Why Heavy?

Because some of us need to fight fire with fire. When we get angry or excited or frustrated, mellow, so-called calming music just exaggerates the emotion. No, it is better to meet the anger head-on with music that can rise to the challenge and go beyond. That's why Heavy.

 

What is Heavy?

It is music that embraces extreme emotions. It is not subtle, it is in your face. It is at home in horror movies, sports wrap-up shows, big budget action flicks and sports arenas. It is often technically challenging, whether through melodic gymnastics or up-tempo precision chugging. It hits you like a ton of lead and you love every minute of it.
