I've been thinking about this for awhile because I've been trying to figure out why my choice feels so damn heavy to me. I know faster songs, I know more chaotic songs, I know more doomy downtempo atmospheric songs, but for some reason the way these elements come together in this song just feels so massive and crushing to me.

So with that being said, my pick for heaviest song is:

Tsukuyomi (feat. Travis Worland of Enterprise Earth) from Tsukuyomi: The Origin by Distant

Like I said, I know there are songs that are more way extreme in individual ways, but the way these elements come together in this song just feels so goddamn heavy to me - genuinely heavier than a lot of stuff people refer to as heavier.

Anyway, what's the heaviest song you know, or at least the heaviest song that readily comes to mind?

Baby Shark makes every parent/ teacher/ care taker’s heart sink to the depths death metal could only dream of

It's also been weaponized, which as far as I'm aware isn't something that death metal has ever been used for.

The FBI and ATF used pop music, Christmas carols, and some rock blasted into the Branch Davidian compound (David Korech's cult in Waco, TX) back in the 90s.

Metal is frequently used in Guantanomo Bay, to my knowledge.
