The heaviest albums of all time

[Profanity]

As far as something just fucking heavy that really hasn't been mentioned I think Crowbar's Time Heals Nothing is a fine example...just pure slow sludged out heavy metal.

Crowbar's - Equilibrium is heavier than that one.

There is a big difference between heavy and brutal. Death or thrash metal is not necesserarily heavy. For example; Reign In Blood isn't very heavy, but instead brutal. Heavy shit:

Black Sabbath
Candlemass
Cathedral
Neurosis
Cult Of Luna
Unearthly Trance
Trouble
St Vitus
Electric Wizard
Crowbar
Hatebreed
Yob
Khanate

 

[Psychonaut]

My opinion of heavy may differ from others but here's some of my heaviest right off the top of my head:

Asphyx - The Rack
Obituary - The End Complete
Blood Red Throne - Affiliated With The Suffering
Napalm Death - Fear, Emptiness, Despair
Unleashed - Shadows In The Deep
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Nile - Amongst The Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
Hypocrisy - Abducted
Bolt Thrower - Honour Valour Pride
Carcass - Reek Of Putrification
The Crown - Deathrace King
Belphegor - Lucifer Incestus


You could even throw a little BM in here too:

Hecate Enthroned - Dark Requiems and Unsilent Massacre
Mystic Circle - Infernal Satanic Verses
Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk or Nightwing
Cradle Of Filth - Vempire or Dark Faerietales In Phallustein

 

[_SLAYERIZED_]

SODOM - IN THE SIGN OF EVIL


most evil record ever and true and pure metal through and through

What is the difference for you between heavy and brutal? Personally I think brutality and heaviness go together.

I bought Entombed-Entombed today which is a combination of 90's Entombed singles and ep's.

I have never heard any album as heavy as this one.

What some people find heavy blows my mind. But I guess what makes something heavy to people is all diff and everyone is going to have opinions so fuck it.

Heavy music for me often tend to be slow music. Like the bands I mentioned. A fast band like Cryptopsy isn't heavy, it's brutal.

Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve
Meshuggah - Chaosphere


There is no heavier. The riffs are crushing... absolutely no "subtle melody" to them, just pure madness. The vocals make them that much more insane. These albums ARE death to your ears... this is the definition of heavy. The only emotion seen here is anger...

I have that CD too. The thing is, some songs are heavier than others, since it is indeed basically a compilation of various material of theirs up to that point. IMO Left Hand Path and Clandestine are much heavier than any of their other albums.
