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?

I don't know if they are the heaviest but there are two songs I keep coming back to. The first is Thrust! by White Zombie for its groove and the other is Hail Mary by Testament for pulling off heavy at a time when metal was still largely played on 9 gauged six strings tuned to e standard and no concept of bass in the mix.

I'm not a big classic thrash guy by that Testament song is great, definitely vastly better than the standard for 90s thrash, in my opinion.
