Here's a list...

Train of Thought by Dream Theater
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss by Burzum
Sunn 0))) - Black One
Isis - Oceanic
Opeth - Deliverance
Univers Zero - Heresie
Mastodon - Leviathan
Negură Bunget - Om (epicly obscure black metal reference!  Level up!!!)

Anyway, that's some heavy stuff I know of.

Agreed. Tho' I'd mostly likely go for another album. Sus Futuros off their album 'Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos' is about as heavy as I've heard the band go, especially in a live situation. If you've not checked out any of their full albums, Dios Injusto is a very shot ep, give 'em a go, especially 'El Mundo Frio' & 'Llenandose de Gusanos'.

Hmmm, one of my candidates would be Electric Wizard; their album Dopethrone makes any Black Sabbath album sound like lightweight pop music in comparison.

Celtic Frost and their swansong release Monotheist is a pretty decent candidate too.

Anyone can be heavy today. It is difficult to say who is the heaviest, but when being heavy has become kind of normal it is not that sensational at all. If you want something sensationally heavy go back to 1969 and listen to High Tide's debut "Sea Shanties". It is still quite heavy today; for the time it came out it was insanely heavy.

If you should score this one on vinyl, be careful because it could melt the rest of your collection.

Both of them are pretty heavy.
What... grind death? Cannibal Corpse?Confused
They haven't released anything that comes close to sounding anything like deathgrind.
A pure brutal death band... brutal death sound barely anything like deathgrind.
You must be listening to stuff like Pig Destroyer or something of similar ilk.

I'm old but I still think tracks like Metallica's "Blackened", "Harvester of Sorrow", and even "Master of Puppets" are pretty heavy.

My heaviest album is the double vinyl of Quadrophenia with the booklet of black and white photographic plates. Weighs a ton!

maybe Melvins - Eggnog?

sludge seems to be where it gets relentless. Personally I think Sabbath's song "Electric Funeral" is still right up there, no matter the improvements in recording since then.

Eggnog? That one is relentessly and painfully heavy,"Charmicarmicat" in particular. Still, I agree with you regarding "Electric Funeral". "Hand of Doom" is up there as well.

Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse

Probably one of the heaviest in music and in atmosphere. It has 5 insanely intense and long songs with only little time for break. Also Kikael's voice is of the lowest he's ever achieved.

Agreed. Tho' I'd mostly likely go for another album. Sus Futuros off their album 'Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos' is about as heavy as I've heard the band go, especially in a live situation.

yeah dios injusto is the only one i have by these guys. pretty intense stuff. would you say that dios injusto is better, worse or a good example of most of Corrupted's stuff?

Some of the stuff in here isn't that heavy... though I'll admit I once thought that The Sword - Age of Winters was the heaviest album ever made. Tongue
I LOVVVVEEEE Opeth but, honestly, there are WAY heavier bands out there. Between the Buried and Me is heavier than Opeth and still there are WAY heavier bands than them too. Opeth's heaviest album is Deliverance.
Another heavy one. By far not the heaviest but still heavy and AWESOME, is Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage.
Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus have some insanely heavy stuff too.

Well in comparison to those two albums I recommended it is pretty different. Respectively there are only three tracks on those two records and your getting three hours of music. Their first full length is more your typical doom album, but from then on in it become a lot more varied and takes their sound to a different level. PM me if your interested in a sample.
