Strapping Young Lad has some seriously heavy tracks on their more recent album, The New Black." That, and the Devin Townsend Song "Hypergeek" is blisteringly heavy but in a...happy way, if that makes sense.

I think there is a quite a lot of varied opinions on what actually makes a "heavy" band, though some are interpreting it is speed, some the lack of speed, some noise, some just plain old consist thrash

Personally for me it is solid fat sounding riffs so i'd acknowledge some Celtic Frost, Crowbar and some of the earlier Hatebreed material but your perception always changes.

When MH's Burn My eyes came out metal was in a bad way and it was commonly reported as a super heavy guitar album with wall to wall riffs. Nowadays many wouldn't rate it as a heavy album, i still think its a credible suggestion

I can see your point. And it's actually my opinion that artists like The Doors, Tom Waits, Alice in Chains, Mr. Bungle and Jimi Hendrix were infinitely heavier than most hardcore, grindcore, thrash or death metal bands that have come out in recent years, who can come off as more than a little trite and recycled.

I just went with the recent death metal, grindcore, math metal or just straight-up metal bands that I've encountered lately, since I figured that was what the basic gist of the thread centered around.

I saw Bolt Thrower at lots of all day Hardcore/Grindcore metal festivals in the late 80's and they were usually blown away by Carcass, Napalm Death, Cerebral Fix and Extreme Noise Terror at least live. Always loved Bolt Throwers album covers though!

I like those guys but I don't find them particularly heavy compared to other metal bands.
