Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. Today, the original genre is often referred to as classic metal or traditional heavy metal. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness.
Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed by Dave Mustaine, known for pioneering the genre with fast rhythms, complex guitar work, and politically charged lyrics.
