Definition of "Heavy"

<< < (5/11) > >>

costacide:
Less super-compressed guitar, more brain-shaking basslines.

onewheelwizzard:
You want to hear some heavy shit?  Listen to Jack Rose's "Cross the North Folk."  Yeah, it's just acoustic guitar.  But it's a lumbering, mournful, dirgelike drone with a haunting melody laid over top.  It's 7:26 long and it just exudes this vibe of density and sorrow and loss, and it does a better job of being "heavy" than most distorted, fuzzed-out Kyuss impersonators.  Here, check it out.  http://www.mediafire.com/?cndtjzf3ytu

Proof positive that you don't need distortion pedals, drums, bass, or even an amp or a voice to play heavy music.

valley_parade:
Doesn't hurt, though.

Jackie Blue:
I have never once heard a serious explanation for the appeal of "cookie monster vocals", nor for the widespread usage and uniformity.  For a genre whose fans get really pissed if you imply that "it all sounds the same", they sure are turning a giant blind eye to the fact that a lot of the bands do, IN FACT, have singers that sound EXACTLY THE SAME.

a pack of wolves:
It's just a different sound you can make with your voice, like putting distortion on a guitar to alter the sound it makes. I suppose they have a tendency toward uniformity for the same reasons a lot of bands and other instruments end up sounding the same.
