also that Mayhem album is one of my favorite black metal albums of all time but it isn't really 'heavy' so much as atmospheric, like...most black metal.
and what the fuck is The Prodigy doing on here...
― Neanderthal, Wednesday, 9 November 2011 23:18 (twelve years ago) link
that album is p heavy, but feel free to be a snob abt it
a folk artist is why its metal?
voted 5-9, not sure any of them are metal records tho.
― GOIT BUZZ TOYS (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 23:19 (twelve years ago) link
you know what's also funny about this list? no modern death metal. plenty of old school late 80s-early 90s thrash-influenced death metal, but like nothing by oh, say....SUFFOCATION type bands.

that brutal Truth is underrated too. saw them last year, put on a helluva show. but Need to Control should be on the list in its place, or Extreme Conditions Deserve Extreme REsponses. Animal Kingdom is more noisy than heavy (which is a lot of its appeal).
― Neanderthal, Wednesday, 9 November 2011 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
meh- how it invokes feelings in murder means that this list should have a bunch of hiphop and that record where the lead singer shot his own face off while his band killed each other and burnt down churches. instead, a record that had ringo starr jams makes it.

It's a good list, if a bit random on what heaviness actually means. But over half of it is as heavy as balls. The trouble with listing all the heaviest albums ever is it just ends up being a list of Warhorse, Eyehategod, Gojira, Winter, UFOmammut, Anaal Nathrakh etc, and it gets a bit tedious. Anyway, \m/ Dopethrone, 31 - 39 and I own two copies of Iowa.

Own 21, to my own surprise. Like all of them, too.
'Fat Of The Land' can go fuck itself imho. I'm mostly surprised at Mogwai's ep included here (which does rule, but still, v surprising)
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 10 November 2011 00:37 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, and it was a lot heavier than that and everyone just complained about the amount of doom and death metal I chose but that's what I perceive to be heavy. This kind of list is actually be ok, probably better than mine if you had the reasoning in a paragraph next to each one. In a way the heaviosity achieved by unsuspecting Beatles fans by The White Album back in the day must have been pretty immense.

Metal as a genre didn’t really get too big on the whole Satanism business until Venom broke ranks in the early 80s and said, ‘Way aye man, ye divnae wanna praise god ye wanna hail that gadge Satan.’

nah I think they just threw it together in the office yesterday afternoon, p much just to get traffic on their Facebook page
same deal w/ the Korn album though, Loveless is the sort of thing that should be on there rather than the Tryptikon album which may well be great but isn't, as far as I can see, making anyone think differently about how to be 'heavy'
