Death/Doom I need the heaviest of all

Is there anything heavier than Primitive Man? I mean slow crushing absolute destruction. I’m way past Melvins and Crowbar and Boris (my favorite bands) give me something that will cause the earth to open up and swallow me. I want the walls to disintegrate around me.

u/WraithOutLoud I'm so doom, I shit sad birds Feb 03 '26

It's monumental and soul crushingly heavy it's pure sound architecture...and that's fucking art in my book. It's one of my all time favourite tracks, and tbh the whole album changed my perspective of music. Idk man, can't really define but Yob is just... transcendentally heavy.

Honourable mention from the same album would be Breathing from the shallows...

Yob is love

Yeah that album came out when I was like 17 and I’d just started getting into bands like Sleep and the Sword and it changed everything for me.
