Heavy Metal Music
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, monumental sound characterized by distortion (music), distorted guitars, extended guitar solos, emphatic Beat (music), beats and loudness. In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers – Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss (band), Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,Walser (1993), p. 6 while Motörhea ...

Burzum
Burzum (; ) was a Norwegian music project founded by Varg Vikernes in 1991. Although Burzum never played live performances, it became a part of the early Norwegian black metal scene and is considered one of the most influential acts in black metal's history. Vikernes has also released four dark ambient and neofolk albums. The word "burzum" means "darkness" in the black speech, a fictional language crafted by ''The Lord of the Rings'' writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Burzum's lyrics and imagery are often inspired by fantasy and Norse mythology, and do not feature the political views for which Vikernes is known.Von Helden, Imke. ''Norwegian Native Art: Cultural Identity in Norwegian Metal Music''. LIT Verlag, 2017. pp. 35, 179 Vikernes founded Burzum in 1991 and recorded the first four Burzum albums between January 1992 and March 1993.

Deranged is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1991. The band was named after the 1974 movie '' Deranged''.

Drawing inspirations from Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Morbid Angel, Suffocation and Napalm Death, the band is better associated with US death metal. The band have released the singles ''The Confessions of a Necrophile'' -title directly extracted of the movie- (1992) and ''Upon the Medical Slab'' (1994), the EPs ''The Confessions Continue'' (1993), ''Architects of Perversions'' (1994) and ''Sculpture of the Dead'' (1996) and the albums ''Rated X'' (1995), ''High on Blood'' (1998), ''III'' (2000), ''Deranged'' (2001), ''Plainfield Cemetery'' (2002), ''Obscenities in B-Flat'' (20 ...
