Probably not THE heaviest I've ever heard but one of my favourites at the moment:

Amon - Amoung Us @youtube

 

[BassBrass]

Anything by Swans

I was working one morning in a restaurant in Harvard Square in about 1984, this came over the college radio station I had on Swans- Right Wrong - YouTube Never heard anything like it before.
I went out later that day and found the album "Filth" at the Coop...became Gira fan for life. Most Beautiful performance I ever heard was Gira's later band incarnation, Angels of Light at the Middle East downstairs sometime in the late 90s.

Soundgarden- Gun

 

[Mayers]

To me in metal we have some varieties of heavy.

Very slow atmospheric song :
Pantheist - Don`t Mourn - YouTube

Or if you can stand cookie monster vocal Necrophagist, Vital Remains, Decapitated, Venom, Gorgoroth have many very heavy song.

 

[MegaSwing]

'Love Rears Its Ugly Head' by Living Colour

'Fencewalk' by Mandrill

 

[J-Lo]

Eyes of the South by Down

Down - Eyes Of The South (NOLA) - YouTube

 

[NoiseNinja]

This is what pop's up in my mind.

Crowbar - Existence is Punishment - YouTube

 

[jpTron]

Melvins - Boris
The Melvins- Boris - YouTube

 

[David Jayne]

Maybe not the heaviest thing I've ever heard, but definitely the heaviest thing I've ever performed on(shameless plug):

David Powers - Breaking Down - YouTube

 

[Gaius46]

If by heavy you mean despondent the first song that always comes to my mind is Since I've Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin.

The lyrics and music scream dispair and Jimmy Page plays probably the most emotional solo of his career.

I love listening to them, especially around people I just met. I never imagined in a million years that Swans would be on any radio station in this galaxy.

There are softer parts that don't grab me, but when the whole band starts pounding out that simple little riff (especially towards the end), the universe gains weight.

I would've gone with Prince or Rocketskates if we're gonna use the Deftones.

Melvins - Boris

Ahh...how could I forget!

Mastodon turned me on to the song "The Bit" and both versions are incredibly heavy!

The Melvins are one of the best bands EVER
