Iron, then maybe steel but alluminium is not that heavy.
Wrong.
Specific gravity of Iron: 490.0595 lbs/cu.ft.
Lead: 707.9332 lbs/cu.ft.
Shit, even Mercury, Cobalt, Copper, Gold, Molybdenum, Nickel, Silver, Platinum, and Tungsten are all "heavier" than Iron.
Interestingly, Steel (which is an alloy) in cold rolled form is AS dense as Iron, not less.
Just a tip: Make sure you actually have some facts to throw around before you try to condescend toward somebody.

Probably death metal.
Black metal isn't very heavy, per se, though it's certainly aggressive. Most BM bands tune to E Standard, whereas I know of death metal bands that go as low as B, A, or Drop G on 7-string guitars, and Meshuggah and Divine Heresy tune to G standard on 8-string guitars. Doom is pretty heavy as well, Electric Wizard tune to G-standard for most of their stuff. Generally when reverring to heavy, you take into account the low-end of the tone, not the speed or aggressiveness.
Listen to bands like Wormphlegm or Esoteric for what I mean, it's so heavy that the atmosphere itself can suffocate you.
Appreciating the beauty in music fast enough to tear mortal's faces off.

So it's not about lyrical themes or ideas? So I could write a song about how bad my farts smell as long as my guitar is tuned to G and it would be the heaviest s**t evar? Doom to me is just bad black metal played very slow.

Yes, essentially. Heaviness is a feeling. Oppressive and really prominent ba** tones, as well as lots of gain, really are what makes a band heavy. There's some intense black metal bands, like Xasthur and Impaled Nazarene, but they're not HEAVY, at least not the way I think about it.
for Heavy that's not Death or doom, try out Strapping Young Lad.
But regarding black metal, Xasthur sucks and Impaled Nazarene is borderline on the chopping block. IDK, maybe I'm trying to make the point that heavy doesn't always equal good(wrong thread maybe). I just think Doom and Depressive Black Metal(still don't know what that means, it's like a huge paradox by my definition of Black Metal.)sucks. My favorite Black Metal bands are Antaeus, Absu and Averse Sefira because their songs worship the strength in nature and mainly stress the follies and failures of humankind and have muddy, distorted guitars and low production values used for effect and atmosphere and not just as some "black metal trademark gimick". That to me is heavy.
