Doom metal, probably.

Djent isn't a genre, it's just a sound.

What the hell kind of question is this?

It's like you're trying to do wordplay - Heavy Metal is only "Harder than Metal" semantically - if we're talking a specific style then "Heavy Metal" typically refers to the trad. stuff, which is arguably the least "hard" kind of metal around except like Glam Metal (depends on the band) or the absolute floweriest EuroPM. It's not rly a descriptor which evokes "harder," edgier stuff than "metal" by itself does, but if you're just making a word joke it would make sense.

But then you say "Djent" and even that stops making sense.

Someone said Extreme Metal, which is the correct (I GUESS???) answer. But basically, I can list off shit that's generally heavier than Heavy Metal proper is:

Death Metal, Black Metal, War Metal, Grindcore, early Industrial Metal (not including NIN & Neu Deutsch Harte or whatever it's called), Thrash Metal, Doom Metal, Sludge Metal, almost all Avant Garde Metal, Viking Metal, Speed Metal, Metallic Hardcore, probably honestly like 1/2 of Nu Metal (Slipknot and KoRn were listening to DM, and those downtuned riffs are heavy even if they suck), and… sure… probably most Djent, too. Oh, and Groove Metal probably but who gives a fuck about Groove Metal?

Well, as other said, extreme metal.

"Hard rock" and "heavy metal" were traditionally used interchangeably, with the latter term often being used a derogatory term for heavy rock bands. It really only started to change with the rise of extreme metal, and now you regularly hear more vanilla heavy metal bands being called "just hard rock" by post-boomer generations.

I think Black Sabbath has a lot to do with classic heavy metal like Led Zeppelin getting considered rock. Despite being one of the very first, their music was much heavier than most other metal bands of the time and sounds closer to modern metal than their peers.

That's also a valid point. While Rolling Stone called Led Zeppelin the heaviest band of all time, Master of Reality in particular blows away Black Sabbath's early-'70s contemporaries in terms of heaviness. People expect everything to sound like Black Sabbath when they were probably the heaviest band of their era (at least among the ones that were known by the general public at that point).
