Chronologie du metal
Cette chronologie détaille la formation et l'évolution des différents groupes musicaux classifiés metal, soit l'ensemble des genres musicaux faisant partie ou découlant du hard rock et/ou du heavy metal. Elle inclut également des groupes de rock formés dans les années 1960 ayant été précurseurs ou ayant exercé une influence suffisamment forte pour avoir permis l'émergence de cette musique.
Un groupe pouvant évoluer au cours de sa carrière, il est ainsi possible de voir certain d'entre eux produire des albums metal à une période donnée, mais pas avant où pas après cette période. Ainsi, par souci d'exhaustivité, l'intégralité de la discographie de ces groupes en question est tout de même listée.
Concernant les groupes aux origines du metal ou de catégories au sein du metal, seuls les groupes ayant été influents ou précurseurs à la musique metal sont référencés et leur discographie complète détaillée dans la chronologie. De leur côté Les groupes issus d'autres genre musicaux (ex. : punk, rap, jazz, musiques traditionnelles...) ayant influencé des groupes de metal pour donner des genres hybrides (ex. : hardcore, fusion, grunge, folk metal...) ne sont eux pas référencés. En effet les genres hybrides n'apparaissent que bien après que le metal n'a été mis en place, tandis que les groupes précurseurs sont eux entièrement constitutifs de la création de ce type de musique.
Chronologie du metal: 1970 - 1971 - 1972 - 1973 - 1974 - 1975 - 1976 - 1977 - 1978 - 1979 - 1980 - 1981 - 1982 - 1983 - 1984 - 1985 - 1986
