Heavy Metal Magazine, also known simply as Heavy Metal, is an adult-oriented science fiction and fantasy magazine that originated in France and later gained international popularity. First published in 1977, it quickly became renowned for its edgy content, featuring mature themes, explicit artwork, and provocative storytelling.

The magazine's name, "Heavy Metal," is derived from the French publication "Métal Hurlant," which translates to "Howling Metal." It was created as an English-language version of the French magazine, and its content embodies a fusion of various genres, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, and erotica.
