Heavy Metal was developed around 1969 and 1974 from Blues Rock, Classical music, and apparently Satan - according to many Christians and conservatives. The aural aspects of metal generally revolve around highly-amplified guitar distortion and fast guitar solos. Metal has a large amount of fans, few of whom advocate Christianity in any form.
Subgenres include Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash (or Speed) Metal, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, Doom Metal, Folk (or Viking) Metal, Power Metal, Progressive (or Avant-Garde) Metal, and Gothic Metal.
