You can not really define Heavy Metal bands unless you are talking about the very begining of the "Metal Movement." Judas Priest could be considered a part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, instead of plain heavy metal. I would say the majority of Metal bands would fall in more then one category for different people.
