Morphology
The meaning 'a style of loud, aggressive rock music' is partly derivable because 'heavy' conveys intensity and 'music' is clear, so a learner could infer "intense or loud music." However, 'metal' as a conventional music category and the specific stylistic features of the genre are lexicalized and culture-specific, so the precise genre sense is not fully predictable from the constituents alone.
Etymology
Heavy metal music comes from a simple picture: imagine big, heavy pieces of metal crashing together and making a very loud, sharp noise. That image fit the loud guitars and drums, so people began using the name to mean 'loud and powerful' rock music.
