What is the heaviest music you know of?

I guess it would have to be Cannibal Corpse for me. That is about as heavy as I have gotten.

 

Strapping Young Lad.

 

My musical tastes are more jazz/progrock/psychedelic-oriented but there´s a place in my heart for Meshuggah. My #1 metal band is Mastodon but ´Shuggah is the heaviest for sure.

 

Rammstein - Du Hast POLKA VERSION (funny) - YouTube

 

Wagner

 

Sirius Liquid Metal plays all kinds of ridiculously heavy stuff. So heavy it`s unlistenable, if you ask me.

 

Meshuggah, hands down. Jonas Brothers are a close 2nd.

 

I'm a huge Machine Head fan, so I'll say Barbara Streisand.

 

The heaviest music that I actually RESPECT,and consider actual music? Cannibal Corpse. Sure there's 'heavier' stuff out there. But,it's utter crap to my ears.

 

Check out Volumes, you want heavy you say?

 

I'm sure there are about a million other bands that do sludge, doom, and even punk that many would consider heavier...

The two that stand out for me are:

Cursed - Friends In The Music Business - YouTube

Converge - Plagues - YouTube

 

I don't know if it's really considered too heavy. But my favorite band hands down is Veil of Maya. Nothing gives me more of an eargasm. There was a local band that was brutal called I Shot the Sheriff. They broke up a while ago. But they sounded so pro.

The Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton [Irony Is A Dead Scene] 03. When Good Dogs Do Bad Things - YouTube

 

Drone Doom... Just listen to some Sunn O))). It`s really boring usually but heavy as fudge.

 

Meshuggah. Absolutely one of my favorite bands.
Behemoth comes in a close second.
Whitechapel
Suicide Silence


Behemoth - At The Left Hand Ov God (live @ Summerbreeze 2008) - YouTube

 

Mozart (Requiem in D minor), Joni Mitchell (Blue album), Howlin Wolf (Evil, Fourty-Four etc.), Zappa (The Torture Never Stops), Billie Holliday (Strange Fruit), Vaughn Williams (
A Lark Ascending), and that piano piece by the guy in the death camps (WWII), that I heard once on radio and has never left that tiny place in the back of my brain where sadness goes to die.

 

1968's debut album by the very first true Metal Band, Blue Cheer
The genre was not yet named 'Metal' and was referred to as Acid Rock
Blue Cheer - Out of Focus

The double lead solo at 2:01 would make anybody think, "They had to be on acid"
These guys were playing through Marshal stacks with the volume knobs on "11"
long before Spinal Tap

They singlehandedly developed the cottage industry of Hearing Aid stores for
Baby Boomers

 

Yea, bands like Sunn O))) are a really great idea, I lke and respect their thing- it's just unlistenable for me.

 

Speaking of fudge.... How about some "Fudge Tunnel" on a quiet Saturday afternoon!.
