Who puts the HEAVY in heavy metal?

What band puts out the heaviest metal you know? A band that just sounds so heavy. You ever listen to a song or band and say now that's heavy?

Black Sabbath, Buffalo, Trouble, Tad, King's X and Kyuss are definately the 'heaviest' metal bands i've ever heard.

Sabbath. "Sweet Leaf" is one of the heaviest songs I've ever heard.

depends on your definition of "heavy". i'd say Morbid Angel & Celtic Frost.

Pantera
Crowbar

For shear heaviness: Electric Wizard

I mean the guitar is just so heavy like Metallica's The Thing that Should not Be, Pro-Pain's The Beast is Back now thats heavy to me..

I always thought the intro to Infectious Grooves's "Monster Skank" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhLOz-Buo2E) was one of the heaviest riffs I've ever heard. Too bad the rest of the song is nothing like that first 20 seconds or so.

Solitude Aeturnus's "9th Day: Awakening" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9n68bp_wj4) has a ridiculously heavy riff. "Black Castle" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7h9-OZheqY) is another.

And then there's Machine Head's "Davidian."



If I was a boxer, a MMA fighter, or something like that, this song would be my intro. So damn heavy.

When it comes to Machine Head the song i think of which is also off of BME is A Thousand Lies.. Both of them are so heavy..

Right off the top of my head I would say Runemagick.

"Ancient Incantations" is one of the "Heaviest" songs I have heard.

Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather
Judas Priest - Stained Class

I remember hearing these two album in 1980 and my jaw hitting the floor. I loved heavy music already, but this was HEAVY!

That would be Morbid Angel or Napalm Death, weight wise it doesnot get heavier than Leslie West of Mountain, he weighed three hundred pounds and had one of the sweetest guitar tones back in the day.

Machine Head, Lamb of God and Pantera.

CROWBAR
Acid Bath
Clutch
Amon Amarth

Crowbar, Pantera, Death, Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Testament, 'tallica, the list is endless... but it depends what you mean by heavy... Heavy as in the music, or heavy as in the sound/production of the music....

Who put the bomp in the bomp-de-bomp-de-bomp?

Who wrote the book of love?

Dark Angel

Especially Time Does Not Heal.So much riffing going on

Most of the bands I would have mentioned have already been mentioned...but it's a fun thread to read!

Actually...Corrosion Of Conformity belongs in there (post-Blind era).

Heaviest guitar tones ever belong to Tony Iommi, Josh Homme, Wino and Tom G. Warrior.

The sheer power of the Master Of Reality record has yet to be topped by anyone...although my personal song pick would be Into The Void.

Anybody who makes you want to bang your head and kill posers or little animals.

Easily Black Sabbath.

Mayhem.

Mayhem are so heavy and evil, on their spare time they burn down churches, murder fellow bandmates and watch Cookie Monster in order to perfect their vocal skills.

Black Sabbath
Grave
Dismember
Kyuss
Candlemass
