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

Metal fans will know that the above mentioned is a wild stereotype and generalisation of metal. As there are so many different spectrums from symphonic to extreme. Back to the initial question, what makes metal heavy? Well it’s really simple, the community.
