The heaviest album

[Shamateur]

Vote for one with reasons of yours.

Penetralia or Virus would get my vote. Penetralia for just being more straight death metal and having more blasts, and Virus for having some brutal songs like Craving for Another Killing and Blooddrenched.

 

[Shamateur]

My vote is for "The Final Chapter".
Once upon a time it has kicked my ass... and still kicking.
The lowest sound of guitars, the deepest growl I have ever heard, all songs are good composed. An excelent work on my oppinion. Like most of others...

That would be The Fourth Dimension

 

[Rotten Flesh]

Penetralia & Osculum Obscenum

no doubt these two are the heaviest and most brutal.

virus
depends on how you interpret 'heavy'

low guitar sounds, growling
or rather
blastbeats, fast riffs etc.

 

[lucky999]

the final chapter album is quite heavy... if you mean rather melodies and more low guitar sounds

the first albums sounds more like death less like melodic death...
therefore they sounds also very heavy though

but for me its still the fourth dimension album!

I ended up voting for Penetralia once the poll was created. It has deeper vocals, less melody, and more "blasting" from Lars.

PENETRALIA!!!!!!! I remember back in the day reading from the old Relapse Records 2 page catalog. "Forget Deicide, this fucking kills!! Essential!!!"

Penetralia and Osculum Obscenum are the heaviest musically and vocally, but not the best albums.

 

[Zephyrus]

If by heavy you mean brutal, I voted Virus purely for the drums.

 

[cookiecutter]

Correct.

 

[Keltoi]

I would have to say Virus. Probably because of the drumming but also because the whole album is just fast and furious for the most part.

 

[Darkstone]

I'd go with Virus, hevay as fuck this album is!

 

[Sickman]

I'd have to go with The Final Chapter. From start to finish, this album just seems to be their deepest and darkest album. The guitars have a nice thick quality to them as well. And Peter's vocals here are some of the best he's done.

But I honestly think the "heaviest" album they have is the live one, Hypocrisy Destroys Wacken. I listen to a few songs off it each day and I am constantly blown away by how great it sounds. Peter's vocals are even better on this live album than on any of the studio albums. And the mix is perfect. If this album was in the poll, I would have voted for it. Just listen to the live version of "The Final Chapter." Doesn't get much heavier than that.

 

[bonesnjoints]

I gotta go for Virus. This album pretty much defines what heavy music is to me.

 

[The Bringer]

Virus is... loud but not nessecarily heavy. I think Final Chapter is the "heaviest".

 

[Dantheman]

I'd have to go with "The Fourth Dimension" it's so crushing "The black forets" sounds soooo doom at the beggining.
