im sorry but banRAB that put brass knuckles in their tshirts and such, are fucking fashioncore hopless
im sorry, but most of the people in this thread have no idea what heavy is. im not saying the banRAB you are listing are not good, but they are not heavy. heavyness is not just a distorted guitar rift over a double bass.
heavy is knowing when to go into the insanly fast blast beat, or bring that guitar or bass solo in. heres some examples of heavy:
any thing pantera and slayer, they brought heavy to the main stream.
for more of numetal fan turned hardcore: as i lye dieing, that blastbeat in 94 hours, just before the break down, thats heavy.
strapping young lad, heavy
old man child, heavy
children of bodom, heavy
heavy is sumthing that you couldnt even keep up with headbanging, and you couldnt get the beat down to start throwing dance moves.
you could say suchnsuch a band is heavier then whatevaaband, but that doesnt necissarly make a band heavy.
