The most INTENSE song ever?

almauro · 11-17-2011, 06:53 AM

Intensity can be measure in a lot of different ways. The way Elliot Smith utters a line, can be extremely intense. But when you're talking about a song being intense from an auditory perspective, I think the slew of cyber-grind outfits who's sole mission is to launch the most intense sonic assault possible on the listener, will win every time. Anaal Nathrakh, were one of the early users of inhumanely programmed drum machine patterns to escalate this assault on the senses. Now see if you can hang with this....

Very subjective topic, as I don't find Tool to be as intense as some, but they have some awesome tracks. I personally find anything by Cannibal Corpse is intense, especially anything by after Barnes left. I am currently hooked on "The Wretched Spawn", and I find that's a very intense record. But I'm not one to shoot down the opinions of what others may feel are intense to them.

Edit: That Nathrakh song is killer!

I think the entire idea of 'intense' varies wildly.
Some people call lyrics intense, some people call depressive music intense, some people call music that's plain loud intense. I myself think very dynamic music with loads of moments in it that take you by the hairs and drag you right back into the music is intense

For sheer aggressive energy and dynamism.

An incredible song from start to finish, drones, swirling sound manipulations and breakneck techno all combined for an intense end product.

Intensely and relentlessly disturbing.

Abrasive, vitriolic, and noisy as. For me, intense.

Same feeling, different song. I'll compare them soon

Yes, exactly right.

My favorite of the four your posted. What makes the song, I think, is the electric guitar screeching like a hissing cat.

Also, the song is short. Some of those longer ones started to lose impatient me after around 1 minute...and then I began skipping through each song to get a feel for it without having to listen to the whole thing. I'm a bad music listener.

You teats don't know what you're talking about.

The acid-trip that is Rosetta Stoned epitomizes this for me.

It's about the inventor of LSD. He took so much of it that he was really freaking out and tripping, and the doctor's didn't know what was wrong with him, so they go to talk to him and he describes his trip, convinced it was real. The emotion in Maynard's voice really sells it. In my opinion, it's the best song ever written.

ok...its not just the "music" with this....its the entire concept that Sutcliffe Jügend brought with this album.....the album is called "When Pornography is No Longer Enough" and each track is a first person account of brutal torture/rape/murder of a different "victim"....through the eyes of the killer....very good example of transgressive behavior....what makes this a bit more unique (in my opinion) than other attempts at the same thing.....is its all there even some regret....the continuous decent it to a chaotic uncontrollable madness....from the killer coming to "release" to quickly, to him screaming at his victim about how much he wished her mother was there to see this, to the killer freaking about about there being to much blood......i'm not exactly a fan of this....but i feel its an important piece in the genre of "power electronics" and even surpasses the transgressive ideas of "gods" Whitehouse.....i can honestly say that i would be wary if anybody who truly loved this album

Honestly Scars by Papa Roach and Control by Puddle of Mudd is some that really grabs you by the uh-whatever. I have more but my brain is fading.
