← Back to discoveryHeavy Metal Music Discovery
Heavy metal hardened from late-'60s blues-rock into its own genre with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal — Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Diamond Head — codified the imagery and twin-guitar attack. Today's heavy metal lives across power, prog, classic-revival and traditional strains. PUNKSTAR.ai tracks them all.
