    I play guitar in a band named BYPRODUCT here in St. Louis, MO. We have been compared to bands like Meshugga/Tool/and Lamb of God, but we really dont sound like any of it (but we are indeed HEAVY)

    check it out and let me know what you think

    Give the band Mono a listen - they are pretty nice in ways similar to the ones you've listed as 'likes' - yet pretty different as well. More like ambient post-rock type of stuff...I recently bought 'You Are There' and really like it. Good stuff to work to while on the computer.

    I am not sure you'd get the full impression of them from samples on iTunes as their songs are longer and drawn out. Fwiw, I love Opeth too -- NIN, PJ, Tool...

    how heavy do you want it?

    two bands i draw your attention to are:

    the butterfly effect

    tourette's


    both are australian. tourette's are the heavier of the two. plus their singer is a girl. and she just knocks my socks off. she's awesome.

    This thread made me flash on a conversation I caught part of while I was strolling through the mall last night:

    Dude #1: "Oh yeah, fuck yeah...they are the heaviest for sure!"
    Dude #2: "Fuck yes...H.I.M. is totally heavy!"

    It made me laugh. Heavy is indeed in the ears of the beholder.

    These guys were cool. Goatwhore (sammy duet's new band) also rock pretty hard espcilly live.

    Also viggs mentioned high on fire... they rock quite hard in that sludgy way.
