heaviest band ever

Hatebreed has always made me want to go smash things. They're not the heaviest or fastest band but their mix of Metal and Hardcore comes across as very aggressive and in your face. Such a fun band to see live.
I really find that the faster it is the less heavy is sounds and feels to me. Slower more articulated songs just seem to push through you rather than run past really quickly.

Absolutely /thread. The Locust makes Mushugga look like an R+B outfit, without resorting to the machoism prevelant in so much heavy music these days.
Meshuggah
Strapping Young Lad (though I think they broke up...)
And I heard Fear Factory has been putting on a pretty heavy show on their current tour with Megadeth and Slayer.

Must... not... let... music snobbery... overtake..."Heavy" is such a subjective term. I suppose that's why there are so many different answers on here. "Heavy" means a lot of things to a lot of people... riff-wise, loudness, volume, speed, dirt, etc etc etc
I suppose if i HAD to give ONE answer pertaining to my OWN deffinition of "Heavy", i would say:
Corrupted
PS: I was talking about this same subject with a friend yesterday and we both agree that Soundgarden is one hell of a heavy band that was never really looked at and appriciated in that way... listen to Jesus Christ Pose and TELL me later awesome bands like Botch didn't listen to Soundgarden.
electric wizard or mouth of the architect
and all of you saying the locust, my god theyre about as UNheavy as it gets. keyboards and noise doesnt equal heavy. theyre a cool band, but theyre not heavy or trying to be.

Please do no use the term nu-metal to describe ABR, nor should you use it to describe any of the other you listed. ABR is Metalcore, melodic metal.
Yes I am being picky, but nu-metal is Korn, Slipknot, and Distrubed. ABR, White Chapel, In Flames, etc are all far from that. If you mean NEW metal, then I have no problems with that description as they have come out in the past few years.
strapping are indeed awesome!
especialy the Alien album.
in terms of good ol fashioned BOOM heavy,
Gojira!
not really fast, but it is the heaviness:
