History of Metal

Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that developed in between 1968 and 1974. it has many different roots and different branches that have come off of heavy metal, such as progressive,death, and my personal favorite Thrash metal. These are all somewhat similar to each other and developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, and emphatic beats.

Led Zeppelin's name can be said and everyone will know the name. Him along with the world famous bands Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are the reason heavy metal is what it is now. From them was born the big 3. This included Megadeth, Slayer, and of course Metallica. Their type of music became known as Thrash Metal.
