more Metal Music Videos

Heavy metal music / heavymetalmusic(sometimes referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed between 1968 and 1974.[1] With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal music developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and fast guitar solos. Allmusic declares, "Of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal music/heavymetalmusic is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."[2] heavy metal music/heavymetalmusic became broadly popular during the 1980s, when many now-widespread subgenres first evolved. Variations more aggressive and extreme than metal music of the past were mostly restricted to an underground audience; others, including glam metal and, to a lesser extent, thrash metal went on to mainstream commercial success. In recent years, new styles such as nu metal have further expanded the definition of the genre.
