Heaviest Song Ever!

[MacMoney]

Early Black Sabbath and the doom bands with heavy Sabbath influences (Saint Vitus, Reverend Bizarre etc.)

 

[Ronnie.B]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or God Of Emptiness

Well...i would have to say the entire album of DYING FETUS-Killing On Adrenaline is so fucking heavy and also brutal.It has it all.Speed,Crushing mid-sections(heavy as fuck).And i have ISIS doing a GODFLESH cover which is just monolithicly HEAVY.Put it on a good sound system and your head will explode.
Mark my words.

It seems lots of people are giving different meanings to "heavy". I'd say heavy is well, heavy, kinda slow with ultra heavy crushing riffs, so for instance Metallica's Damage Inc. definitely is NOT heavy in that sense, it's fast, aggressive etc. (and good of course) but not heavy. Heavy Metallica songs are "To Live Is To Die", "Leper Messiah" and "Harvester Of Sorrow".

I'd say a song like Anathema's "Sweet Tears" is ultra heavy, so are more of their songs, like "Mine Is Yours To Drown In" or "They Die". My Dying Bride's "The Night He Died" is also very heavy.

Pretty damn heavy if you ask me

yea, that is a pretty heavy song!

and the new Meshuggah is VERY heavy! Type O Negative's World Coming Down album is also damn heavy.

also, the band MELVINS. one of the heaviest, sludgiest bands ever, if not the heaviest and sludgiest. just check out their album Bullhead, and you'll see what i mean.

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

children of bodom everytime i die is pretty heavy

 

[The Deathrace King]

Dying Fetus' 'Killing on Adrenaline' sucessfully combines the two common definitions of 'heavy' I've read in this topic.

 

[angel_xylon]

i'd say some of the heaviest songs, well the most technical heavy songs belong to dying fetus all the way baby.

 

[YouFoolWarrenIsDEAD]

"Heavyness" is such an ambigous word, but I'll give it a shot:
Underneath the Waves-Strapping Young Lad
Sewn Mouth Secrets-Soilent Green
Symptom of the Universe-Black Sabbath
Like This With the Devil-Entomed

There´s a difference between heavy and brutal. Like, Wind Of Horus with Nile, it´s more brutal than heavy. The new Meshuggah is heavy. Neurosis is heavy. Black Sabbath is heavy. Candlemass is heavy. Death metal isn´t heavy, it´s brutal.

i agree. i've never understood why people equate speed/brutality with heaviness. the heaviest music is generally very slow, like Cathedral for instance. the two heaviest albums i've heard are ISIS' Celestial and Neurosis' Times of Grace. i would venture to say that 'Glisten' and 'Gentle Time' by ISIS are the heaviest songs ever recorded.

That's that third track right? Yeah, that's definitely heavy.

I personally never equated heavy with slow. Slow can be, and is, heavy, but to me heaviness doesnt correllate with the meter. Slayer's heavy, and theyre fast, and St Vitus is heavy, and theyre slow. Heavy to me is a feeling, so its not easily narrowed down to a specific tempo.

"Heavy" Metal isnt slow in general. For the most part, Heavy Metal as a whole is nuttier than the other genres out there.

 

[-|-Suicide Rebellion-|-]

Just about any Black Sabbath song.

oh yea. Crowbar. Crowbar's heavy. and Eyehategod. NOLA sound is basically heavy

...*shakes her head*....


I you want heavy, go to doom. I doubt you'll find many bands
heavier than Earth and Sunn O))). Drone doom at its extremes.
Other options are of course a lot of the funeral doom bands,
such as Thergothon, Skepticism and early Funeral, Unholy and
Shape of Despair. Great combinations of heavy and slow as hell.

But of course.

I'm... just getting into doom, but by far, doom is by far the 'heaviest' metal.

Anything by Anorexia Nervosa.

 

[dill_the_devil]

I agree with MeaCulpa - listen to Earth's 'Seven Angels' through a decent sound system and feel the walls shake...

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

Oh I'm sure I could name a ton of 'em but I would have to say the title track of BlackWater Park by Opeth...Heavy as a herd of fuckin' elephants!
