金属音乐研究将“沉重”定义为该音乐类型的声音特征，但很少对其声学或相关话语进行探索。这项研究分析了留言板，以确定音乐制作人和音乐家如何在他们的讨论中使用“沉重”的隐喻。从业者的策略，以实现沉重的审查，以了解什么因素影响他们的决定。研究结果表明，虽然沉重是基于一组核心音乐特征，但它对挪用、修改和发展是开放的。沉重已经成为流派演变的合适动力，并象征性地代表了金属音乐对其社区的意义。
Metal music studies defines “heaviness” as the genre’s sonic signature but has rarely explored the sonics or the related discourse. This study analyzes message boards to determine how music producers and musicians use the “heavy” metaphor in their discussions. Practitioners’ strategies employed to achieve heaviness are scrutinized to learn about what considerations influence their decisions. The findings suggest that while heaviness is based on a core set of musical features, it is open to appropriation, modification, and development. Heaviness has become a suitable impetus for the genre’s evolution and iconically represents what metal music stands for to its community.
