Metal is a genre of rock music that is characterized by its heavy use of distorted electric guitars, fast-paced rhythms, and powerful vocals. It originated in the late 1960s and early 1970s and has since produced many subgenres, including heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, and black metal. Metal music is known for its intense and often aggressive sound, as well as its use of complex musical structures and lyrics that often deal with darker themes such as death, rebellion, and the occult.

Some of the most iconic and influential metal bands and musicians include Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and Megadeth. The genre has also produced many successful acts in recent years such as Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Mastodon, and Lamb of God.
