    Ok so they're not metal, but they are heavy as hell punk rock, The Bronx - pure aggression of the highest order! They've got some great tunes too. Check 'em out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RONJqkRlADo

    I think you're asking on the wrong BBS. The heaviest some of the people here have delved into is Tool!

    Matt's suggestions are good. I'd also try asking this question on real forums like ultimate-guitar.com (in the metal section) and ozzfest.com.

    History's Stranglers live was heavier than Slayer.


    Anyway, Meshuggah and Strapping Young Lad are some of the heaviest in terms of sheer weight of music, as are Neurosis, Khanate etc

    Pearl Jam are something of an anomaly in my musical tastes :) I generally listen to Jazz, Hip-hop and underground punk and metal.

    Not ragging on your favourite bands but they aren't even the heaviest of their kind of bands. Not even close to the heaviest around.

    Try this for an entry into some really heavy music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVifUqwui7A :)

    I believe it's based on his ability to be both baselessly smug and unintentionally hilarious at once. He thinks he is the only person who knows REAL music because he digs Mastodon.

    I've never heard the music of Goblin Cock, but that is a freakin' hysterical name for a band!

    They may be old school, but I'll add Slayer to the list.

    Well if you are looking for something that is just brutal both Pig Destroyer albums are pretty much that. Of the bands you listed they are closest to Hatebreed.

    If you don't need the music to be absolutly brutal one band i don't think has been mentioned yet that i like a lot is High on Fire. Check out their album blessed black wings. A good little sabbath like groove.

    There are some folks on this board who enjoy heavy music but i think odin was just making a point that you may not get teh best answers on this board because i would imagine the majority of pearl jam fans probalby are just casual metal fans if they like much of it at all.

    I usually tool around on some other boards when i'm looking for some new heavy music.

    I love those guys. Fate of Norns is such and awesome album.

    Opeth is pretty awesome too if the OP likes prog metal.

    Blackwater Park & Still Life are my favs \m/
