Heaviness is something that emanates from the music itself, and really has nothing to do with what equipment is being used to formulate the said music.
Judas Priest is heavier than a lot of metal bands nowadays.

...And that's a fact!!!I'd rather hear the worst Judas Priest albums than some of the best of what the new self proclaimed "innovative" bands are doing now.
At the same time, there are a few exceptions/impressive bands out today, so I always keep my ears open.
