sOiL



OR

Disturbed

Gah! There are too many ways to be heavy.

Blisteringly Heavy: Marduk
Grimly Heavy: Burzum
Death Heavy: GOOD Suffocation. All old, some new.
Tech Heavy: I hate to go against Meshuggah but I have to agree with Nile.
Riff Heavy: Black Sabbath
Doom Heavy: Disembowelment. SunnO))) is good too but a BIT ridiculous.
Epic Heavy: Vital Remains
Battle Heavy: Amon Amarth
Gore Heavy: Exhumed
Melancholy Heavy: Opeth
Beautiful Heavy: Jesu
LUDICROUS Heavy: Mortician

I could do this for days. I think I'm just going to stop here.

irish front- check these dudes out for real if you want something heavy
also trivium and job for a cowboy

I'm surprised I didn't see any Children of Bodom, I'd consider that pretty heavy..

Awesome! Thanks Sacreligion. This is good info. I almost forgot about the ultimate yeti-metal band, Mortician.

I may have missed a few posts and didnt see but I always thought that Dry Kill Logic was pretty heavy, Its good group to listen to when you running or doing some free weights workout!!

Check them out...Id you tube them to you but it has some questionable lyrics........Dry Kill Logic

Darker than the blackest of black times infinity.
Skull Crushing

My favorite Metal band right now is a draw between
Lamb of God
Chimaira
and Devildriver

I forgot to add this one to this thread.


Brutal Truth - Denial Of Existence

Has anyone mentioned Bachman Turner Overdrive?




I think they may have been the heaviest metal band ever. Not all of them were as stocky as Meatloaf, but there was only one of him, whereas there are four of these lumberjack-looking fellows.

just a thought.

i am going to have to go with motorhead on this one. i agree with intrepid. lemmy does indeed rock.

Although all of the bands ppl are saying are the hardest are all pretty badass in my book, id have to say i think one of the heaviest band of all time is HATEBREED. those guys #in rock live

All great suggestions, but there can be only one.


Is, was and will always be the heaviest band on the face of the entire freakin' Earth.


Slayer - Hell Awaits

I'm going to have to go with 36 crazyfists . Although they are *HEAVY* they are also incredibly talented. A good mix of brutally heavy music, but they can also me very melodic and poignant as well. Check them out.

Don't listen to a lot of metal these days, but these guys need more exposure...

Gojira

Their album From Mars to Sirius is about as heavy as I've ever listened to and in fact very listenable with intelligible lyrics and a thick, chunky sound.
Best part they are French and Eco-Conscious. Indeed. Whale songs mixed with draining doom-laden guitars. Seriously.

AC/DC LEGENDS OF ROCK.

Nice choices altough i think devil driver is a bit meh, still cant shake the coal chamber days.
I lol'd when i saw disturbed at the top of the page that was good for a laugh.
You know what i hate most about metal?How everyone comes up with so many sub-genres of it.So dopey its like nearly every band is its own genre of metal who the hell thinks that shizz up?Its ridiculous.Theres a good example a few posts up^.

A friend gave me The Red shore the other day haven't given it a good listen yet but it seems ok.

Mortician takes the cake for me:



Even though they're a pretty crap band, holy crap, can't deny that heaviness. It's exaggerated really.

Lair of the minotaur.
