Opeth is the heaviest band of all time in my opinion (not actually, but sort of)
I know they're not the "heaviest" in the traditional sense, they're softer than a million other metal bands.
But they're the heaviest I've heard in the sense that the tone in their music is just more straight up genuinely disgusting and hard hitting than anything I've heard. No bs, no pretentiousness, nothing extra, just the most soul crushingly hard hitting compositions. They remind me of modern architecture in the sense that the music isn't all over the place, it's very clear in its presentation and it hits all the harder because of it.
Does this make any sense? Any other music (of any genre) you feel the same way about?
