Początkowy, lecz już wyraźnie ukształtowany heavy metal, można zaobserwować w muzyce grup Led Zeppelin i Black Sabbath. Jeśli chodzi o korzenie, to jedni upatrują prototypu utworu heavymetalowego w piosence The Beatles "Helter-Skelter" (z Białego Albumu) lub The Kinks "You Really Got Me", inni zaś za pierwsze utwory protoheavymetalowe uznają przeboje grupy The Dave Clark Five, szczególnie "Any Way You Want It" i "Glad All Over" z 1964 roku. Zresztą nurt zapoczątkowany przez The Dave Clark Five nazywa się heavy drum albo heavy bass, od ciężkiego, hałaśliwego i agresywnego brzmienia.

Natalie Merchant - When They Ring The Golden Bells
There's a land beyond the river
that they call the sweet forever
and we'll only reach that shore
by fate's decree
one by one we'll gain the portals
there to dwell with the immortals
when they ring the golden bells for you and me

don't you hear the bells now ringing
don't you hear the angels singing
to say glory hallelujah
to believe
in the far off sweet forever
just beyond the shining river
when they ring the golden bells for you and me

we shall know no sin or sorrow
in that river of tomorrow
when our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery sea
we shall only know the blessing
of our fathers sweet caressing
when they ring the golden bells for you and me

don't you hear the bells now ringing
don't you hear the angels singing
to say glory hallelujuah
to believe
in the far off sweet forever
just beyond the shining river
when they ring the golden bells for you and me

when our days shall know their number
when in death we sweetly slumber
when the king commands the spirit to be free
never more with anguish laden
we shall reach that lovely Eden
when they ring the golden bells for you and me
when they ring the golden bells for you and me pozycjonowanie monety złote motoryzacja pokoje nad morzem Teksty piosenek
