The New Wave of British Heavy Metal
In the late 1970s, a new generation of British heavy metal bands emerged, including Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Saxon. These bands combined the raw power of early metal with a greater emphasis on melody and technical proficiency. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) helped to popularize metal music and set the stage for its global dominance.
The Rise of Thrash Metal
In the early 1980s, a new subgenre of metal emerged: thrash metal. Pioneered by bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth, thrash metal was characterized by its lightning-fast guitar playing, double bass drumming, and aggressive vocals. Thrash metal became a major force in the metal scene and helped to further expand its reach.

The Future of Metal Music
