Heavy metal is a music trend that derives from rock music. The origins are found in hard rock, blues rock, and psychedelic rock. On the one hand, we assume that the “heavy” concept arises from beatnik and counterculture; on the other hand, we presume that the heavy metal music movement has a rather geographic root, namely that it comes from the industrial city of Birmingham, home of the bands Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Heavy metal (often abbreviated as metal), is a musical genre. It comes from hard rock and is characterized by strongly aggressive rhythms and a powerful sound, obtained through the emphasis of amplification and distortion of guitars, basses, or sometimes even voices. There is a multitude of styles and sub-genres of heavy metal; consequently there are more melodic and commercial sub-genres, and others with extreme and underground sounds.
Already very popular in the seventies and eighties, it continued to be successful in the following decades and has also diversified into numerous subgenres. There are a lot of artists and groups who are ascribed to metal, both in the official musical mechanisms and in the underground field.
It gave rise to a predominantly apolitical movement (the so-called metal movement), and exploited symbols that underlined a break with current morals.
