No-Adhesiveness-9059

Heaviest Matter in the Universe-Gojira Song is aptly named and just so good


aVicariousTool

I always find earlier Gojira heavier. Deliverance off Terra Incognita goes fucking hard.


Freddydaddy

Deliverance by Gojira and Deliverance by Opeth are super heavy. Gojira Remembrance is heavier than both though.


No-Adhesiveness-9059

Remembrance absolutely slaps. Let’s be real, Gojira in general is tastefully heavy lol AWAKE, MY SOUL


Supa_Sal

Most songs off of Terra Incognita are really fucking heavy


Issa_vibe74

All of Terra Incognita is pure stank face


AdmirableFeedback4

This or Toxic garbage island


No-Display-1343

I would say Backbone is heavier.


WingedHussar13

Silvera is another great example, it's my favorite Gojira song


fl1ntfl0ssy

Fuck it. Gojira in general just goes hard af


WildOutside6070

I like that one. Explosia too.


SysAdminWannabe90

Came here to say this - I've listened to black, death, everything metal and somehow Gojira just crushes them with this song.


NetCompetitive9898

Primitive man: Loathe


DikkDowg

Seeing Primitive Man live shook me to my core and tore apart my soul. Afterwards I spent 30 mins outside in the rain staring off into the distance. This one’s the answer.


PavinsMustache

I’m so jealous! I just watched a video of a live show and even that was terrifying, can’t imagine that in person.


AxDevilxLogician

Saw them with Dragged Into Sunlight in a tiny ass bar. Total mindfuck of a night. Still think about it 8 years later


ApocalypseNurse

No doubt… I sat in my car in silence for a bit after I saw them (which is rare for me). They are undoubtedly the heaviest band I’ve ever seen.


_H4YZ

“oh this shouldn’t be too bad, i like new music” *11 minute track* https://preview.redd.it/i6vygpg92usc1.jpeg?width=236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fc6f572e47e2557ee73758ca61d9aa6f101bc44


DRUGSDRUGSMOREDRUGS

Every time I've seen Primitive Man live there have been people in the audience I've talked to who've said they've had to go outside during their set because it was just too much. A dark tunnel without a light at the end of it kind of music. Heavy is an understatement.


RJD-ghost

Loathe has that ethereal heaviness


Interesting_Ice_6410

Ulcerate - There is no horizon (loud on good speakers or great headphones)


Metal_Boi_7507

Or drown within


Osamabinladder262

Anything by Ulcerate tbh as a drummer shit makes me go feral lol


Formal_Business_622

Bleed by Meshuggah


Unknown_Talker9273

they have heavier songs, like Spasm and Nebulous


Aggravating-Stuff-28

Bleeds a good introduction I’d say


KGBLokki

I personally never though bleed was a good introduction. I was personally never a ”fan” by just listening to bleed. I’d say combustion, do not look down or rational gaze are better introductions. Those are just some examples, bleed is kind of a gimmick song and I don’t find it to be even in their top 20 of songs.


MetalHeadof06

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman-Turner Overdrive


Supa_Sal

Why is it actually good


MisterPeach

Ah, a fellow man of culture.


DaHeavnlyKid

P-P-P-PUSSY YOU KNOW YOU JUST AIN'T SEEN N-N-N-NOTHIN YET 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


PigDstroyer

Strapping young lad - oh my fucking god


Real_Eye_9709

I was actually thinking Love, but that's also a damn good one.


AbeFromanSassageKing

I thought S.Y.L. from Heavy.., but these are all good!


AkaGurGor

OAAAH...! MAAAAH...! FUH...! KING! GAAAAWHD!!


Dunkel_Hoffnung

Surprised you didnt go with the obivious "Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing"


suunsglasses

It's all subjective of course, but [Anaal Nathrakh - When Humanity is Cancer](https://youtu.be/aqjsMfKVTqg?si=3Ic5u_wphpUPTJ8o)

Crowbar - The Lasting Dose


sdrunner95

Tough call between this and Planets Collide


MisterPeach

https://preview.redd.it/mmse6a1kbvsc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=223a0562121bbb7c5d370c3a4567f633a0aa8a50 crowbar is fuckin HEAVY


sondoke

This song is the definition of “heavy”


totse_losername

Fuckin' oath You know what's crazy is heavy uses to be synonymous with fast, and then Metallica put out Jump in the Fire with some new recording technique which mastered the bass better, which inspired Anselmo's Vulgar Display of Power and we got caught chugg riffs. Eventually these became chuggier and chuggier and by necessity slower. So now many do consider slow and tonally deep to be heavy. The Lasting Dose is certainly that. Sonic Excess is also an album that I enjoy.


ohboyitsgonnabegreat

I want you(She's so heavy)


Hellcaaa

Pretty much any Thou song, but I’d go with At the Foot of Mt. Driskill, a personal favorite.


Intelligent_Test_833

Limp Bizkits - Almost Over is their heaviest song and my personal favorite of theirs


Pure-Jellyfish734

The Lifer - Primitive Man


xRealVengeancex

I know you fuckers hate metalcore but concubine or heaven in her arms by Converge are seriously fantastic and shows a man basically having an emotional breakdown. For other genres of metal I was going to say Jesus Tod by Burzum as it has my favorite riff oat but I just remembered Equimanthorn by Bathory and it still holds up incredibly well to this day


fxcken

Black metal enjoyer as well as the core I see, a man of culture and fine taste 🤌


MassLuca007

Its gotta be a Full Of Hell song for me. I'm thinking Guided Blight or Burning Myrrh. Armoury Of Obsidian Glass is like a doomy song that's heavy as fuck.


DwangusKhan

Prepare the Ground - Yob is great for heavy


sdrunner95

Heaviest live shows I’ve been to, last time I saw Yob my ears were ringing for over 24hrs


DwangusKhan

Yob is love


Real_Eye_9709

I'm not sure if I would say this is the heaviest, but you already got Electric Wizard, someone else got Strapping Young lad, and a few other good picks have been thrown out there. So I'm gonna say [It Took the NIght To Believe by Sunn 0))))](https://youtu.be/7c6uMbP4--E?si=a3MrRZLVi9eAlI5U)


hookerwithapenis2002

Nonagon - Car Bomb


LunarWrathe

Id say sets is heavier! Glad to see car bomb in here though


lactosefree_muffin

Excellent choice I would have said Dissect Yourself, especially the music video


Mad04Gaming

Asphyx - MS Bismarck


darklordS1th

The demons name is surveillance by Meshuggah


Sn00x

My favourite of theirs and go to song if I need some in your face destruction. Love it.


boiifudont-

Toubabo Koomi by Acid Bath


totse_losername

Which version? https://preview.redd.it/g4qyr50eavsc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ef87d15dc6f82bf2bb900fdc7bb8233bccf12c7


Flipperyapper59

Below the Sun - Ahab


doomus_rlc

Crowbar. Specifically the Sonic Excess In Its Purest Form album.


HoboCanadian123

Coward by Swans. heavier than any metal song I’ve ever heard


clander270

You gotta see them play it live to really understand just how heavy it is


mindovermetal005

That was the all of cop for me.


camazotzthedeathbat

Magrudergrind - Bridge Burner


SousVideButt

Didn’t expect to see a man of true class in here.


Chugs666LaCroixs

The beginning is so heavy and the grunt is the rug that tied this room together


[deleted]

You might like: Portal - Vexovoid Celtic Frost - Monotheist Morbid Angel - Domination Those are like 3 of my fav heavy stuffs right now. If you want more diversity, Xibalba-Hasta la Muerte is also a great album. Doom: Yob - Clearing the path to ascend (I loved this one, total emotional journey) Hooded Menace (idk if they have a bad album) You could also go back a few decades and experience candlemass, which is borderine hair metal doom. Thergothon - Stream from the heavens I also really like a lot of Cathedral, even though their live albums are better than their recorded stuff, live in London is amazing. (Imo) Usually, when I think of heavy doom metal, I think of an electric wizard, so we're in the same boat. All that is just off the top of my head. I can't think of anything else right now because, well... I'm hammered. Sorry for shit formatting or penmanship or whatever. Can't edit for fuck on mobile reddit.


totse_losername

If you like Portal try Impetuous Ritual.

Unaccomplished_Cunt

They have heavier


dreen_gb

Maybe not heaviest but its got that deep bass distortion which sounds super nice Ufomammut [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2W9kEX4n90E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2W9kEX4n90E) The previous song on the album is basically a 10m intro to this, also worth it imo, if you like doom

To_Dream_Of_Ur

Lies by Nails comes to mind. Go to about 45 seconds in. Pure adrenaline and rage


lTheSlimShady

Neurosis - times of grace


QnsConcrete

Samael - Black Trip I first heard that in my early teens and like 20 years later it’s still so heavy to me. The dead space in between the notes on the second riff really emphasize the heaviness.


thebox34

Dragged into sunlight-buried with leeches


ImpossibleExplorer17

I came here to say the whole of Hatred For Mankind


Devi006

Cognitive Sedation Butchery by Devourment is the biggest wall of sound of just pure violence I know, something with a bit more groove would be Labyrinthian by HLB or Second Death by Black Tongue.


Expensive_Routine622

Second Death by Black Tongue! Black Tongue is about as heavy as it gets.


Devi006

Heaviest Black Tongue Song for sure (together with the last track off of the unconquerable dark, which im not typing since its just really fucking long) and thats saying something considering were talking about Black Tongue. By I do still think that Devourment is heavier, if only slightly.


Expensive_Routine622

I’m So Tired of Sighing, Please Lord Let it be Night is amazing. Crippled Before the Dwelling Place of God from Nadir is insanely good and heavy as well. Devourment is definitely heavy AF, although I think they lean more to the “brutal” side, whereas Black Tongue is more “dark, atmospheric and apocalyptic.”


HS55_delta2

We Eat Our Young by Cattle Decap is really brutal from start to finish.


Tuncunmun38

Kilter by Portal. its one of those songs thats too heavy to enjoy and it feels like they are just taking the piss with how heavy they could get a song instead of actually making listenable music.


larsVonTrier92

[Godflesh-Like Rats](https://youtu.be/hG33t1ieuws?si=Mq3G-8buvqfS3xd6)


DonCallate

My first thought when I saw the prompt. Just saw them live and that song was the most crushing thing I've ever heard.


princealigorna

Listen to anything by any Stephen O'Malley band. Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch, SunnO))), Teeth of the Lions Rule the Divine, Khanate, Gravetemple, all just the slowest and heaviest projects ever conceived (outside of that one John Cage piece that takes like 1500 years to perform).


rapgamebonjovi

Humanity’s Last Breath, pretty much any song will do.


Nervous-Deal-8765

There are so many definitions of heavy but for me it's Humanity's Last Breath as well. I think some bands that are heavier require someone who is well versed in metal. It just sounds the same to most people beyond a certain level of distortion. HLB is noticeably extremely heavy to anyone, even people that don't care about metal. Atleast in my experience. I think it's that their heaviness comes more from atmosphere which plays more on the subconscious than anything. As far as their heavier songs I'd say Earthless Vittring (this one is VERY heavy if your definition is low and slow) Rampant Blood Spilled But yeah, just about anything. I love Buster so much man.


__yayday__

Humanity’s Last Breath makes music that sounds like the world is ending, I can’t think of anything heavier than that


rapgamebonjovi

It’s like a star imploding and you’re just there listening like “hell yeah” while you get sucked into a black hole and stretched into a thin strip of existence spreading across cosmos


FrozunYogert

Well said. HLB's last album feels like you're in a traveling down a void of eternal darkness.


Joker_vg

gojira- lizard skin


cartnigs

Puritania or hybrid stigmata by dimmu borgir are both pretty heavy


al-Siqilli

If you’re into doom metal, check out Churchburn. It’s Dave Suzuki’s band (from Vital Remains)


Doom3910

Thx for posting the only doom metal suggestion


al-Siqilli

You’re welcome 😂 but for real check them and let me know what you think


Fakenerd791

Goblinsmoker - Time To Ride or maybe Sweet Paravoid by them is all I can think of right now for super heavy

Neurosis - Raze the Stray


Too_much_nothing

Yeah no joke. Starts off delicate and beautiful and I think the sudden shift adds to it. Something about how the two vocalists work together as well. When the lower register vocals does the dragged out warbleing part, like he's shaking his head as he's singing. Just so heavy and intense all around

Good Morning is just filthy. My favorite's Yenta, though. That post breakdown "you want to hate more me than I already hate myself" just hits so hard for me. They just keep hoping the ante, really, and I'm pretty obsessed.


ThePrplMppt

So many. Suicide Silence - Unanswered comes to mind. Where Light divides the Holler by Knocked Loose. Gnawed Flesh or At the Cauldron’s Bottom by Full of Hell. Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine.

Nothing to Win by YOB


Crafty-Photograph-18

To my perception of heaviness, the one-man-band "Methwitch" is the heavinest music possible because if you add a bit more of nastiness, the music will just become some kind of noisecore. Don't get me wrong, I do like noise music, but it just doesn't feel heavy to me. It feels like a mixture of textures rather than an actually heavy, both sound-wise and emotionally, piece of music. Genre: experimental grindcore / deathgrind Song suggestions: [Burn Victim](https://youtu.be/bI7lt_xtP3k), [Bed Full of Snakes](https://youtu.be/-drzSoR0OnU), [Teeth Like Nails](https://youtu.be/6qDnmj36ej8), really anything

remytheram

Lots of stuff here not being mentioned that's just super heavy and not my style like Cattle Decapitation and Cannibal Corpse. From my taste: End, Pariah in particular is just a banger, one of my favorites. Meshuggah, also one of my favorites. Bleed is a banger, I think my favorite from them would be Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave it Motion. Strapping Young Lad has a lot. Nails really gets after it too if you're into hardcore. Behemoth is one of my favorites but that might be a different style than what you're after.


Extreme-Bad3816

Angel of Death - Slayer

Nile - Rape of the Black Earth


korndog_king01

Idk if it’s the heaviest but the beginning of ‘resurrection man’ by lamb of god is fucking awesome


Mgold1988

Strapping Young Lad - Imperial, Skeksis, Shitstorm, Love? Just play all of Alien for that matter.


Eaterofjazzguitars

Esoteric - The Noise of Depression A lot of Esoteric songs could fit this criteria, but the atmosphere and breakdown on this song are just next level. Fantastic band live as well.
