Yes, the beginning of Heavy Metal dates back to the end of the 60s with the arrival of the eternal trio, Black Sabbath , Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin , and gained strength in the 70s with numerous bands such as Kiss , AC/DC , Scorpions , Rush , Aerosmith , among many others.
But the first truly strong, organized movement, easily recognizable by the explosion of Metal bands followed by an army of Headbangers, was the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a flood of bands and albums coming from England between 1980 and 1984. What a phase!
