Most pure metals, like aluminium, silver and copper, come from the Earth's crust. They are found in ores - solid materials called minerals, usually occurring in rock, from which the pure metal has to be extracted. The properties of pure metals can be improved by mixing them with other metals to make alloys. Metals are often divided into: * ferrous metals, which have iron in them (for example mild steel, carbon steel and cast iron) * non-ferrous metals, which don't have iron in them (for example copper, aluminium, tin and lead).

A bunch of places. But most of the brutal, harsh music we know was perfected in Norway and Sweden.

Actually, no. Arguably, the first Heavy Metal band was Black Sabbath. The term "Heavy Metal" was first applied to the US band Sir Lord Baltimore. Thrash and Speed Metal have their roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the late 1970s through early 1980s - this was the stepping stone for what's now considered "extreme" Metal.

Most metals are found in ore deposits on the Earth's surface or deep below the planet. These ores are refined to extract the pure metal.
