Hey there! I'm a huge metalhead, by favorite music by far is heavy metal.
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s
That's awesome, I had no idea. I just recently started listening to it within the past few years. Are you a fan?
It has its roots in blues rock and psychedelic/acid rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness.
