The first heavy metal acts are considered to be Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and
Deep Purple, often referred to as the “unholy trinity”. Led Zeppelin released their
self-titled debut in 1969, while Black Sabbath and Deep Purple put out influential
records in 1970.
Metal began to branch out into sub-genres, with glam and hair metal acts like
Motley Crue and Poison spearheading the movement. Thrash metal became huge, with
bands such as Metallica and Megadeth reaching ever larger audiences, thanks in part
to metal acts being played on MTV, which started airing in 1981.
