No.... Aerosmith is not considered "heavy metal". Although some of their songs came close to it.... But none of their music is considered heavy metal.
Black Sabbath.
I recently came across this band. Their name is The Berzerker and they hail from Australia. This is the fastest shredding band I have ever heard. They are twice as heavy as Slipknot and 4 times as fast. You can check them out on MySpace. I think they are the heaviest band I've ever heard and I've been a Metalhead for over 30 years( I'm 51 years old). The heaviest heavy metal genre is death metal and black metal or a subgenre of them such as brutal death metal. Doom metal as well can be quite heavy - especially funeral doom or death/doom which is often slower and "thick" sounding kind of heavy. I think Berzerker is fast and chaotic but fastest doesn't mean heaviest. It is all anyone's game as to what band plays the heaviest metal music and in the end all comes down to personal preference.
Yes metallica started the thrash metal genre and influenced thrash metal today When Metallica first came out they were the essence of thrash metal. But today they are the essence of hard rock. They no longer know what metal is.
Some bands like We Came as Romans may include hard core and metal bands, such as: Attack! Attack! At the Drive-In

it all happened in 1968 in Birmingham, England, when a guy called tony iommi got the ends of his fingers on his right hand chopped off my a metal-bending-chopping machine in a factory. this accident happened on the day he was going to leave the factory and begin a career with a band called earth. since he was left handed, he couldn't play guitar anymore, and he couldn't switch to right hand either. so, he melted some plastic on his fingers and covered them with leather, and decided that he could tune down and play with his finger. the sound was a lot more thicker and heavier, which later became the core of the band's sound. then, after that, the band's satanic bassist geezer butler received a satanic book from their singer (the almighty) Ozzy osbourne. the same night, the book disappeared and geezer saw an evil figure standing next to his bed, so Ozzy came up with the lyrics to "black sabbath", and the first heavy metal song was created. plus the band changed their name to black sabbath. and that's how heavy metal began.
