So im currently listening to Godflesh, and its got me thinking about 'heavy' music. What do YOU think of as heavy? How do you define it? Is it a hectic rhythm section? Sub-sonic bass? scooped/non-scooped distortion?
I figured it would be mighty interesting to see what everyone on here thought
Answer away!
For me, heavy is groove oriented (whatever kind of groove, as long as it has one), generally slower tempo, with massive chords and hugely downtuned guitar, coupled with a real anger to the vocals (not necessairily screamed, but when yuo can feel the disgust...)
Think American Head Charge, Godflesh, 16volt, Kidneythieves, hell even Combichrist.
I only put a single choice up, so pick the option closest to what you think, and write a reply if theres more than one or you pick "other", and give us an example of what you mean.
