Examples of Heavy metal





Music tribe research-Heavy metal

Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in England and the United States.With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic 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. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated with masculinity and machismo.

Early heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often critically reviled, a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence; Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Iron Maiden followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the decade, heavy metal had attracted a worldwide following of fans known as metalheads" or headbangers.

Mod (modernist) is a subculture that originated in London, England in the late 1950s and peaked in the early to mid 1960s.
Significant elements of the mod subculture include fashion (often tailor-made suits), pop music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B and Italian motor scooters. The original mod scene was also associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs. From the mid to late 1960s onwards, the mass media often used the term mod in a wider sense to describe anything that was believed to be popular, fashionable or modern.
There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California. Mods tended to prefer bands based on R&B like small faces, the kinks and The Who
