It's all relative. What I think is heavy is probably not to someone else.

No, it is not all relative. You're just a pussy.

And if your **** isn't as heavy as this, then please keep it to yourself. This isn't the thread for "Good Enough" trophies for music that's pretty heavy for non-doom metal.

As far as treble assault on the brain goes, yeah, I can't think of anything that overwhelming. Whether it's as heavy as the heaviest of bassy doom metal though, I don't know.
I'd say the violence of the music is some of the more intense I've ever heard, which is what made me pick it. This is another good runner up

This isn't a comment on anybody's choices but just a comment in general. I think trying too hard to be heavy makes you less genuinely heavy. To be really heavy it has to also be very sincere and deal with difficult but universal themes. Serial killers and Nazism aren't so heavy as general disillusionment and acceptance of death. Music doesn't have to be sincere to be great, however. Most of the best hip hop and metal is in fact very insincere. The heaviest music to me are things like Beethoven's late string quartets and Mozart's Requiem.
The heaviest R&B I know ...

I mean, I agree that classical can be heavy. A lot of people say (half-seriously I assume) that if Beethoven was living now he would have been a metalhead, and his 5th Symphony might just be one of the first whispers of metal, but I don't imagine that, even in its wildest interpretations, that it could compete with something like Sunn O))) in the heaviness department.
Sunn O))) might just be the winners, here. I don't know if they would be the heaviest band ever on their own merits, but from what I hear of their speaker setup during their performances, they take volume to a whole 'nother level, that actually can affect people subconsciously. That's pretty ****ing heavy.
