Hard rock yielding lead, maybe (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heavy metal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hard rock' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lead maybe' is the second definition.
(lead is an example of a heavy metal)

'yielding' is the link.

(Other definitions for heavy metal that I've seen before include "Type of rock" , "Loud rock music" , "guitar is thrashed in it" , "Rock music (big guns?)" , "Loud form of rock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
