Heavy metal

Heavy metal (or metal commonly) is a kind of rock emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States in the late 1960s. The heavy metal band draws its inspiration, between 1969 and 1974 in groups of Hard rock, combining blues and rock, have created a hybrid sounding heavy and thick, centered on the pulse of the drums and guitar distortion highly amplified.

Over the years, heavy metal has spawned sub-genres, and although they are generally called "metal" by the general public, the term "heavy metal" now has two distinct meanings: either the genus and all its variants, is the original style of the groups of the 1970s and 1980s - sometimes dubbed "traditional heavy metal." Thus, the definition of the term tends to be ambiguous and is not the same as the period of rock history to which we refer.

* In the 1970s, the term "heavy metal" (popularized by critic Lester Bangs) was synonymous with hard rock, genre he still sometimes equated in the popular subconscious. The first groups - like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly - were equally considered as groups of heavy metal or hard rock.

* In the early 1980s, the term was redefined by Lester Bangs shortly before his death: there is a subtle difference between hard rock and heavy metal, residing mainly in the fact that the heavy metal tends to get rid of the blues roots while the Hard Rock are kept. With this definition, which prevails today, only traditional heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest can be seen as precursors of the aesthetic and the specific sound of heavy metal.
The heavy metal was popularized in the 1970 and 1980, as and when measuring the appearance of its sub-genres, and is always in the 2000s a strong enthusiasm from fans around the world
