Heaviest metal band you listen to?

[zanzibar]

The heaviest band I listen to would probably be Melvins, but it's a different kind of heavy.  It's loaded, slow, thick, sludgey.  The angry kind of kill-kill-kill heavy would probably lead me to agoraphobic nosebleed.  Even though pig destroyer is the same guy only with a full band compliment, nosebleed's stuff just seems more raw and aggressive.  I've listened to a lot of black metal a la Emperor, but it just doesn't evoke the same of emotion from me.

Add names to the list.  I'll definately check out any bands I haven't already been exposed to.

Out of my personal experience I would say Vader, even though I am pretty sure that it aint the "Heaviest Metal Band" in existence, I simply didn't listen to many Black/Death Bands, yet.

Vader - Warlords

That's not bad.  I just had to turn it up to get the full effect.

For what it's worth, the heaviest band I listen to is probably Every Time I Die.  Mostly because the lead singer is an extremely cool person (he taught English before the band).

...obviously, I'm not really into the "heavy" thing..more into "fast" music.

[zanzibar]

Can I recomend an album to you Kiern?  "It's me, god" by Breach.  It might be hard to find, but you might like it if you're into every time I die.

edit:  I was actually able to find part of one of their songs being hosted somewhere.  link

"Heaviest" bands I listen to are probably Nile, Decapitated, Deicide, Usipian and the like. In Battle too, for the craziest double bass drumming ever. Brutal death metal ftw!

PS: Hardcore just plain sucks.

Hmmm... I don't like heavy metal, or "heavy music" generally, but there is one exception - Rammstein. They have their own unique sound, probably thanks to their vocalist. Formally they play industrial rock (?), nevertheless for me it is heavy metal - their music is the heaviest one I ever listened to of my own free will.

Thomas the Tank Engine opening theme song :|

Probably not what Zanzibar is after, but it /is/ the heaviest thing I listen to.

If you like Rammstein and industrial hardcore music you might want to check out Violent Work of Art if you don't already know them.  If you go to http://violentworkofart.com/php/modules.php?name=Downloads , it will ask you to register an account, then you can revisit the link and download some of their stuff.

These links will work even if you don't have an account:

Hmmm heaviest I listen to, probably Strapping Young Lad, Deicide, Thus Defiled, Job For A Cowboy, Napalm Death and Candlemas, oh yeah and Cannibal Corpse, nearly forgot them.

[ThomPhoenix]

Dalai Lama ftw
^^ Rammstein.
The song is nice because it's based on a story by Nietzsche.

Ontopic:
I don't really listen much to heavy bands these days.
Heaviest stuff I listen(ed) to must be Papa Roach and System of a Down, though they aren't really metal
I mostly listen to:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The White Stripes
Muse
Tenacious D (hehe)
Skin (only some)
Good Charlotte
Green Day

But mostly The Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're just good

[Kymizer]
