The Top Ten
1 Realm of Chaos - Bolt Thrower
2 Slowly We Rot - Obituary
3 Nightfall - Candlemass
4 Severed Survival - Autopsy
5 Consuming Impulse - Pestilence
6 Scream Bloody Gore - Death
7 Altars of Madness - Morbid Angel

Yes, this is heavy and very good as well.

8 Reign In Blood - Slayer

Masterpiece for the extreme metal world.But in three years was overcomed in heaviness by Altar Of Madness.

9 Darkness Descends - Dark Angel

Yes, this is very heavy thrash metal. And very fast.

10 Pleasure to Kill - Kreator

I voted for because it should be higher

The Contenders
11 Epicus Doomicus Metallicus - Candlemass

Not as fast as some of the others here, but the guitar tone here is gigantic, very bass-driven.

Disagree, doom metal isn't as heavy as thrash/black or death metal.

12 I.N.R.I. - Sarcofago
13 Kill 'Em All - Metallica

Their other 80s albums are way more heavy than this.

14 Scum - Napalm Death
15 To Mega Therion - Celtic Frost
16 Show No Mercy - Slayer
17 Lulu - Metallica and Lou Reed
