   • Heavy, like heaviest bands, or just heavy metal?

3. • J Parker
   • Heavy in terms of they sound heavy

   • Moss
   • [13:49 on 19/05/08]
5. • J Parker
   • Thats one band. Need nine more.
   • [13:51 on 19/05/08]
6. • Tino Insana
   • Wow, that is generic. I'm thinking that bands like Pentagram are heavy to me, yet they haven't got a supremely heavy production. Same with bands like Black Sabbath etc... too though. Maybe more like a heavy feeling? Fuck it, I don't know, just laugh at my choices later.
     
     Black Sabbath
     Pentagram
     Trouble
     Asunder
     Agent of the Morai
     Acid King
     Crowbar
     Decapitated
     Eyehategod
     Lazarus Blackstar
     
     I feel cheated with only ten choices, ya bitch!

7. • J Parker
   • Thats why its a test!!! Heavy feeling yes. Heavy metal possibly no, as the tinniest thrash probably wouldn't be described as heavy, whether Pentagram, even though 'quiet' still thumps you in the head. Get me?

     Buried At Sea

9. • Tino Insana
   • Yeah I get ya, that's what I thought. Something like Buried at Sea is really heavy sounding, but it still doesn't hit me as hard as Pentagram - the incredibly catchy stupid/awesome lyrics have a lot to do with it.
     
     Grym - you just made me realise what bands I left out, that would almost be my second top 10

11. • bad admiral
    • eyehategod
      
      iron monkey
      
      venetian snares (anyone who says dance music can't be heavy can lick my balls. listen to some snares. than lick my balls again)
      
      whitehouse/consumer electronics
      
      manowar (in a non ironic fashion. gets me going.)
      
      kid 606 (as snares)
      
      pig destroyer
      
      nick cave and the bad seeds (9 middle aged men in suits going some on 3 upright joannas is heavy in my book)
      
      lambchop (not loud, but heavy as fuck. 9 middle aged men and a middle aged woman fucking going some with spanners and shit but really quietly)
      
      death in june (heavy, as in, dense)

    • This last on made me think of Discharge for some reason. They need a mention, as do maybe Obituary.
      
      Dance wise, anyone heard Burial? They/he are as heavy as 'dubstep' gets, I assume
    • [14:43 on 19/05/08]
15. • Ben
    • Not heard any Burial yet, I think I'd like it tho. Personally the heaviest I've heard on a dance tip is either Technical Itch or Black Sun Empire. Probably Tech Itch now I think about it. Unless you count the comedy heaviness of Dillinja.
    • [14:47 on 19/05/08]
16. • rustyspoon
    • Burial is cool but very chiled out stuff, personally i wouldn't say overly heavy.
      
      Venetian Snares is quality, put him together with speedranch and you got something heavy as in volume there!!
      
      The Cinematic Orchestra should of made it onto my list really, especially from a live point of view, that can be some lumpy throat feelings.

      i just don't get dubstep. it all sounds like morcheeba records sped up a bit.
      
      i also think that el-p and sage francis deserve a wee mention from a hip hop angle.
      
      as does the rza.
      
      oof!

    • List thread! Wow!
      I'm sorry, but am I the only one who never reads these? Even if I post a list of my own, I'll barely scan all the others.
      Especially this. You'll get a couple of token interesting answers, then the same bands over and over.
      Sorry, I should probably start a separate thread debating the relative merits of list threads.
