| abstract | - Heavy Classical was a genre of music derived from the culturally significant Classical genre and the counterculturally significant Heavy Metal genre. While most found it difficult to understand the connection between the two, Heavy Classical junkies claimed that, once one got past the heavy gain and simplistic shenanigans, Heavy Classical was a very rewarding listening experience rivalling that of true Classical recordings. Classical music purists were incensed by what they considered a perversion of their favorite genre of music. "By adding their primitive and loud instrumentation, they detract from the texture and beauty of the music." The composers of the songs have not expressed a view on this, as they are all, sadly, deceased.
