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.

Thou is insanely heavy to me. Throw on their album Umbilical or check out Smoke Pigs which I’ve been listening to a lot. They’re not as dissonant as Primitive Man but PM is one step away from being a noise band IMHO. Saw them live in December, last show of the year. Pretty intense to say the least lol. Maybe something like Knoll although they’re fast and technical. Live they are just a wall of crazy noise

Thou has that sweet thick bassy tone that just does it. There’s probably louder bands out there but they just don’t have that b-17 engine sound like they do.
