Music style currently played at the Wacken Festival, but not beneficial for everyone, with legendary beginnings.

Legendary genre: Even where the name comes from is not definitively secured. In the 1960s, the term “heavy metal” appeared in novels by William S. Burroughs as a metaphor for drugs. In the 1968 song “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf, the sung “heavy metal thunder” meant the roar of the motorcycles. Heavy metal was probably first used as a description for a certain sound in 1970 in Rolling Stone record reviews. The founding myth of the music might hardly be more apt: Tony Iommi, who later became Black Sabbath’s guitarist, was 17 when, while working in a steel and sheet metal factory – a matter of honor – his gripping hand got caught in a press. At that time, the Briton lost the tips of his ring and middle fingers. This is how musical careers ended in Birmingham in the 1960s. Actually. Because Iommi made something like thimbles out of self-melted plastic – and kept going. However, he had to use thinner strings and tune the guitar deeper. That’s how the heavy-dark riffs came regarding, industrial city-sooty, highly dangerous, very frightening. “Black Sabbath”, the debut of the band, which also included singer Ozzy Osbourne, was released on Friday February 13, 1970 and is now regarded as the birth of metal, which is currently being celebrated once more at the Wacken Festival.
