MachineHead: Davidian

Another definite must-have for your "Heavy as f**k" comp is surely the mighty Slayer and some personal favourites Samael with Rain and Shining Kingdom from their album Passage.

Never a truer word was said on these boards...

Sorry JAMES, but I cannot even START mentioning heavy choons, as the whole first 30 years of my life consisted of listening to ultra-heavy shit...

But the whole SYL album by the Strapping Young Lads is indeed heavy as feck (especially 'Relentless')...

Then... erm...

Winter - Goden (from Into Darkness)
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness... and the early 'Sear Me'
Paradise Lost - As I Die
Anathema - Sweet Tears
Samael - Worship Him
Emperor - Inno A Satana (sp?)

etc etc etc .... Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Slayer, Kreator, Testament, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle, Immortal, ... this is pointless

Oh, and since yesterday:

Ahráyeph - The Rain Suite!

IZ.

Hüsker Dü (means "don't forget" in some Nordic language).

I knew the first bit, just wasn't sure which language it was.

You want heavy as fuc.k? Try and track down a copy of The Hookers: Black Visions of Crimson Wisdom, it's fantastic. There's another record available by them called Satans Highway which is very different--more raw, drunken punk than the full on heavy as fuc.k metal you get on Black Visions. 'tis a shame I don't know where my copies of these records went.

I'm not massively into "heavy" music, but it's relative I guess. I'm no doubt a complete wuss if you're a serious metalhead, but to everyone else I probably do listen to a lot of Very Scary Noise
This is what I go for when I've had enough of all the Burt Bacharach...

SWANS - Filth (klang! klunk!)
Laibach - Jesus Christ Superstars
Arch Enemy - Anthems of Rebellion
Loits - Ei Kahetese Midagi

And occasionally some some pre-Black Album Malettica and assorted folk-influenced metal from the Baltic rim, but shhhh....

hurrah!

@IZ. seems we have the same music backround.
Come on, use your influence on Mr. Blast and compile him something which will squeeze his brain out of the ears.

I fear this is not really his cuppa tea, miss, I can always try tho

I tried to serve him some Katatonia once upon a time, but he didnae take the bait... tho he is a huge Paradise Lost fan...

Mebbies we'll have to bomb him from two sides

IZ.

Anything by W.A.S.P (apart from the slow wanky songs)
Knives- Therapy?

James, If you like Paradise Lost you'll probably like Saturnus but i don't think that’s the direction you are talking about ..?

Keep going people, all your suggestions (apart from the artwank that is Swans) have been logged in the Blast Memory Bankâ„¢.

But what is it your exactly looking or James?
Heavy music soundwise, Rock, metal, Doom
There are a few electronic acts mentioned, I wouldn’t consider them as heavy music myself…

I'd go for rock christophe. That guitar based 'crunch' with bass guitar and drums as was my initial inspiration - Dr. Feelgood by Mötley Crüe.
If nö öne's heard it, I'll find an mp3 and pöst a link.
I döes kicketh *erse!

*sorry Jess, I have been guid up till now

May I recommend some Big Black? "The Power of Independent Trucking" would be a good place to start here.

Yeah, Big Black is a good choice. Also, Mush by Leatherface is quite good--sort of like Motorhead crossed with Husker Du, I guess.

err... well.. if Dr. Feelgood is the parameter, why don't you try out some Skid Row, Faster Pussycat, Motörhead, G n'R etc?
I personally don't see anything "heavy" in the Crüe, just plain kick-ass Rock N' Roll.

*shuffles off with her metal records, taking IZ with her*

My favourite very hard thing is Boris - Absolutego.

Coincidentally, it meets Prog requirements as well lasting more than an hour

Or "Fish Fry" -
"The one who wouldn't go down on his brother's dead,
She's wearin' his bootprint on her forehead...
...Now I f**k you and I hit you with my shoe
And I hide your bloody body in Frenchtown pond."

I HEART crunchy. Oh, yes. And walls of shimmering noise. Oh, and reverb... *Swoons*

Everything Big Black did was heavy

Earth - A Bureaucratic Desire For Revenge Parts 1 & 2

kinda like another band once was

the ones that supported for the sisters last year? I didn’t think that much of them, but you reminded me of Blutch, they where quite all right and I think more into James alley.

If that had the label 'The Jesus And Mary Chain 2007' I think a few of us would be doing cartwheels.
Otherwise, rip off, but a feckin' ace rip off!
