Heavy metal emerged in the late 1960s, fusing blues-rock and psychedelia with amplified distortion, thunderous rhythms and soaring or guttural vocals. Pioneered by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, it channeled themes of rebellion, mythology and existential angst. Subgenres such as thrash (Metallica), death metal (Cannibal Corpse) and black metal (Mayhem) diversified its sound with speed, technicality or dark atmospheres.
Characterised by thrilling guitar solos, rousing drums and charged lyrics, metal culture combines a raucous, leathery aesthetic with frantic live rituals such as headbanging and mosh pits.The global community is united by the cathartic power of heavy metal music, celebrating resilience, individuality, and amplifying the raw energy of rebellion.
