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. ;)

    There is an interesting division when it comes to music that is perceived as “hard”, and that is groove. Some just want music to sound evil and have harsh sounds, others require groove to feel the power. So, here are my recommendations with some groove:
    Everything by Devildriver
    Everything by Dethklok

      DethKlok in general; that stuff is put together extremely well
