Draft talk:Heaviness in metal music

Request for comments on draft article "Heaviness in Metal Music"

I've developed this article to address the concept of heaviness in metal music, which currently lacks dedicated coverage on Wikipedia despite being a fundamental concept in metal music scholarship. The article draws from academic sources in musicology, metal studies, and audio engineering to provide a comprehensive overview of how heaviness functions as both a sonic property and cultural concept within metal.

Conflict of Interest Declaration

In the interest of transparency, I wish to disclose that I am one of the researchers of the Heaviness in Metal Music Production (HiMMP) project and author of several of the cited sources in this article. I have made every effort to maintain a neutral point of view and to include diverse scholarly perspectives beyond my own work. I welcome scrutiny and editing from other editors to ensure the article meets Wikipedia's standards for neutrality and verifiability.

Specific areas where feedback would be helpful:

• Balance between technical aspects (production, acoustics) and cultural/historical analysis
• Adequacy of coverage across different metal subgenres
• Any significant scholarly perspectives that may be missing
• Suggestions for improving structure or organization

Thanks in advance for any constructive feedback! Triaxxxos (talk) 10:50, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
