What makes heavy metal heavy?
Is it the aggressive, thunderous sound of raging guitars or the growling vocals? Could it be the lyrical content that often evokes disturbing imagery?

Metal fans know that the above is a wild stereotype and a generalization of metal. There are countless spectrums of metal, from symphonic to death. So, back to the initial question: what makes metal heavy? The answer is simple: the community.

Without the metal community, the fire dies. Strength in numbers is what makes metal the center of the universe. Imagine a festival with a lifeless mosh pit or an empty gig at your local venue—it just wouldn’t be the same.
