Paid Members eugenespeed Posted February 27, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2010 What is the heaviest song ever recorded? Â Serious question, I did a bit of research into this a couple of years ago for a radio show I do and came to the conclusion that is was Anaal Nathrakh's Pandemonic Hyperblast, which I then proceeded to play. The resulting e-mails were a lot of fun! Â Anyway, it's been two years on, in your opinion has anything surpassed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Edwards Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Tbh, Dark Magus by Miles Davis is heavier than any metal song I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claymore Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Depends on your definition of "heavy." Â To me, heaviness incorporates an element of catchiness. It's not about making the lowest, loudest, fastest or most disturbing sound possible, it's about creating the desired mood, whether that's aggression, despair, hatred or whatever. Â At the moment, on that basis, I'd be likely to go for "Lashed to the Slave Stick" by Nile. Ask me tomorrow and you'll probably get a completely different answer.

Â That is a fair point, how did I define heavy? I think I was going for how loud it was, but still being a track, and still being in the metal genre. So, for example, hardcore gabba wouldn't count, neither would some guy just generally making noise. Â Here is Anaal Nathrakh's Pandemonic Hyperblast to show what I was aiming at. Apologies for some of the comments on the video, but I can't control Youtube. Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6349Q-67eA Â and it's tomorrow, what is the heaviest track recorded?

Earthworks by Kerbdog would qualify for heavy with its almost industrial riffage, but its not like the 'metal' above   or some Celtic Frost   or something more melodic such as Megadeth  Black Curtains  or something more mainstream Feeder   Where do you draw the line?

Paid Members MoChatra Posted February 28, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 Anybody checked out Fear Factory's latest album 'Mechanize'? Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Anybody checked out Fear Factory's latest album 'Mechanize'? Any good? Â It's not too bad, kind of back to thier old sound but none of the tracks stand out at all. Â On the topic of heaviness i'd have to say bands like Sunn and Moss, the bass filled droney bands that make you feel like your bowels will explode.
