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. ;)
Rawthang - Scorned (wait for it)
DaVIP & Encode - Vamonos
Meshuggah - Millenium Cyanide Christ
Machine Head - Blood for Blood
Now I am going to have to listen to Meshuggah’s “Bleed” and “Demiurge”. My neighbours may object.
Solid choices. Perpetual Black Second is another favorite of mine.
