I'm not talking about the FASTEST, the LOWEST, or the MOST CHAOTIC song, but what's the HEAVIEST song you know?

I've been thinking about this for awhile because I've been trying to figure out why my choice feels so damn heavy to me. I know faster songs, I know more chaotic songs, I know more doomy downtempo atmospheric songs, but for some reason the way these elements come together in this song just feels so massive and crushing to me.

So with that being said, my pick for heaviest song is:

Tsukuyomi (feat. Travis Worland of Enterprise Earth) from Tsukuyomi: The Origin by Distant

Like I said, I know there are songs that are more way extreme in individual ways, but the way these elements come together in this song just feels so goddamn heavy to me - genuinely heavier than a lot of stuff people refer to as heavier.

Anyway, what's the heaviest song you know, or at least the heaviest song that readily comes to mind?

I like bass and listen to a lot of metal so. It’s all pretty heavy lol

But I’m gonna throw in the pipe organ. The biggest, loudest, most badass instrument that fills entire cathedrals and sub bass that shakes your house. Your sound system needs to be able to produce that though.

Celtic Frost - A dying god coming into human flesh

I've listened to some Celtic Frost before, but that song was new to me. Killer track though. Not sonically the most crushingly heavy thing I've listened to, but the lyrics and vocal delivery impart a real sense of profundity that really heighten the heaviness. This was a really cool pick, thanks for sharing it

Linux joke or something? I'm not savvy enough to recognize the format

I don't know if they are the heaviest but there are two songs I keep coming back to. The first is Thrust! by White Zombie for its groove and the other is Hail Mary by Testament for pulling off heavy at a time when metal was still largely played on 9 gauged six strings tuned to e standard and no concept of bass in the mix.

I'm not a big classic thrash guy by that Testament song is great, definitely vastly better than the standard for 90s thrash, in my opinion.

Tiptoe through the tulips by Tiny Tim.

Not because the song hit heavy or hard per se, but his massive balls to perform this in public create a gravity well that pulls asteroids towards earth.

You know, it isn't where I was expecting this to go, but you aren't wrong.

Such a great song. Love Bloodbath. This one often has my mirrors vibrating in my car.

This one's new to me, but I just listened to it and it fucks hard. Cool as hell song, gonna listen to the rest of the album now.
