Dear community, often, when people mention they listen to “hard music”, I just don’t feel the energy in what they show me. Many times I get to hear just monotonous, noisy, wannabe-hard sounds, but they fail to “transport energy” to me. I am looking for absolute bangers, no matter the genre. Pretty much the pinnacle of how much raw power one can convey through music. I know that this is highly subjective, but with enough suggestions, there might be some good stuff to be discovered. So far, I have only found a hand full of songs that I perceive as “hitting hard”. Andrew Hulshult has some great songs in the DUSK soundtrack (example above), and Noisia makes some bangers, their “Imperial EP” was the first time I can remember feeling what I am looking for. Please only post serious suggestions.
Edit: Thanks for all the answers! I’ll need some time to “work through” these. ;)
Pumped up kicks is quite „hard“, at least text wise: https://open.spotify.com/track/7w87IxuO7BDcJ3YUqCyMTT?si=Tbx96MsYTRiOrTdMsRmSiQ

Beat wise few tracks hit harder than „hit me hard“: https://open.spotify.com/track/4xvOZdRvnhaK2XbdHzIelj?si=eCXbqOILQFm8-7h1ALNiMA
