It's part of the primordial soup that metal emerged from. UK rock in the early 70 created Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, etc. and they were probably all listening to Queen at the time.
Those groups ARE the og "heavy metal" bands, it's just that metal got heavier during the 80s and 90s. Judas Priest was the heaviest metal going! It's exactly the music the mag Heavy Metal was named after. If you haven't seen the original movie (not the 2000s remake), why haven't you yet?

Sadly, I've seen it, but only because of the south park episode, lol.
