Here's Gasoline:
For more current stuff Clutch are superb & often VERY bluesy.
Here's Electric Worry (featuring Eric Oblander, of Five Horse Johnson- also worth investigating). This song is the reason I took up harmonica.
John Lee Hooker also for an unearthly & menacing voice
Cream if you want heavy and progression but respecting the original
Groundhogs if you want heavy & blues influenced but a bit further away from the original forms
Jeff Healey's first EllPee See The Light had some good stuff on it
I never thought of SRV as "heavy" but his whiteboy blues is production-wise more "aggressive" than for example Freddie King. However you should listen to Freddie if you haven't already.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Based upon this, Pantone 2965 would appear to be the best option

Randy Bachman (Bachman Overtime fame) has a couple of great blues albums ..

Probably not what you mean by 'heavy blues', but it is bluesy and it is very heavy. Well, it has Jimmy Bower in it, it will be heavy and bluesy.
Firstly +1 for Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters.
Elmore James
Dr Feelgood - any of the first three albums. More rhythm'n'blues than pure blues, but sometimes quite menacing.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers - Greatest Hits is a good place to start.
Johnny Winter - I quite like the album, Second Winter.
Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore.
Peter Green era Mac was quite heavy near the end.
