As mentioned in previous comments, perfect for drop D (System Of A Down, among others): they hold tuning superbly well, and are not floppy during play, due to the higher gauge than the Slinky classic.
Recommended for Metal or any other genres with... brutal tones!

Top notch! Well-present bass and enhanced sustain. I find it much more balanced than a standard gauge. I sometimes use a .09 high E string on my '52 Telecaster which has a fairly round neck and a fairly high string action. I gain in playing fluidity!

Mounted on a Cort EVL X5 for heavy drop D then standard E tuning. It works well. You could almost go one notch higher depending on the needs. It improves the metal sound by one tone lower :)

Good value for money, the sound is good, the comfort as well. Provided you take a little care of your instrument, the lifespan is reasonable.

Ideal for giving more power and richness to the sound
When tuning one tone lower for example:
A sound rich in harmonics

The ideal tuner for drop D tuning, the tension is nickel chrome. Moreover, they have more than decent longevity.
