If it's the former, well, I like Sunn 0))), Burning Witch, Thergothon etc. And is anyone here familiar with Brian 'Lustmord' Williams? Here's what I found out about him:

 

Lustmord's sound investigations are exquisitely crafted manifestations of horror that balance sublime sound references with the body's natural queasiness about ultra-low frequencies (infrasound -- frequencies below 20 hz -- has been known to cause vomiting, permanent hearing loss, and even death).

 

Now that must be heavy. Does anyone here know how often he goes for infrasound on his albums? 

 

Even the largest and most capable domestic speakers won't really reproduce anything below 20Hz (and for purposes of  musical reproduction, there's no need to do so).  So as far as being able to experience "infrasound" at home from CDs or other media is concerned, I think we're dealing with hype really.  Of course Lustmord may be able to do something like this live with the right equipment, which I imagine would be an uncomortable experience. 


Thanks for clarifying this. I mean to check this guy's music thoroughly, and I was a little worried about this "infrasound".

The heaviest music I like.......

Well, I listen to Mastodon, and I really, really, really enjoy them(at least Blood Mountain! only Mastodon album I have)

But if you wanna know the heaviest/hardest music I can stomach.... I've been listening some to Meshuggah lately, and I must say, although "I" is VERY heavy compared to what I usually listen to, I find it quite interesting. I'm currently 'getting in to' Meshuggah, and I suspect I'll enjoy them more and more as time goes by.

Carmen's last album "The Gypsies" is for me one of the first "power metal" albums

I don't actually listen to all that much heavy music, but when I do I like it to be intense and preferably weird.  In fact it is easy to list pretty much all the heavy stufff I ever listen to: Celtic Frost, Mastodon, Ephel Duath, Voivod (Nothingface period), early Metallica, Dillinger Escape Plan, Psyopus, Ion Dissonance and Flying Luttenbachers.  Also from the old school, occasionally some Motorhead and Sabbath. 
 
Of all the above, for me early Celtic Frost (Morbid Tales period) is probably the heaviest.  Not the fastest or necessarily the most brutal, just heavy.
 
If anyone has recommendations to make based on the above preferences I'd like to hear them.  I mean to check out Meshuggah as they sound interesting and possibly my kind of thing, but haven't done so yet.

Dream Theater, Riverside, and Pain Of Salvation are the only prog metal bands I listen to. PoS sometimes go beyond my metal limits, however.

I've tried Opeth and they may not be for me.

Hmm, Opeth is actually pretty light for me so maybe something heavier that that is how heavy I can go.

I don't think I can go heavier than Opeth, I'm not a big fan of death metal, and they're borderline.  Of course, they're still good, from what I've listened to.
