Music genre often labeled "heavy"

I believe the answer is:

metal

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "Iron, gold or silver, for example" , "Given lead, perhaps" , "Intrinsic quality; stone for roads" , "Tungsten, for example" , "barium?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
