Heavy Metal
Transcript: David Terrazas! Heavy Metal P.6 History During the 1980s, both hyper aggressive thrash metal and ultra poppy glam metal became the popular breeds of heavy metal. As metal continued to evolve, new genres like metalcore and nu metal popped up. In the late 1970s, bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest stripped heavy metal of most of its blues influence and, merging it with punk sensibility, creating the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Heavy metal music is generally fast, powerful and loud. Heavy metal guitar is heavy distorted. Rhythm guitarists play very fast palm-muted style guitar, while lead guitarists play riffs. Heavy metal bassists play root notes or follow the guitar, providing the extreme low end sound that gives the genre its "heavy" name. Heavy metal drummers play extremely fast and repetitious beats. Heavy metal's lyrics have explored darker and more philosophical themes than most of rock music's offshoots. Heavy metal lyrics often make references to death, violent imagery, blood, gore, drugs and sex Because of heavy metal's dark imagery and lyrical content, it has been the subject of controversy with parents and the media since the 1970s. Heavy metal bands have been accused of inspiring violence and suicide via their lyrics Heavy metal music emerged during the late 1960s and early 1970s as an offshoot of hard rock.
