I almost wore my Wrong One To Fuck With shirt to see Buckethead the other night but I figured it was the wrong crowd for that.
Here’s Encrust - Grime Maiden.
Doom Song - Hell to Pay by Miracle Of Sound.
MoS does game and movie themed music; this one is for the game Doom.
How ‘bout some good ol’ fashioned prog metal?
Ayreon - The Banishment
Dream Theater - The Dark Eternal Night
Fates Warning - Valley of the Dolls
Helstar - Angel of Death
Mercyful Fate - Evil
Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow
Queensryche - Gonna Get Close to You
Symphony X - Smoke and Mirrors

A little pop-ish, but heavy sludge from Torche:
And some heavy, proggy goodness from Maudlin of the Well:
More east coast stoner rock:
Valkyrie
Isis. “In Fiction”
This is not death/heavy metal, I’d describe Isis as more of a ‘melodic metal’ experience. While I am a huge fan of most all of their work, this is the best song on the best album, IMO. “In Fiction” has to be in my Top 5 favorite songs-of any type-of all time. It is absolutely brilliant in it’s evolution as a story communicated exclusively thru the sounds of music. There are very limited vocals in the song but even the vocals are there not as lyrics that drive a song but as complementary sounds to the music itself. You just have to listen to see what i mean. This song never stops giving me goosebumps, no matter how many times I’ve listened to it. It is in some ways almost like a microcosm of life. Its a shame these guys are no longer making music.
Some classic metalcore:
Earth Crisis: Firestorm/Forged in the Flames
Integrity: Harder They Fall
Judge: Forget This Time
Damnation AD: On A Pale Horse
Sleep - Marijuanaut’s Theme - stoner/doom
Sleep Terror - Screams of Tenerife - instrumental tech death metal
Nuclear Desolation - Acid - thrash/groove metal
Inhuman Remnants - Inattention Blindness - brutal tech death metal with freaking insane guitar solos
Bay Area rockers The Watchers:
I suppose this would be "Stoner Rock"....Nice. You might like sleepmakeswaves, too: their whole Love of Cartography album has a similar heavy postrock vibe.
Thirteen by Tolkien: The Most Metal Deaths in Middle-earth, Ranked -The Toast
Stryper ballad, anyone?
Misery Index, with former members of the aforementioned Dying Fetus - Fed to the Wolves
When Terrorizer’s World Downfall came out in ‘89, it tore peoples’ heads off. May not stand up as well today in terms of overall composition / curbstomping power (like it sure did back then), but still fine by me. Storm of Stress
Cadaver Inc. (Norway, '99) - Rupture
Maybe not metal per se, but heavier than Robert Earle Hughes - Neurosis - The Doorway. Do not listen to this unless you want to thrash on things. Go loud or go home.
Carcass’s ‘greatest hit’, I spose - Corporal Jigsore Quandary
Pig Destroyer. A double shot. Because they’re special.
Hyperviolet
Sheet Metal girl
Nasum - Inhale/Exhale album. Great Swedish fare. Unfortunately came to an end when founder and guitarist/vocalist Mieszko Talarczyk perished in the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. Just listen to the whole damn album.
La belle province de Quebec has always had metal coming out of the woodwork. Gorguts put out one of the strangest, most unique metal albums ever recorded. Obscura LP Heh - not a whole lotta bands will come to mind, with these guys.
and my go-to reprobates whenever there’s a metal thread:
Cephalic Carnage - Ov Vissicitude
Hate Eternal - To Know Our Enemies
Origin - Algorithm
oh and some low budget low-fi crapola noisemakers from 20 years ago that might have had some lame-ass doper drumming for them. Funny whoever printed out my lyrics. 4-song 7" - $300 later.
Ladies & gentlemen, please allow me to introduce your new favorite band, a band with a long, brilliant, long future in front of them, right from their garage in Kansas City: Hammerhedd!
Here they are doing a more-than-competent cover of Annihilator’s Alison Hell!
Gojira: Global Warming
A little heavier The Heaviest Matter of the Universe
From a folk metal band called Eluveitie, prepare yourself for the ancient brutality of Catvrix
If you want a laugh you can’t go wrong with Gloryhammer’s ridiculous, over-the-top, self-aware power metal. The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee, the title says it all.
Upon further thought and reading of the thread:
This is the band I thought of when I saw the thread title.
I need more of this in my life! Thanks for posting it.
Haha! Whenever I look at the lineup for big metal show, I wish some of those bands would just write their names legibly. Honestly, if your band’s name looks like a bunch of fallen trees you’re not helping yourself.
What, no love for Pleiades’ Dust, the forty-odd minute long, one-track album that made metal heads explode in 2016? 
More songs:
Audrey Horne is far from the heaviest band out there, you could probably argue that they’re more of a rock band, but Out of the City always makes me feel better, and the video stars Johan Hegg of the mighty AMON AMARTH. Viking death metal FTW.
If you like heaviness, technicality, anti-religious lyrics, *super *clean production and instrumentals like no one else, then Within the Ruins is for you. Behold Beautiful Agony. They’re also great live. In fact, I discovered them when they opened for, and blew away, two much bigger bands. When they start playing Gods Amongst Men I’m one of the crazy guys in front screaming the lyrics. Then I go blow up the pit.
And how can I forget the up-and-comers from my home state of CT, Currents. Delusion. Great live performances. I hope they get as big as the CT-grown Hatebreed. Since I mentioned them, I’ll say that the legendary Hatebreed at the Legendary Toad’s Place is the best show you’ll ever get.
