Rock Music

The music genre called heavy metal is a development of the period between the late

1960’s and early 70’s within the UK as well as the US and deeply rooted in the psychedelic as

well as blues- rock genres of music. Bands played the music that all adopted thick music with

massive and high amplification of the sound. Among the primary characteristics of heavy metal

music is the loudness as well as distortion of guitars, rhythmic emphatics, great vigor vocals, and
