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

Darkthrone is really heavy - GreenDayFan21

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

Go Listen To Gojira there the best Technical D Metal band out there

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

Really heavy - GreenDayFan21

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

Deathcore Should Be number 1

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

Sepultura
Lamb of God
Pantera - ryanrimmel

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

Is horror Metal a thing? - ryanrimmel

What is horror metal?

Prog metal never seemed heavy to me. - zxm

There's nothing heavier than the sound of eternal darkness and suffering that feels like a cold wind blasting on your face during the cold blizzard of the nuclear winter. You could as well eat raw flesh and sacrifice your own eyes to the Satan and scream in agony while blood drips all over your face from your eye sockets while listening to Drone Metal.

Yes, speed metal is quite heavy. - zxm

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

Cannibal corpse!

Maybe not as heavy as grindcore, but I think it sounds better

Goregrind has the heaviest vocals

Not that heavy but needs to be higher. It got Slipknot, Soulfly and (referring to old school now) Linkin Park.

As much as I love Nu Metal, this genre has to be the least heaviest subgenre. - wrests

Ha ha! Is this a joke?

Slipknot is heavy but the rest are not.Still this genre has some other good bands Linkin Park,System Of A Down,Korn,Stained,etc.-DarkBoi-X

Listen to SYL's City and come back here.

Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails... - leonzillaleon

Symphonic metal isn't heavy. It usually consists of opera vocals with power metal (type of) riffs. - zxm

Come on whats more heavier than this genre, look at the title, it even sounds heavy, the songs tend to have insanely fast tempos, very heavy sounding riffs, lots of double bass drum, and the vocals are so damn brutal that you can't even understand them.
