What is the most broooooooooooooooottttaaaaallllllllll scale for heavy music?

Chromatic.

I was thinking blues minor pentatonic.

In all seriousness, my guitarist and I always talk about what makes things heavy. We play in a doomy/stonerish heavy rock band and we tune to Eb. People always ask us if we tune real low. They never believe me. But as my guitarist always says, heaviness has more to do with tension than actually lowness of the note. It took me a while but, I'm coming around to that line of thinking.

Just down tune and play it pile-drivingly heavy

Chuck Norris fears the Phyrgian mode.

I thought it was Locrian

diminished scales are pretty dark.
a lot of metal guitarists have been using harmonic minor a lot too. food for thought.

We're done here folks. This is the best possible answer.

 

[Bocete]

Downtuned riffs in whole-step scale. They hurt.

Nah, it's ninjas and pirates that are afraid of that one.

Chromatic.

Chromatics are easy! You start with your fretted note, pluck the string hard, then slide your finger down 12 frets. Voila! Chromatic scale.

 

[rimtism123]

try dissonance chords
