What's the HEAVIEST song you know? (lemm.ee)

I'm not talking about the FASTEST, the LOWEST, or the MOST CHAOTIC song, but what's the HEAVIEST song you know?

I've been thinking about this for awhile because I've been trying to figure out why my choice feels so damn heavy to me. I know faster songs, I know more chaotic songs, I know more doomy downtempo atmospheric songs, but for some reason the way these elements come together in this song just feels so massive and crushing to me.

So with that being said, my pick for heaviest song is:

Tsukuyomi (feat. Travis Worland of Enterprise Earth) from Tsukuyomi: The Origin by Distant

Like I said, I know there are songs that are more way extreme in individual ways, but the way these elements come together in this song just feels so goddamn heavy to me - genuinely heavier than a lot of stuff people refer to as heavier.

Anyway, what's the heaviest song you know, or at least the heaviest song that readily comes to mind?

Such a tough question because I want to shout out songs across multiple subgenres. Death Grips - No Love, Primus - Frizzle Fry (especially the ending), Quo Vadis - Silence Calls the Storms, Rage Against the Machine - Settle for Nothing, Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose, Denzel Curry - Ultra (feat Yung Kane , Nell , Slikk , Rell), Vivaldi's Summer 3rd Movement and half of the Acid Bath or Ulcerate catalog. If I have to settle for one song though I think I would go for :

Ahab - Old Thunder

However, if I can choose a particular snipet of a song that I think is the heaviest thing I have ever heard period, I would go for Akercocke - Leviathan, between the marks of 3:30 and 4:00. I was legit scared first time I heard that. You gotta listen to it from the beggining though because that build up is insane.

Akercocke - Leviathan ... because that build up is insane.

Yo, what a fucking banger of a track! You weren't kidding about the build up, insane and super effective, and then like you said borderline scary when those huge uncleans hit. And I love how a section in the guitar reminds me a little bit of like an NES game warning alert sound during that part. Very sick.

Ahab - Old Thunder

Yeah, that's fucking heavy. Great pick.

Glad you liked it ! I think this band is a little bit of a hidden gem. Their albums "The Goat of Mendes", "Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone" and "Antichrist" are really worth checking out.
