Metal music is known for its aggressive style, loud guitars, and sometimes satanic themes.

The terminology Heavy Metal used the title because it’s probably more understandable than just ‘Metal” to the general population.

From German heavy metal band Accept’s 1982 album Restless and Wild. Accept is one of the bands to influence the sound later coined as thrash metal — a metal style that Metallica brought to the mainstream.
