Heavy metal music is so-called metal rock music. Heavy metal music was originally considered as "hard rock" by some people. In fact, hard rock and heavy metal are usually not easy to distinguish, and different people have different ways to distinguish them.
Music is very "heavy", giving listeners a feeling of hysteria and mania, which is obviously different from other music, so this kind of music is named "heavy metal".
There are many kinds of metal music, including "melody metal" and "rhythm metal" in terms of rhythm and melody. In any case, metal music with melody is lighter than metal music without melody, and different genres of metal music use different timbres, some are more distorted and some are lighter.
Extended data:
As we all know, classical music has a heavy texture, a huge structure and scale, a dignified musical thought, a profound ideological connotation, and the most important feature is seriousness and solemnity. Light music is light in texture, compact and simple in structure, lively in rhythm and beautiful in melody, and is generally played by piano and violin.
It has no profound ideological connotation, and it doesn't want to have this connotation. It just wants to bring people relaxed and beautiful enjoyment. Its main feature is lightness and liveliness. Therefore, it is very appropriate to name this kind of music light music.
But light music is not the same as pop music with pop songs as its core. Unlike classical music, which has distinct characteristics of the times and critical consciousness of society, it is gentle and gentle, and unlike pop music, which has high aesthetic taste and relatively little commercial flavor. Popular pop songs will soon be out of date, but beautiful light music will last forever.
The original prototype of metal music was created by Black Sabbath. They changed from a blues band to a heavy and brutal industrial rock band, and expressed their great fear of modern life by describing a lot of metaphors in detail. Their symbolic mysticism takes eternity and fantasy as symbols of life, and their tenacious, emotional and free guitars give people a very direct and real feeling.
Then they combined gypsy temperament with nihilism, darkness and morbid tendency, and established early metal music. Those who rejected hippie culture and were not comforted under the social system at that time quickly fell into the arms of this music, and the lost gypsies everywhere also found new homes in this music.
