Well I guess the heaviest I can go is complete drone... like sunn 0)))

As said before heavy can be the best form of music is performed right...

Some of my favorite examples:

Anekdoten - Nucleus

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Phthisis & Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity Opens the Discussion

Meshuggah - Nothing as a whole

Opeth - Wreath, Demon of the Fall, April Ethereal, etc.

Guapo - Five Suns

Alamaailman Vasarat - Kivitetty Saatana, jaa hyva mieli, Asuntovelka, Tankkaustunti

King Crimson - Red, Starless, Larks Tongues in Aspic Pt. II, Level Five

Akercocke - Verdelet

Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad - Storm, Life is All Dynamics, Dedhead, Love?

Slayer - Postmortem, Raining Blood, Angel of Death

Decapitated - Day 69, The Fury, Three Dimensional Defect, Post ()Organic

Sigur Ros - Untitled 08 off of ( )


There are many many more... but then i'd drag in a slew of metal and other stuff

Slayer is the heaviest band I can stand. I know, there are some bands that make their music sound as lullabies, but I don't find anything good on them.

I think we're the lightweights 'round here, Petey. I always found Danny and Keith Partridge to be on the heavy side.
 
Seriously, if it's done with taste and melody even metal can be rewarding. I don't waste time pushing the "skip" button when the cookie monster raises his ugly head, er, voice. Across the board it's a genre that I find too few diamonds to bother mining the field.
 
Hmmmm... parts of the Mamas & the Papas, and Mountain were pretty darned HEAVY too, come to think of it....
 
 
 Sorry -- that was too obvious, wasn't it? LOL
 
Now post a pic of you in that red Power Ranger suit, Dan! Wink

I gather there's a difference between 'hard rock' and 'heavy rock' so Iron Maiden and Motorhead fall into the former category presumably?! If so then I would say Rainbow 'Stagazer' is about the heaviest thing I like.

^Black Sabbath is much heavier than Iron Maiden. The latter is harder though.

Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath (whichever is heavier) I don't like Thrash or Death metal...it's terrable!

It's got to just flow

I wouldn't want to take the risk to try one anyways, if infrasound is lethal... Shocked
 
Well, I listened to a 30-second sample from http://www.soleilmoon.com , and if I died in the process, then my Internet connection in the afterlife is as fickle as always. Anyway, while I definitely felt some physical discomfort, the infrasounds he used bore a certain beauty. I'll try to check out more of the stuff. I'm fairly confident only prolonged exposure to such frequencies can cause damage (after all, Brian Williams IS alive), but I'll be careful.

Are we talking about heavy or about, for want of a better word, brutal? If it's the latter, then I have no limits, although I rarely listen to death metal or grindcore nowadays.
 
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).

Blind Guardian is the heaviest I can go... and positively NO growling!!
