i think Slayer - Raining blood is a pretty good example of heavy,
especially that long triplet riff after the intro.
thats some real chuggin' stuff - as kerry king puts it.

Yep, I see (hear) what you mean. I remember in the mid-70's hearing early Black Sabbath as a kid and thought that was as heavy as it could get. It even scared me some!Originally Posted by Suhnton
For (semi)slow and plodding, I'd lean toward my favorite sludge metal band, Mastodon. "Iron Tusk" gets nice N heavy at 1:30 into the song.

Hey, that's Fredrik, my old pal from back home! We used to jam a lot back in the day. Meshuggah sure chews and grinds pretty good.

I'm quite fond of Mastodon, especially "Blood Mountain". I love the way the drums kick off that album. It reminds me of the SFX they used for the cars on The FlintstonesOriginally Posted by Tig
Robert, Umea seems to be a breeding ground for metal talent. Is it a small rural town?

Umea has about 75,000 people. Lots of heavy bands from there, yep. My old home... I am going back for a visit next year.
