Metal at 40

BBC Radio 4

A broadcast looking back at the roots of Heavy Metal.

In 1968, Britain's first heavy metal bands were formed

transforming rock music around the world, forever.

Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple

each had their own unique sound, but shared an approach

that embraced "heavy" guitar riffs, powerful lead vocals

and thunderous percussion.

Since then, heavy metal has flourished and diversified

spawning sub-genres such as grindcore, thrash and death metal.

Horror film actor and writer Emily Booth

tells the story of the loudest, darkest form of rock

with the help of many of metal's leading musicians.
