Uriah Heep as already suggested is the one that came to mind. Cherry Five and Flash might also be worth a look. Not especially heavy but both feature organ strongly.

I'm surprised with the amount of replies,gotta admit,it's comforting to see that not all people in the world only use Facebook to comunicate,forums are so much more straightforward.. 

thanks again guys

Welcome to PA!  Great place. 

One of my favorite hard-rock LPs that incorporates some great keyboards is "Force It" by UFO.  Leo Lyons, bassist for Ten Years After, played electric piano and Mellotron as well as producing.  Try tracks "Out in the Streets" and "This Kids" for examples:

Wow, I'm a pretty big southern rock fan but I had no idea that Ken Hensley was ever in Blackfoot. I'll have to check that out!

Perhaps Anekdoten? So far I only have their last album, but if I remember well it's got it's good heavy moments, plus lot's of mellotron.

Try this this fantastic video:



This lady can sing anything, there is some amazing organ here, and the band as a whole cover pretty well every possible base in the prog World.

Check out the rest of their songs  (videos 5 to 9) in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcu8PoH_dtk&list=UU3W1XHNG7narRPTv2LmrGrQ&index=6


Whatever you enjoy in progressive rock, this band will give you a taste of it at some stage in their amazing 2014 'I Still Breathe' debut album.

About as heavy hard rock can get with tons of keys

Because it bears repeating! This here is maximum keyboard heaviosity & essential listening for anyone who wants to hear a talented ivory-abuser go absolutey apesh*t on classic keyboards of all kinds. A full on prog album rather than 'just' hard rock, but it is prog that tramples through your brain in lead boots.

Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to.

Many of your vintage & contemporary HeavyProg and Psych bands have a good dirty mix of organ and buzz-saw guitar, for instance;

Another one I love is Inferno, by Metamorphosi. It's a keyboard fest.

Vanilla Fudge!  Underrated band with heavy organ as a focal point. 

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath had Rick Wakeman on keyboards, great album.
 
I concur, an amazing album, one of Sabb's best, but Rick only played on the song "Sabbra Cadabra."
 
Tony plays the keyboards (synthesizer, piano, organ) on "Killing Yourself To Live," "Who Are You" and "Looking For Today," and the harpsichord on "Fluff."
 
Geezer played synth & Mellotron on "Who Are You," and Ozzy also played some synth on that one, plus "Killing Yourself."

Wow, I never knew that. Nonetheless, thanks and Sabbath is still my #1.
