What is the difference between heavy metal and hard rock?
Well, of course there are a lot of hybrids between hard rock and heavy metal in general. But lyrically spoken some say that heavy metal is usually
about dark stuff and world domination while hard rock is typically more phallic and turns to sex. Others say that anything before 1978 with distorted
guitars can be called hard rock. Of course, this is a bit easy. We'd say hard rock usually has a more bluesy undertone and follows strict rules of
a driving rhythm which is combined with more simplistic riffs that are repeated quite often. It feels tight.
Having been developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s heavy metal in turn usually has this wall of sound going on,
where guitar play relies heavily on epic riffs, fancy solo work and creates this thick and massive sound.
There are tons of heavy metal sub-genres. And in case you really want to learn about the different styles and genres of heavy metal
and gain an in-depth knowledge on the topic, we totally
