What are the heaviest metal bands alive?

i need some really dark heavy shit. (black metal, death metal, etc)
i don’t care what type of metal bands as long as its really brutal and kick ass!

you’ve got two seperate things here – brutal, and dark. they dont concide most of the time, brutal is just heavy and agressive, dark is probably more depressive, slower.

here are some good options for both:
Brutal:
Nile
Suffoaction
Disgorge
early Carcass
early Napalm Death
Avulsed
Mortician
Vomitory
Lord Gore
Behemoth
Visceral Bleeding
Pyrexia

Dark – depressive black metal
Shining
Silencer
Nocturnal Depression
Xasthur
Kvist

and funeral doom:
Evoken
Nort
Comatose Vigil
Catacombs
Hierophant
Ahab
Funeral
Estoric
Thergothon
Beatrik
Dolorian
Void of Emptiness

Also really brutal are the extreme technical death bands:
Decapitated
Spawn Of Possession
Beneath The Massacre
Cryptopsy
Psycroptic
The Faceless
Necrophagist
Braindrill
Origin

And deathcore:
Burning Skies
Carnifex
Despised Icon
Job for a cowboy
Suicide Silence
Ion Dissonance
Winds Of Plague

Hope this helps in fulfiling your every brutal and dark needs:)
