heaviest band

[necro_jesus]

what is the heaviest band you know of?
i would probably have to say the heaviest band i know,is BEHEMOTH

 

[no country for old wainds]

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Sleep, and then Electric Wizard.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

In terms of guitar tone and riffwork: Dark Angel and Exhorder.

In terms of tone/distortion, production: Probably most drone doom bands...Sunn O))), despite my disliking of them, are heavy as all hell by these terms. As are Electric Wizard and many others.

Cerefuckingmonium.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Depends on ur definition of heavy... to me My Dying Bride is quite Heavy.. so is Black Sabbath the originators.... and on and on...

 

[Donnie Darko]

Black Sabbath

 

[Christie_fell]

[Barking Pumpkin]

as the heaviest band? i think not.

.

 

[The Grimace]

HALO or the Swans or the Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.




























Or Usher.

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

Black Sabbath

Not this shit again.

 

[AsModEe]

I would say Strapping Young Lad's City is the heaviest album I heard. Behemoth would come close.

 

[kmik]

Ceremonium is a good band but Sunn 0))) is obviously the heaviest I can think of (not that it makes them any good)

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Black Sabbath

For their time, yeah. But now, yeah, still pretty fucking heavy, but not the heaviest.

 

[Life Sucks]

Fleshcrawl
Infester
Mortal Decay
God Macabre
Molested
Drunkard
Suffocation
Torture Squad
early Entombed


to name some

Stuff like Fleshcrawl, early Demigod, Immolation, etc certainly applies.

I *almost* locked this for being redundant, I will the next - No more heaviest band threads please.

 

[Life Sucks]

Not this shit again.

Yeah, I really don't see how anyone can say that Black Sabbath is the heaviest band ever by today's standards. And the thing is, in every thread about the heaviest band, several people always claim that Black Sabbath is the heaviest. Sure, back in the early 1970s, no other band came close to being as heavy as they are, but nowadays, there are countless bands that are far heavier.

 

[Henrik Main]

Incantation or Disgorge.

 

[Naggamanteh]

Disgorge (USA) is a good call.

 

[Arrakis]

The Gathering era Testament


heavyness is all about the riffs, drums, vox. not the noise!
