You're the one who apparently took offense to me pointing out that they were dumb as shit practically reactionary political garbage to the extent they actually hold the song back in terms of hardness. It's not my fault you're trying to defend unintentional comedy genius.
6.5 - Motorhead in general are about as hard as you can go metal/punk/rock wise based on late 70's conceptions of the fast and filthy. Lots of loose, rollicking riffing that doesn't have much of the bottom end or rigid tenacity either metal or punk would make their calling cards but the swaggering, raw charisma Lemmy delivers vocally gives it a bit more edge than your average hard rock band at the least.

6. Not too heavy even though I expected it to be heavier.
Attack Attack! - Stick Stickly
Catch me on The Zenith - Denzel Curry5.5 - Status as an incredibly stale meme aside, has the standard metalcore trope of somehow thinking chug-thug breakdowns are supposed to be heavy for basically repeating a rhythmic trope as stale as AC/DC. Helped less by the emphasis on random shimmery poppy segments and the riffs during the chug thug moments being awkwardly upper pitch janky ones more irritating and spindly than weighty.
Your song is a high 6. It's has some heavy riffs but the electronica parts and melodic parts lower the rating.
Your song is a 9. Pretty heavy stuff.

Soft 7 - Pretty standard metal song with some softer parts.
A hard 7. Not the heaviest thing in the world but very chaotic.
Pig Destroyer - Cheerleader Corpses
Hard 9 - Extreme sound that isn't necessarily brutal enough to hit a heavier part of the scale.
7. It's got heavy riffs but it's also pretty melodic as well.
7 - Slightly more attitude driven post-Malmsteen neoclassical power metal. Powerful melodies though rhythm wise it's not really packing that much heat.
Pretty heavy and dark stuff. 10.
3 - Empty is how I'd describe that. Lots of fluttery, colourful melodies but they all feel so small or otherwise distant and insignificant in its bigger picture. Subsequently it communicates a lot more spaciousness than mass and force.
Light 11 - While it is very heavy, I feel like the reverb sound of it all kind of softens the blow. It's still heavy enough to be around that 11 mark, though.
I'd say a light 5, the electronics smooth out all the distortion. Sounds almost like an intro to a CN cartoon.
Alice In Chains - A Looking In View
Nonsense is better than no sense at all.7. There's down-tuned riffs, and a slow tempo befitting doom metal. It's a pretty good song from the post-Staley era.
EDIT-Someone already did spiritual healing

Nevermore - Beyond Within
7.5 - Interesting in how it attempts to bring back some classic thrash ideas into a 90's semi-groovey framework but the tendency for said groove aspect to reduce riffing into muddy, static thud-chug communicates a very half-assed sense of heaviness offset by dissonant resolutions to each riff that simply aren't that hard hitting.
It's a 9. It's a pretty heavy Death Metal song. Pretty good song.
Fear Factory - Crash Test
1. Sounds very light, yet upbeat and groovy.
Colossal Trailer Music - Hexxen Virus (Composer: Rich Davis)
"This kimono is perfect for the Hisui-themed festival, right?" - Cynthia7 - Big and booming but it lacks a sense of solidity and weightiness behind its theatrics to really come off as imposing.
10 - Love the guitars and deep guttural growls.
Colossal Trailer Music - Assassination Dept (Composer: Brent Daniels)
"This kimono is perfect for the Hisui-themed festival, right?" - Cynthia6 - It's movie trailer music. Hard enough to appeal to commercial audience but I think people can see through the act easily.
Doobie Brothers - What A Fool Believes
pain
Anyway, that Pig Destroyer sounds like a 9
