heaviest band ever

[millsbass5]

The heaviest ever,to me:

 

[KhioL]

The Dillinger Escape plan : proof that you can sound super heavy without downtuning .

[AndrewMagrini]

Deathklok is pretty killer.

+1

 

[Bastard]

Brujeria
Deicide
Grave-Souless(not fast but definatley brutal)
+1 to SYL

:scowl: I really don't like crapping on peoples opinions on music. but exhibit A:

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.

I REALLY hope you were joking.

Exhibit B: Why are people naming nu-metal and metalcore bands when you know that there are entire genres of music that are heavier and faster then they.

Not saying any of the bands named were bad, but at least try to keep to the OP. Since everyone named meshuggah and strapping young lad and Pantera and suffocation, im gonna drop ORIGIN, Soreption, and good old Cannibal Corpse (gotta stick to your roots). Keep this thread brutal please

Portal- -not that heavy but its a pinnacle in both race and culture.

Is that a clock on his head.

 

[nad]

Other than Black Sabbath, I'd say Electric Wizard, Ufomammut, and Reverend Bizarre.

 

[Din Of Win]

Hell yeah it's a clock... cause you know what time it is!!


I'm so stoaked, Portal just confirmed they are playing MDF2010!!! (Maryland Death Fest)!!

 

[Shawman]

Heaviest? Mastodon throws it down right and proper..... But, of the 100's of bands I've seen perform live, I've *NEVER* seen anyone *MOVE* an audience like Flogging Molly. They're not a particularly heavy band in the "metal" sense of the word, but in terms of joyful noise and mayhem, they're untouchable.

i've been saying this since i saw them in 2004 ( ithink it was '04)
the guy who i was with was taken into A&E with kidney stones as a result
good times had by all

just to throw another option in here too

Lots of newer heavy stuff in this thread, but as some others have mentioned, it doesn't get any more "old school" heavy than the original Black Sabbath lineup. In the early 70's, a live performance of Sweet Leaf could suck the breath out of you.

For the win.

...I still stand by my nod to Corrupted though...

"There is no doom... Only Corrupted"

 

[timber22]

Kind Sir,

I see your Sweet Leaf, and raise you a Black Sabbath:

Well played, Mr. Din

 

[Colonel_Claypoo]

NILE - cast down the heretic is still the heaviest thing i could think of.

 

[RexNFX79]

Pantera is the heaviest band that still holds a groove. IMO.

 

[alapantera]

Gojira

Extol

Chimaira

Hatesphere

 

[capnhank]

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, you are forgetting the all-time masters of heaviosity (after early Sabbath, of course) - The friggin' Melvins!




Enjoy!

 

[J. Crawford]

Well, a Led Zeppelin would be mighty heavy.. As would a caged elephant, thus Cage The Elephant.

I think an Incubus would be quite heavy, as would the entire Parliament.

IMO.

 

[Hector_G]

Someone beat me to Dillinger Escape Plan. That's stuff is a wall of hell coming at you. 43% Burnt. That is heavy.

And...

I can't believe NO ONE has mentioned this band...
Someone came close by naming Jesu on the list (same frontman)
But...

GODFLESH

Their bass tone is that akin to a building being demolished.

Exactly. I can only imagine it's just people who are still in a "bubblegum pop" phase of their life, who are recommending those lightweight teen angst bands; and people who wouldn't know a heavy bone-crushing groove if it sat on them, who are recommending artsy noise acts.

If you get a chance to see High on Fire live, do it. HEAVY. FAST. BRUTAL.
