THE HEAVY METAL, AND BLACK SABBATH

Hi another time and welcome again to Music World. This time we´re going to talk about Heavy Metal and its history.

HEAVY METAL

Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the Midlands of the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues rockpsychedelic 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.
The first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences...let´s talk for example about Black Sabbath.

BLACK SABBATH


Black Sabbath were an English rock band, formed in Aston, Birmingham in 1968 by Dio and Ozzy Osbourne (lead vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass guitar), and Bill Ward (drums). The band has since experienced multiple changes, with Tony Iommi the only constant presence in the band through the years. 22 musicians have at one time been members of Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi is for me, and for many people one of the bests guitars players in the world. He´s amazing¡
Now I put one of their bests songs, with lyrics, of course:


they say: WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR ROCK & ROLL
