What do you consider the Heaviest songs - Click on this thread and you may not be able to move your mouse.

I'm with the OP regarding Black Sabbath as being up there when it comes to "heavy" sound. It's a crime imo that Iommi's solo stuff is relatively unknown.
Into The Void was the first song heavier than pop and soft rock I've ever heard in my life and it left a huge impression on me
If you want heavy, check out the 1:01:40 timestamp forward.

Tracy G really crushes that sludgy, heavy tone, too. I don't really think of ultra-fast blast beats as particularly "heavy," especially when the mix has the entire midrange sucked out of it. Gotta have weight. Put some bottom in it. Like if your song is is a girl, she's big-tiddy goth gf with a huge ass, not skinny hyperactive headbanger gf.

Or this, Zakk Wylde had a very heavy tone on the No More Tears album.
 
BHS is only heavy in the sense that it drags you down.
Blow Up The Outside World is heavier than BHS both musically and lyrically. You just need to see/hear this cover version by Living Colour performed hours after Chris Cornell passed away.


As for the heaviest non-metal song ever? For mine, that'd be Denzel Curry's version of Bulls On Parade.

 
Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt (1996). A short-lived band featuring Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson before Burning Witch and Sunn O))), with Runhild Gammelsæter, then a Norwegian student on exchange in Seattle, on vocals. They only made one EP:
Raw footage of a 1995 show.

Corrupted, a band Japan who mainly sing in Spanish. All their stuff is ultra-heavy, the later material in different ways. Here's the 1995 EP Nadie:
Or try the 40-minute album Paso Inferior from 1997.

The Angelic Process - Weighing Souls With Sand (2007). Shoegaze metal similar to Godflesh crossed with Nadja:

Away from metal:

Swans' early live albums Public Castration Is A Good Idea and Real Love, both 1986, are even more brutal than their studio records.

Mainliner - Mellow Out (1996). Blown-out Japanese hard rock featuring Makoto Kawabata from Acid Mother Temple on guitar.
(skip to 1:50 for the first song)

Les Rallizes Denudes - Heavier Than a Death in the Family, a collection of live recordings from the late 70s, chosen from their discography for the title. Wait for the guitar solos:

The Goslings - Grandeur of Hair (2006)
(forward to 7:45 for the second song, Croatan)

One of the heaviest objects in the known universe is the fourth track on the album Pathétique by Fushitsusha (1994). It is 44 minutes long and feels like being crushed by a black hole. Warm up to it with the rest of the album first:
 
They were complete fucking monsters in another league that night. This was already their heaviest song at this point, and yet they somehow found a way to make it even heavier. The drums sound like battering rams. Hetfield's voice is absolutely possessed, especially those growls at 4:45. Lars is completely off his fucking head on coke.
 

Pretty much anything Car Bomb ever put out.

But also, this song wins the thread on a technicality, at least until CB puts out a song called "even heavier matter from the depths of the multiverse."
