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?

It's hard to pick just one. Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis is absolutely a contender. Here are a few more that stand out for me:

Primitive Man - Victim (NSFW)

Katharsis - Wytchdance (the riff starting at 3:57, relentless and hypnotic. This band always made me think of Destruction but much darker)

Necrophagia - Dead Skin Slave (a little cheesy but the rhythm changes in the second half go hard)

Spawn of Possession - A Presence Inexplicable (the slowdown in the breakdown then gradual tempo increase, chef's kiss)
