Summer Slaughter Tickets

The 1960's and 70's saw a new genre of music making way to mainstream music. Metal is a branch of rock music and it rose in popularity initially in the United States and United Kingdom. Bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin introduced metal to the world. Their music however took heavy influence from Blues. When Judas Priest and Motorhead came along they separated their music from blues and created a more pure and refined form of metal. Then ‘Iron Maiden’ and many other bands came and completed the genre. Today, we can see several branches of metal itself.
 
Metal is a loud form of music. The music is heavily distorted with long durations within the song dedicated to instrumental solos, specially the guitars. Lyrics are more than often growled, instead of sung. The genre today has an international fan following. There are numerous well established bands as well as upcoming bands that play metal music which is heard by a huge number of people internationally.
