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.

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!
