Heavy metal vinyl records, categorized by heavy distortion, intricate guitar solos, and strong drum beats, became popular in the late '60s and early '70s, featuring bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest. Metal is still popular world-wide today, and new albums continue to be released on vinyl.
The late 1970s brought the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a less blues-inspired response to the earlier metal movement. The NWOBHM featured bands such as Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Motörhead, and paved the way for future heavy metal artists world-wide. Numerous subgenres of metal emerged in the 1980s, such as glam metal, death metal, thrash metal, speed metal, and power metal.
