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. ;)
Here's a few of my favorites, across a few genres. Each of these goes very hard in their own right. Some in unexpected ways, but they all have a really strong energy behind them.
Then, if you have the time, these two are both some personal favorites of mine, but they're pretty long. But definitely worth the time, as they are not only absolutely beautiful songs on their own, but they also go very hard.
20:58: Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (This is a live version of the song, and tells a story about the Big Bang and the birth of our universe, and has a special appearance by Richard Dawkins.)
14:07: Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence (This song is heavily inspired by The Iliad, the classic Greek poem by Homer.)
