It's a little gem for sure! It also got my vote. Great record.

Automatic Fine Tuning - A.F.T. (1976), way ahead of its time album, before Malmsteen, or any guitar hero out there

A fine selection but in the spirit of the poll question, then it comes down to the wire between the Shubs' scare fest and the terror that is the UZ masterpiece!

Khan is my favorite but it's far from heavy IMO.

Same votes for me. Most of the options on offer here have a fond place in my collection (though I have not heard the Saharah - probably should).

Heresie is maybe the heaviest platter UZ laid down other than Ceux du Dehors - which is just about maximum heaviosity possible.

Les Morts Vont Vite is an amazing album but Space Shanty is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

I find Captain Beyond quite a bit heavy but certainly not as much as Il Balletto di Bronzo's Ys
I'm not familiar with all the albums on the list, but the comparison to 'as heavy as any metal band' seems surely to me exaggerated.
