No, wait! Let me rephrase this: FUCKING IAN GILLAN'S FUCKING VOICE!! The guy has been a major influence on many singers, not least Bruce Dickinson (yes, one of my favourite singer ever from my favourite band ever: Iron Maiden). I remember when I first listened to their album 'In Rock': the shattering violence and fast-paced tempo, the crazy guitar solos, the frantic bass, intoxicating drumming, surprising keyboards, and, above all, Ian Gillan's voice. Yet, personally, I would trace it back to Deep Purple. Heavy Metal fans usually trace the roots of the genre to Black Sabbath, and, it's true that their powerful heavy sound, coupled with gloom and dark atmosphere, would be a major foundation stone to the music.
