    like anyone can drop to a,

    Heaviness has more to do with songwriting than it does tuning.

    For example, here's the Dream Theater song Panic Attack, which is in B flat tuning:

    Now here's the Gojira song Heaviest Matter in the Universe, which is in D:

    So, tuning lower doesn't mean heavier. Heavy is all about the songwriting. ;)

    Hell, even Pink Floyd's The Wall is pretty damn heavy songwriting-wise, but musically, its pretty inoffensive to the ears

    Meshuggah tune to F, bash the fúck out of the drums, scream like a particularly distressed cow, AND stick to good song writing AND being heavy as piss (if not heavier). :pac:

    Actually half of the songs since nothing are tuned to Eb (that is, down 13 semitones)
