Popularity

The genre served as the basis for development of future directions. In the early 1980s, many bands began to increase the speed and aggressiveness of their sound and rhythm, creating a wide range of new sub-genres. With the advent of many branches of the genre, the number of new bands playing classic heavy metal began to decrease. The basic elements of the traditional heavy are preserved by some power metal bands, which have reduced speed and increased the heaviness, such as HammerFall, Edguy, et al. Many groups that began with thrash metal, such as Metallica, Megadeth, and Iced Earth, later changed their style towards heavier one. The band Lordi won the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, increasing the popularity of the direction and encouraging people to buy heavy metal music.
