The Heavy Metal is a music genre that combines musical elements of rock and roll, the blues and occasionally classical music.It is characterized by rhythms made powerful through the use of guitar distortion, batteries with double pedal, and low pronounced. The term heavy metal, because the progression that has suffered this kind since its inception, is currently used to refer to two different concepts: heavy metal genre (also called metal) and classical and heavy metal musical subgenre within that traditional gender. Heavy metal is the genre that has more subgenres within it. Term: The origin of the term "heavy metal" is unclear. One version claims that was coined by writerBurroughs "href " http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/William S. Burroughs "> William S. Burroughs, who in his 1961 novel The Soft Machine, includes the character" Uranian Willy, the Heavy Metal Kid "( Uranian Willy, the boy "Heavy Metal"). In his next novel, the year 1964, Nova Express, further develops this concept of "heavy metal being a metaphor for drug abuse. Another remarkable aspect of these novels is the frequent use of sound as releasing agent programmed life and the alienation caused by an increasingly mechanical world. Another theory, possibly apocryphal origin of the term notes as a rock critic who in 1967 said that the music of Jimi Hendrix was "like heavy metal falling from the sky" (in Spanish: "like heavy metal falling from the sky") . History: The music blues U.S. had a great influence on the early British rock groups.
