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?

The others count as fast and chaotic but this is DEFINITELY heavy

A candidate that comes to my mind right now: Laibach - Smrt za smrt (Death for death)

However, IMO much of the heaviness is based on the fact that the "singer" is reading a description of some sort of war crimes, in Slovenian D:

Torche - Barrier Hammer is a nice contender: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qnQ4uSGgLPw

So weird quick story, I was introduced to three albums I adore by this absolute hurricane of a woman who had a brief but impactful presence in my life. One of them was Tyler the Creator's Bastard, another was Thou's Tyrant, and for years I have been trying to remember the third album, only able to remember that it was amazing stoner sludge and had something to do with cavemen. Cut to literally yesterday morning and out of nowhere like a lightning bolt it suddenly hit me all at once: Meanderthal!

So anyway, Torche kick enormous ass, I'm so happy to finally be reunited with them, and I spent basically all yesterday listening to them (mostly Meanderthal again and Admission).

I'ma throw my hat into the ring with Undergang. Danish Death. The guitar tones are disgustingly creepy and the feel of the tracks is heavy as. Start with 'Tvangstanker'.

It's hard to pick just one. Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis is absolutely a contender. Here are a few more that stand out for me:

Primitive Man - Victim (NSFW)

Katharsis - Wytchdance (the riff starting at 3:57, relentless and hypnotic. This band always made me think of Destruction but much darker)

Necrophagia - Dead Skin Slave (a little cheesy but the rhythm changes in the second half go hard)

Spawn of Possession - A Presence Inexplicable (the slowdown in the breakdown then gradual tempo increase, chef's kiss)
