"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Herman Melville : Moby Dick
Municipal Waste and Lamb of God are two of my favorite current metal bands. They aren't the heaviest, but they are excellent at thrashing. Napalm Death are pretty fun to listen to as well, they're more on the hardcore side of things.
In terms of "heaviness," I would try some good old Melvins, they're still heavy as fuck. Any other doom metal band should just about do it for heaviness.
Also, I'm gonna' be a pretentious asshole and ask you to stop listening to Disturbed. It's for your own good.
It depends what you mean by heavy. Most of the bands that are being given as answers are "metal type heavy" which I think was the answer that threadstarter was looking for, but I always think that heavy is also to do with how non linear the music is. Metal heavy tends to be heavy accross the board, very little surprises, so quite "easy" to listen to, becuase there's a fairly established beat to it.
I always felt that Mars Volta were a band I would consider heavy becuase they can be pretty hard or challenging to the brain. I think heavy can also be a lot to do with the environment that the music creates, so I would consider Joy Division to be pretty heavy music, as it's heavy on the heart.
So the questions would be heavy on the heart, heavy on the ears or heavy on the brain. I see heavy on the ears as the least challenging musically.
Cannibal Corpse, Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed

Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

Cannibal Corpse aren't even that heavy, they're just shite
Pig Destroyer on the other hand...
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

Done. Distrubed and Stone Sour were recommendations from people at work. Didn't even make it through all the Disturbed albums. Now they are in the pile that are destined to fall behind the CD player and never be seen again. I'm liking the Lamb of God and will check out Municipal Waste. Thanks.
