hehehe thats part of the appeal for me....i like it when the guitars are so downtuned and lost in the mix it becomes this retarded oppressive noise drone!!!!  I love Conqueror too (they were the predecessor to Revenge) and my, were they KVLT!!!  thats why we outside Canada probably heard of them heheheh

I guess Opeth, which is my favorite metal band also.
I mean, Im sure I can take more heavy than that...but when it comes to the Meshuggahs and such...then its pretty much over for me

I can get tolerate a fair amount of "heaviness" as long as it's balanced by other elements. When it becomes too unrelenting it puts me off. I like bits of DT, and Fate's Warning but cannot sit through a whole CD. Heavy is just one element and to focus too much on it robs the listener of so much else that music can do. It's like eating nothing but habenero peppers. Sure, a person can build up the tolerance for it, but you miss out on all the rest of the great food in the world.

I've spent bunches of $ on this stuff, I have all the Dt, and Fates, Evergrey, Some symphony X and PoS and more, but can't really say I like it. It gets to be too much. I've given it a fair try and several hundred dollars and now I move on.

well im going to go along with you guys and say that Meshuggah is probably the heaviest i have...but it's just so heavy that it looses that effect, it all sort of molds together and becomes rather dull...a common complaint, or so i hear.
i'd say that Dillinger Escape Plan hold a step up above them, although i've only listened to "Miss Machine"
ditto on Fantomas
to add something not yet mentioned: try out Acid Mother's Temple's "Electric Heavyland"...it's not your average AMT...

depends on how you define "heavy"

I really don't like black metal or blastbeat kind of stuff, but I do really like technical death metal.  in fact, just last weekend I saw Cannibal Corpse and Necrophagist! Tongue

ALTAIC

"Oceans Down You'll Lie"

I had mentioned The Chipmunks, but there's a better one and claims to be Heavy Metal:
 
 
Yikes, I rather cut my veins than listen to that. Dead

Just felt like popping in and making you aware of the fact that the contrabassoon is capable of producing very low notes and thereby is very heavy aswell. It doesn't really match the insane heaviness of the contrabass saxophone though.
