   Heaviest Prog Metal Moments!

opening a real can of worms here but time now that Metallica have made the grade as a prog metal band (at long last) It is high time we had a list of the Heaviest Prog Metal Moments! Rather than the heaviest song, create a top 5 of the heaviest music you have heard in the prog metal subgenre. That means the song does not have to be ultra heavy all the way through. For istance part os Opeth are very heavy with moments of tranquility. Heavy does not necessarily equal the most brutal aggression. Rather 'heavy' could be the brutal riffing in early Black Sabbath. Crawl metal can be extremely heavy such as the distorted fuzz guitar of early Metallica.

Sunn))) O should have some heavy stuff that fits the bill, and for that matter Devin Townsend. 

So here's my top 5 (which will undoubtedly change any minute now):

1 The Thing That Should Not Be - Metallica
2 By Your Command - Devin Townsend (ZTO)
3 By The Pain I See In Others - Opeth
4 Rational Gaze - Meshuggah
5 Iron Man - Black Sabbath
