What's the HEAVIEST song you know? (lemm.ee)

I'm not talking about the FASTEST, the LOWEST, or the MOST CHAOTIC song, but what's the HEAVIEST song you know?

I've been thinking about this for awhile because I've been trying to figure out why my choice feels so damn heavy to me. I know faster songs, I know more chaotic songs, I know more doomy downtempo atmospheric songs, but for some reason the way these elements come together in this song just feels so massive and crushing to me.

So with that being said, my pick for heaviest song is:

Tsukuyomi (feat. Travis Worland of Enterprise Earth) from Tsukuyomi: The Origin by Distant

Like I said, I know there are songs that are more way extreme in individual ways, but the way these elements come together in this song just feels so goddamn heavy to me - genuinely heavier than a lot of stuff people refer to as heavier.

Anyway, what's the heaviest song you know, or at least the heaviest song that readily comes to mind?

Check out this 12tone video which tries to analyze what makes something "heavy". tl;dr: sonic transgression https://youtu.be/b0mo17wLB4Q

That was a great video. I don't know that I 100% agree with the simplified conclusion, especially as I don't think heavy is always inherently at odds with "pop," (just look at bands like Limp Bizkit; they certainly aren't the heaviest band around I'd argue they're almost equally as heavy as they are pop), but it was a tremendous exploration regardless and I think I probably still agree like 90% anyway. I'd watched a few 12tone videos before, but one specific songs (Sympathy for the Devil, The Middle, Free Fallin'), but this was a better video than those were, imo.
