Booking Heavy-Metal Bands

Taking rock and roll to the extreme, metal bands emerged in the late '60s and early '70s with a very distinct sound. When your party, festival or event calls for the guitar-dominated, headbanging sound of heavy metal music, trust Gigmasters to link you with a large selection of metal bands. From groups who perform their own originals to those that cover the classics including Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, you can count on performers who will keep attendees on their feet. With the exception of a few "unplugged" tunes, most heavy metal music requires electric instruments including guitars, bass and keyboard. Of course, that unmistakable rhythm is pounded out on drums.
