What's the angriest/heaviest song you've ever heard? (Eminem, The Cranberries)

In all seriousness, I despise these threads because it is all subjective. If you are talking about angry , then lyrics could become the focal point and not music. Marvin Gaye hated the Vietnam war yet he chose to be eloquent about it. Is it any less angry because the music is soul?

I think that anger is genuinely uttered in 5 seconds of Bodies by the Sex Pistols (1:52) and no matter what I think of the band overall. My opinion of punk and pure anger is delivered in those few seconds.

As for heaviness. Listen to the Swans. Realise that they are probably the most abrasive band that has ever lived and end the convo! ( you have to give it a couple of minutes to kick in). This is the not the best example either. Youtube is disturbingly light on Swans.
