Overview
Heavy Metal is a genre of rock music that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, characterized by its loud, aggressive sound and themes often centered on fantasy and rebellion. Pioneered by bands like [[black-sabbath|Black Sabbath]], [[led-zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]], and [[deep-purple|Deep Purple]], it has evolved into a diverse subculture that influences fashion, art, and lifestyle. The genre is not just music; it’s a powerful vehicle for self-expression and a rallying point for subversive themes.
