Collection: Heavy Metal

The genre that started it all—heavy metal is defined by powerful guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring or growled vocals. Born in the late 1960s and '70s, it laid the foundation for countless subgenres, with themes ranging from fantasy and rebellion to darkness and power.

Foundational bands include Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Dio.

Loud, epic, and unapologetically intense—this is metal in its purest form.
