Post the heaviest song of all time.

zepp76

Anything by Pantera should suffice surely?

I've plenty of stuff heavier than Heartwork by Carcass, but there's something about that production and the riffs that for me define heavy. Yes there are plenty of bands playing faster and banging away at eight-strings, but for me that doesn't always mean heavy - sometimes it's too transitory due to the fast pace to have real impact.
 
Of course like everything else heavy and in any style of metal, Sabbath were there first. The kings.

Yep - that was their heaviest riff.

The other one was.

The song of the grim reaper...

Really just posting this as some people might enjoy it as much as me & I think it deserves to be better known. I don't even know (or care) what category of music this is.

Like most things in this thread I'd guess laptop speakers are no good for this.

This is the first song that popped into my head:



Absolutely brutal and not a guitar in sight.

Some of the lyrics in that song are some of the funniest lyrics I've heard in any song. 

Probably unintentional. 

"Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake
The ancient lake
Baby

The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake
He's old
And his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest"

These lyrics always make me laugh when I hear the song.

When I was still a schoolboy (many, many years ago) this was the definition of heavy for me. Playing this though my dad's homemade speakers with massive bass drivers could make the sitting room window vibrate. You could feel the bass in the pit of your stomach. Plus, it's an absolute killer cover.

Heeeaavvvy....... maaaan.

I do like it, both for what it is as a song and as a cultural moment. Best appreciated with some dope and Martin Sheen.

This was a mainstay for me back in 90/91

I always find this song quite heavy in a way, partly because I would have loved to hear more of Dylan Carlson recording with Kurt as a side project to Earth/Nirvana.

Sunn 0))) were the first band that sprung to mind - certainly by all accounts you don't listen to Sunn 0))) you feel them - via the vibrations in the room - it's incredibly loud and heavy and super slow - there's something about them tho...

Reverend

I can't take Sunn seriously
