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.
You're really knowledgeable about this stuff. Is it popular just in the USA, or other places of the world as well?
In 1968, three of the genre's most famous acts, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple came to lime light
