Metals are a class of elements. A pure metal is an element. Some metals are alloys, which mean they have more than one metal or element in them. The metal bronze is made of two elements, the metal tin and the metal copper.

Everything is made from atoms. I think you mean to ask "is metal an element?" and my answer to that as well, is that everything is made up of elements. Pure metals are individually their own elements, yes, however, alloys are combinations of two or more different metals that are chemically bonded.

No, metals are elements (there are metal atoms) while rocks are made of mineral materials. If you meant music, yes heavy metal is a genre of rock.
