I guess it's a matter of opinion. Some will say Black Metal, but Death Metal has a much thicker, heavier, more guttural sound in the vocals. Deathcore is pretty heavy too because they have deathgrowls, shrieks, blast beats, double kicks, way down tuned Guitars, you name it.

But when it comes down to it, the factor that makes them more extreme isn't the sound. It is the ideology of the band and the way they express it. Gorgoroth kicks everybody's a**

yes, it's based on opnion but Children of Bodom kicks everyones a** no doubt about it.

Matter of opinion, depending on how you define intensity. If you define it by speed (as many do), then Death Metal (the real stuff, not this so-called Melodeath nonsense) or Grind would be the places to look.

My money is on either Extreme Metal or Death Metal.

The world most heavy metal music?

I recently came across this band. Their name is The Berzerker and they hail from Australia. This is the fastest shredding band I have ever heard. They are twice as heavy as Slipknot and 4 times as fast. You can check them out on MySpace. I think they are the heaviest band I've ever heard and I've been a Metalhead for over 30 years( I'm 51 years old). The heaviest heavy metal genre is death metal and black metal or a subgenre of them such as brutal death metal. Doom metal as well can be quite heavy - especially funeral doom or death/doom which is often slower and "thick" sounding kind of heavy. I think Berzerker is fast and chaotic but fastest doesn't mean heaviest. It is all anyone's game as to what band plays the heaviest metal music and in the end all comes down to personal preference.

What subgenre of metal is lamb of god?

Lamb of God do not like to be grouped into a single sub-genre of metal, hence their slogan "pure American metal" but if you had to put them into a category, id say their first albums (Burn the Priest and New American Gospel) were mostly Black Metal, and their newer stuff is almost Death Metal. hope this helps :)
