🎸 Genre: Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as one of the founding branches of Metal. Darker, heavier and more intense than hard rock, it established a musical language that would shape the entire spectrum of extreme music.
The origins of Heavy Metal are inseparable from pioneering bands such as Black Sabbath, whose heavy riffs and ominous atmosphere redefined rock music. Following their path, groups like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden helped structure the genre both musically and visually.
Heavy Metal is also defined by iconic figures who became symbols of the genre. Dio introduced a strong sense of fantasy and mythology, while Motörhead blurred the lines between punk, rock and metal with a relentless, no-nonsense approach. Around these pillars, countless bands expanded and diversified the scene.
As both a musical style and a cultural movement, Heavy Metal became the foundation from which numerous subgenres emerged. Still thriving today, it continues to influence classic acts and modern bands alike, confirming its role as a cornerstone of metal music.
This musical heritage is closely tied to a strong and recognizable visual culture, built around symbols, iconic imagery and a deep connection to objects. MusikMachine reflects this legacy by highlighting references drawn from the heavy metal universe, combining band history, visual identity and rock culture as a whole.
