Who are the heaviest metal band you've ever heard?

Mine are probably either Meshuggah or some band my friend let me listen to called Cold Hand of Christ. A song called "From The Gutter."

Deicide, Nile, Mortician, Hate Eternal, and Cannibal Corpse. These bands will change any doubts about who is the heaviest.

Heaviest as in powerful? Probably Khanate or Sunn 0. I don't particularly like them but it's pretty heavy, droney stuff.

-AC

Nile maybe.

the osmonds! kidding. i meant sabbath.

Any band in the genre of Grindcore, simply put.

Slipknot!

O.o

Slipknot are actually nothing compared to some bands.

Cannibal Corpse and Nile are damn heavy too.

Oh, and The Beatles. XD

probably Cannibal Corpse yes.I do like Metal,but not too Heavy...

I prefer melodic metal.

More classic metal like Iced Earth, some power and battle metal like Sonata Arctica and Dragonforce, some thrash like Anthrax or Slayer, and sometimes a bit of prog like Dream Theater never goes amiss.

Battle Metal? I thought I'd seen everything.

Dragonforce, if anything, are power metal.

-AC

Nile... he heaviest metal band i like

I know. So are Sonata Arctica.

Bands like Korpiklaani and Turisas are Battle Metal.

No, battle metal is non-existant.

Battle metal? Come on, the name labelling is getting dumb now.

-AC

Dont you know? A band is only good if you can place it in a pointless and obscure genre

A lot of people are confusing ''heavy''. Heavy is something you do in the studio, mixing the music to make the guitars sound much louder. Most of these bands listed are hard and aggressive, but in terms of ''heavy'' sound, Deftones self-titled album and Lateralus by Tool beat all of the above.

In regards to what you guys are getting at in this thread, I think some of Napalm Death's early work should be mentioned. Back when they'd record like 40 second songs of pure noise.

Tool and Deftones heavier than Nile? I think you're confusing the band with the river.

-AC

What about Mastodon?

I'm pretty sure there is such thing. Metal Hammer once released a comilation album which said "The best selection of battle metal tracks" on the front.

I could be wrong, but that's definitely what it said.

All of the bands that are mentioned are good... but what about RAMMSTEIN??? how could you leave out that German industrial metal techno band??!?! check them out-they''ll leave you with your answer...

Sorry about that. That was my brother. I hate heavy metal.

no offence.

Heh, no worries.

Rammstein are good, but not that heavy really. Pretty awesome though.

And there never will be with an attitude like that.

Wow! great topic going on here! but i bet that it would be better if I knew who half of these bands are. Are they British? Well personally I would have to say that Slipknot is not metal at least not since Subliminal Verses Vol. 3 came out. Metal well you got Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, and so on....

Classic Metal, anyways.

I can't really say Sabbath are heavy, compared to some of the modern stuff we have around now.

Well, besides grindcore, I'd say bands like Ajdath (Jordan), Benighted (France), and Nile (USA! USA! USA!) And I say Slipknot's still metal after Vol.3 Hell, in a few albums, if they add more solos, they may become considered tr00 metal!

Cannibal Corpse does not suck, you just don't like them. They have many, many fans worldwide, and are still making albums. They're doing something right, obviously. I despise Avril Lavigne and Evanesence, but I would be simple minded if I said that they suck. They obviously have a big fanbase, just like Cannibal Corpse, so, again, they are doing something right.

Stupid rationale.

It doesn't mean they're doing something "right", it means they're doing what is necessary to sell albums and gain fans. That doesn't make it "right", or carry any kind of accolade.

Having a fanbase doesn't make your band good, making good music does.

This doesn't apply to Cannibal Corpse, Avril Lavigne or Evanescence.

I hate that "They don't suck, you just don't like them." bs. I could say "They don't NOT suck, you just like them.". You might like them even though they suck. Did you not consider that possibility?

If you like them, you like them, but don't go around tell people they don't suck. They suck if I believe they suck, to me. Like they're good to you if you believe they are.

-AC

Cannibal Corpse does suck if you ask me; every death metal cliche rolled into one band. They obtain their fanbase primarily through shock value.

yeah i see it that way too, i'm sure some people love them for the music but i'm sure lots of their albums were bought because it pisses off parents.

Do you think the more you listen to something the less and less heavy it sounds. When i first started to Parkway Drive, it seemed as heavy as all get out, but the more i listen to it the less heavy it seems. Is it just familiarity?

Originally posted by Etrigan

Cannibal Corpse does NOT suck in any way, shape or form. I, personally, don't care to listen to them on a regular basis, but I think they're pretty damn good.

never mind him, he's hates people who have an opinion on something he does thats not the same as his. He does get it right from time to time though. Those bands have been doing something right, even if its not on the talent side of things.

Doing something right in terms of marketing, sure. When most music fans say a band sucks, they aren't talking about their marketing skills.

Job for a Cowboy played in my town, stayed at my mates afterwards... they went to this party but it got really really sketchy when some girl accused someone of raping her, so well all went back to my mates and stayed up til 7am watching tv and chatting with em, nice guys.

at the moment i cant stop listening to the tony danza tapdance extravaganza

Since when is heaviness more important than craftsmanship and execution. Half of those bands music is indecipherable and unaudible, IMO. Converge, to me, is noise, honestly. That of which I can't appreciate or admire. If they did live shows, like Dillinger Escape Plan, I'd imagine nothing but people standing around and trying to listen, because, like an art gallery showing, there's no emotion you can invest in it from what I could gather. Just stand around and take in the "art".

As far as Cannibal Corpse and death metal in general is concerned, they sell a band name, not their music, given it's so derivative. So, if you walk around saying you like Cannibal Corpse, or Anal **** or Cephalic Carnage, it supposedly lends to your death metal cred. Again, considering the formulaic nature of their music, you end up admiring the band name and not so muc hthe music.

The music isn't indecipherable, that's a ridiculous claim. Converge lyrics or vocals are indecipherable, sure, but then if you're looking for lyrics, you're in the wrong place. I don't care what he's singing about, or screaming about. I care about what him and the band are doing, and I like what they do.

If you have a trained ear you can quite clearly tell that as erratic as Converge and Dillinger get, there's always structure. I accept that Converge aren't to everyone's liking, but it annoys me when people start moaning that they can't hear the lyrics. Go look them up, read some poetry, do something other than focus on the lyrics and ignore the band.

That said, Kurt Ballou, Nate Newton and Ben Koller (Guitar, bass and drums respectively) are both rather good at what they do. They're no Buzzo/Lombardo, but they get reasonable amounts of credit where it matters for creativity. So when did craftsmanship come before creativity?

I love musicians who can play and play well, but I'll take Nirvana over Dream Theater.

Tabby stop being bitter, it's gonna get you nowhere.

I don't care what music she/he likes or doesn't like, it's a free world. You simply don't like the fact that I can back up everything I say, and neither do the people I reply to. Shit happens, right? Deal with it. Don't start making the ridiculous claim about me that I've refuted more times than I can even count. She can get Cannibal Corpse tattoos and think they're the most creative band on Earth if she wishes, I don't care.

As long as she accepts that preference is subjective. Talent wise, the aforementioned band don't have a great deal going for them, and that's not preference.

You can think what you want, there's a difference between that and trying to tell us that they're good as a fact. Preference is subjective, talent isn't.

Something they don't have much of, instrumentally. Important or not, that's true.

Stupid logic isn't it? Yes, move on.

If being a tool and a puppet are both desireable traits, to you, then stay away from trying to have discussions about art.

But I'm not looking for mindblowing lyrical content. A lot of the bands I follow, I'm not in for the lyrics, just their music. I'm in a pretty safe spot, listening to mostly hardcore, and while the lyrics and drive behind the music are similar, they've all got their signature sound. That said, I do need actual notes and sounds that I can latch onto.

As far as Converge and DEP, I'm sure there's structure, but I can;t find continuity. That's what's important to me and in the music I listen to, it's a must. Meshuggah is the exception to the rule, even my new found appreciation for Mastodon, given it's a maximum of two rythmn signature toss-up's per song, excluding the bridges.

Craftsmanship and creativity are one and the same to me. I just can't appreciate some bands music AS music, instead "art", and I'm not big on what I consider to be organized noise.

As for Cannibal Corpse..can you really have loyalty for the band? They've had more line-up changes than the ****ing New York Yankees and Cradle of Filth combined. They've been on life-support for years, only surviving on a brandname and some innovation that wore off after all the copycats got a piece of the pie. I appreciate your dedication, but they've been upstaged 100 times over since their inception.

They have a rather large and diverse fanbase actually.

That doesn't change the fact that they are an acquired taste, but that's precisely what aids my point. They're not to your taste, that doesn't mean that they're just noise. If you hear them as that, fine, but I know -- being a listener -- that there's more to them.

-AC

You have an undeniable point, although that genre's evolved past rat-a-tat drumming and thick breakdowns, which I still love in Hatebreed's albums. AC brought up that there's structure in DEP and Converge. I conceded to that, but not much in the way of continuity. Meaning, there's an insane mish-mash of signatures and errant breakdowns. I can't get into that, because it just doesn't get me involved or moved. Be it physically, or emotionally, and that's just me. I can appreciate other people being into it.

As for the bands I follow, they're not traditionally hardcore, really. There aren't any true hXc bands, from what I've experienced. Hatebreed's evolved past that, bands like Terror try and play straight up, and I think they're boring. I know most bands aren't complex, but there are plenty of bands lumped into what we call hardcore today that are still incredibly original, talented, and you can even understand their lyrics..which is a rarity, lol. They all have their roots in what hardcore stood for, like Napalm Death, who pretty much invented the mutt genre of hardcore metal.

cannibal corpse, bortheibe, devoured remains.

Slayer is the heaviest I've heard. Some of the Metallica stuff from "Master of Puppets" and "Kill 'Em All" is heavy, too. I've heard that Rammstein is good, but I've never heard them play.

Anyhow, back on topic. I think people are forgeting what the thread is. It's not "Favorite Metal Band" it's "Heaviest." Now I'm not a big CC fan, but they're undeniably heavy. I pretty much agree with most of the big Death Metal bands listed, it's defiantly the Heaviest (I didn't say best)

Try some brutal death like Devourment for heavy. As for the "heaviest band" its an impossible question to answer. It has too much to do with personal opinion so it can never be answered fairly.

Deicide is still my favorite. Heavy, Satanic, and still as brutal as ever. I was a little skeptical when the Hoffman brothers left the group, but now the new line-up is just as good. The new album wasnt their best effort, but certainly not their worst (In torment in Hell).

I think the heaviest metal band, all things considered, is probably one of the bands on Southern Lord.

Sunn 0))), Boris, Khanate, Cult of Luna etc. Although the latter two are probably on Hydrahead now.

I like Khanate when I'm in a VERY specific mood, same with Boris. Not the most accessible or likeable stuff, but for sheer heavy, grimey, sludge-like thickness, it has to be one of them. I think they tune their guitars to Z or something. Allegedly it's really uncomfortable to watch Sunn 0))) live, due to the extremely low-end frequencies they play with.

Crowbar are probably enough of a combo between that kind of style and regular metal, so maybe those. Scissorfight, also candidates.
