Need recommendations - looking for D standard - tight, punchy, aggressive/metallic

So yeah...I need some strings that are very metallic sounding, obviously heavier gauge for the drop tuning and will keep a decent punch at that tuning.

I'm thinking about the Robert Trujillo strings but I don't know if they make them in heavy gauge. Can anyone recommend me some strings?

I've tried looking around online but no one really gives accurate descriptions (in my eyes)
thanks for the help.
 
I used a GHS Boomers set in .50-.110 for D standard (DGCF) and it met all the sound qualifications you named. Even down tuned the strings remained very high tensioned. Probably even more metallic and clanky than you need.

i'm actually using this set right now...not even close to metallic and clanky as i want.
i need pure stainless steel strings, not nickel coated
