Some of its really heavy. Immortal, Marduk, gorgoroth, 1349, and emperor are probably the heaviest. Others like mayhem and bathory are about as heavy as a thrash band - ryanrimmel

Thrash metal is heavy. In one way its heavier than Black metal but ultimately black metal sounds heavier cause it's a lot faster than thrash metal. - zxm

Immortal and Gorgoroth are the two heaviest bands of the genre - countnightdark13

Black metal is the heaviest as it has band such as burzum gorgoroth and Darkthrone u can't get heavier than true raw Norwegian black metal! m/

Napalm Death
Carcass
Aborted
Pig Destroyer
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
Extreme Noise Terror
Repulsion
Terrorizer
Nasum
Brutal Truth - ryanrimmel

Technical Death Metal's heavy but I can listen to it more comfortably than death metal. Maybe because its technical. - zxm

Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Nile. - Metal_Treasure

Technical Death Metal has 2 sub-groups:
1) Brutal Technical Death Metal: this is really heavy (Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Nile). Technical Death Metal is on this list mostly for this sub-group and should be higher. It's much heavier than death metal and thrash.
2) ordinary Technical Death Metal: it's less heavy than the 1st group and is more melodic (Necrophagist, Obscura, Quo Vadis) - Metal_Treasure

Sepultura
Lamb of God
Pantera - ryanrimmel

Take a listen to Pantera,Machine Head,Gojira and Sepultura - Delata

Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Candlemass, Electric Wizard, Solitude Aeturnus, and Saint Vitus. They aren't fast, nor do they scream, but use dark riffs and melodies to create a dark atmosphere and make music sound heavy. - ElectricCorpseSlayer

It's like death metal with blast beats and pig squeals. HEAVY

Deathcore fuses the traditional death metal styke with growls and metalcore screams along with typical "core" genre sounds and breakdowns and pig squeels which makes is the heaviest genre relying to music,if we talk about what the song talks about the heaviest out there is black-blackened death metal, but as to the music...DEATHCORE

Cannibal corpse!

Prog metal never seemed heavy to me. - zxm

Extreme Metal is an umbrella term that covers thrash, Death, black, grind, and doom Metal. So this list doesn't make sense - ryanrimmel

Extreme metal means heavy genres of metal. It isn't a sub-genre. - zxm

Extreme metal is heaviest metal!

Blackened death metal fuses the death style with satan and anti-christ speaking text. This top is really crazy because thrash metal is too light compared to this or other metal subgenres which contain screams,growls and pig squeels with fast rhythm and heavier guitars,people only know metallica and other famous bands and they do not know what they are voting for
