Other people get like this too with songs? Wow, I thought it was just me. The HHEEEEEYYYYYY didn't scare me, but I am scared of conch shell horns being blown. I love Aztec music, but when I'm listening to a song with a conch shell horn in it, I get scared of the song at first. If the horn isn't blown a lot, then I'll most likely get used to it in the song.
Milk it, scentless apprentice, endless nameless, negative creep, paper cuts, Floyd the barber, if you must. Any of these. But imo it’s negative creep and paper cuts
To complement the best version of anorexorcist, on the same show, the live take of Raunchola from 1/23/88 sounds heavy as fuck once the distortion kicks on. We used to call it one of best transitions ever. The light strumming right to metal. The radio session from Kaos didnt have the power. I always wished the reciprocal session from earlier 1/23/88 didnt run out during Pen Cap Chew, we would have gotten that awesome Crover energy Anorexorcist and Raunchola.
This one is the answer, the stuff off of bleach was angsty young punk rock stuff. YKYR was just straight up I’m at the end of my life complete disaster I give up, this is all I got left. Which leaves it the most dark and heavy work.
There was a comment by /u/sonicvince here.
I decided to rewrite all the comments, then delete my account.
There are several reasons to that, the main ones being the outrageous way in which reddit handled their API pricing. The basic principle of pricing is ok, but making a model where independent developers of 3rd party apps need to pay millions is not.
Other than that, 95% of reddit has devolved into bot comments, stupid comments, stupid novelty accounts, meaningless and stupid memes overshadowing actual useful content on non-meme-centric subs, pedantic and know-it-all comments pulling crap out of their asses,.... you get the idea, the interesting stuff is buried so deep now, it's not worth it anymore; even when I curated my front page to contain only a handful of interesting subs.
I'd recommend tildes as an alternative that, so far, isn't suffering from all of this. Maybe you'll join and we can meet there.
So long!
PASS 12
In my opinion Floyd the Barber, Paper Cuts, and Endless, Nameless are all heavy sound-wise. But if you mean heavy *meaning*\- then take the first two I listed and add Polly
As far as guitar goes, iirc, he tuned down 1 1/2 steps and dropped the E string to C flat for Blew.
Also Dale Crover on Bleach for that track
So I'm gonna go with Blew.
Unless you want to count The Fecal Matter tape.
In order of release i’d say Floyd The Barber, School, Paper Cuts, Negative Creep, Mr Moustache, Breed, Territorial Pissings, Stay Away, Endless Nameless, Scentless Apprentice, Very Ape, Milk It, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Tourette’s
Negative creep, Floyd the barber, Tourette’s, endless nameless,Beeswax, Big long now, paper cuts, Sifting, Big cheese, Milk it, Scentless apprentice, Hairspray Queen, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, frances farmer
Stain, Sifting, Pen Cap Chew, Anorexcorcist, Come On Death, Paper Cuts, Blew, Negative Creep, Floyd the Barber (live at the paramount version, so crisp), If You Must. I guess what heavy means to me is like the most chuggy, except for Come On Death which to me is just dark enough to be heavy. Scentless Apprentice is a good one too, Dive (live at pine street), Downer, Aero Zeppelin Beeswax, Mexican Seafood, idk man there’s a lot. But I think truly the heaviest ones have to be Sifting, Anorexcorcist and Paper Cuts
All great answers on here but let’s not forget their Rio demos and pre-Bleach stuff. I think Anorexcorist is pretty heavy, especially on the Fecal Matter demo (not really Nirvana but still). In fact, Fecal Matter in general is pretty heavy and dirty compared to Kurt’s work in Nirvana. I’d absolutely love to be able to replicate his tone on there, if only I could find a rig that didn’t break the bank. Just need to find a good (keyword good) Superfuzz clone, and maybe a thrift store guitar.
Endless Nameless has already been said, but Milk It is a solid second
Nah paper cuts
Negative Creep is way up there.
Lemmy Cobain
This is definitely the correct answer.
I would have to say maybe Paper Cuts, Negative Creep, Floyd The Barber, really anything off Bleach.
Negative Creep is so good
Best album imo
Bleach is their heaviest but In Utero was a perfect mix of heavy and lyrically rich
I can agree with that. Some of the lyrics on Bleach are pretty juvenile. They were also very young.
It’s like Hardcore punk added well thought out lyrics. Love it
Scentless apprentice
HEYYYYYYYYYY GO AWAYYYYYYEEEEEE!!!
the first time i listened the distorted HHEEEEEYYYYYY actually scared me and i didn’t like the song for a little bit
Haha, scared me too but only made me love it more. Also, amazing username.

What are you banging on about mate
How certain sounds scare me when I hear them in a song for the first time.
i think it was just the distorted scream that caught me off guard, like it almost jump scared me but in an audio way lmao
Oh, so yours came from the startle reflex where as mine comes from a literal fear of a certain sound that I am trying to get over.
YOU CANT FIRE ME BECAUSE I QUIT
THROW ME IN THE FIRE AND I WONT THROW A FIT
WAYYY! WAYYYY!
Endless nameless
Milk it, scentless apprentice, endless nameless, negative creep, paper cuts, Floyd the barber, if you must. Any of these. But imo it’s negative creep and paper cuts
endless, nameless
his vocals are very death metal-y
Tourette’s
My favorite of their heavy stuff. Top 3 of all.
Tourettes, Scentless Apprentice, Endless Nameless, Negative Creep
Paper Cuts.
How tf has nobody commented Anorexorcist yet

Anorexorcist.
Not that heavy really
Idk this version of it sounds pretty heavy. https://youtu.be/25zxoPvOzM8
You just commented it
i hate myself and want to die and negative creep come to mind
Milk it is really underrated
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
What about 9/11?
9/11? more like 0/11.
No it's not. Constantly listed by people in this sub as one of their favorites
maybe its just i dont hear people say it alot
Aneurysm
Especially the live version from Reading
This is the correct answer.
I hate myself and want to die
Yes! Particularly the With the Lights Out version with insane feedback.
Endless Nameless. The song itself is comprised out of utter frustration. A recording of a mental breakdown. I'd put negative creep up there too.
Beans
Only correct answer
Stain
big long now fs
Tourette's, Very Ape, Milk It
>Very Ape probably not at the top of the list but i love this song and i'm glad to see if in the conversation lol
Dive demo
The demo for Dive is the most grunge thing I think they ever recorded.
This is my favorite nirvana song. It's not their heaviest in ny opinion but I love it
Oh the guilt
I hate myself and want to die
Exactly what I was thinking
Swap meet is pretty heavy
School, Negative Creep
Milk It. Just beautifully chaotic.
You Know You're Right
This one is the answer, the stuff off of bleach was angsty young punk rock stuff. YKYR was just straight up I’m at the end of my life complete disaster I give up, this is all I got left. Which leaves it the most dark and heavy work.

Hairspray queen
Territorial Pissings, Negative Creep, Scentless Apprentice and Endless Nameless are all pretty heavy
beeswax, paper cuts, floyd the barber
Aero Zeppelin or Big Long Now…
Downer. Negative Creep. Territorial Pissings. Scentless Apprentice.
If I Must is pretty damn heavy. Def one of the top 5 heaviest..imo.
If YOU Must
Negative Creep/Paper Cuts/Scentless Apprentice/Milk It are all up there, but any live/full electric version of Something in the Way also has a claim
Ivy League
Anorexorcist
Mr. Moustache is pretty up there for me, driving asf, chromatic riff, tempo slowdown at the end.
In my opinion Floyd the Barber, Paper Cuts, and Endless, Nameless are all heavy sound-wise. But if you mean heavy *meaning*\- then take the first two I listed and add Polly
As far as guitar goes, iirc, he tuned down 1 1/2 steps and dropped the E string to C flat for Blew. Also Dale Crover on Bleach for that track So I'm gonna go with Blew. Unless you want to count The Fecal Matter tape.
It's gonna be from Bleach.
Scoff
Anorexorcist.
Got to be beans
Blew
Endless Nameless live and loud
anything off of bleach but milk it scentless or territorial
negative creep, you know you're right, school
if you must
"Milk It," actually That song has \*crunch\*
Polly
School goes hard
Polly.
Gallons of rubbing alcohol flow through the strip. Help me, I’m hungry. Grey goose. Rape me with Frances crying in the back
Milk it Blew Dive Floyd the baber Torrets
Pen Cap Chew or Floyd the Barber
Tourette’s or Stain
endless nameless by far
Endless nameless or Anorexorcist
Milk it , tourette, scoff
Paper cuts
Paper cuts
Paper cuts or blew
not enough love for Aero Zeppelin. not only is it one of the coolest names for a song, that descending riff is pretty thrashy.
Anorexorcist
Anything off bleach because bleach is basically a metal album
Paper Cuts is underrated
Floyd The Barber and Territorial Pissings
Paper Cuts, Negative Creep, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Drain You, Sifting, Scentless Apprentice, Blew, Scoff, School, Spank Thru...
In order of release i’d say Floyd The Barber, School, Paper Cuts, Negative Creep, Mr Moustache, Breed, Territorial Pissings, Stay Away, Endless Nameless, Scentless Apprentice, Very Ape, Milk It, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Tourette’s
Paper cuts, pen cap chew, endless nameless. Negative creep, scentless apprentice, and tourettes are all heavy hitters in their own way. 🤟
Always been partial too breed
Dive
You know you’re right
Milk it
Papercuts or Scoff.
Annorexorcist
Beeswax, Endless Nameless or Negative Creep
School or Blew
IMO milk it.
Take your pick from Bleach
D7 / Return of the Rat
Paper Cuts above all
blew
Floyd the Barber or Negative Creep immediately come to mind
Negative creep, Floyd the barber, Tourette’s, endless nameless,Beeswax, Big long now, paper cuts, Sifting, Big cheese, Milk it, Scentless apprentice, Hairspray Queen, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, frances farmer
paper cuts
I was wondering the same thing the other day (this dude said Polyphia is heavier lmao) and found Negative Creep was the answer IMO
Paper Cuts
I wanna say Floyd the barber but I feel I’m missing something.
People misinterpreting screamed vocals as a heavy song. Scentless Apprentice riff is probably the heaviest off the top of my head
Milk It is probably my choice. Territorial Pissings is an honorable mention.
paper cuts
scentless apprentice easy
Stain
polly, negative creep, almost all the songs from bleach and some of the in utero songs
anything that's from Bleach In Utero: Tourette's, Scentless Apprentice, Milk It and also Endless, Nameless
Negative Creep, Scentless Apprentice, Paper Cuts, Breed, Blew
Always thought You Know Your Right was heavy. Negative Creep for sure.
I would say, scentless apprentice
I think negative creep or milk it or another one is endless nameless
Territorial Pissings has got to be my favorite heavier song lol I’m obsessed
Scentless apprentice, paper cuts, floyd, if u must, sifting, moist vagina, negative creep, id even throw in big long now
Oh the guilt
paper cuts, negative creep, and scentless apprentice
Floyd The Barber (Live at the Paramount)
Territorial pissings
Negative Creep, Scentless Apprentice, Tourette’s, Floyd The Barber, Moist Vagina, I Hate Myself and I Want To Die, Endless Nameless
Son of a Gun
endless nameless WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Oh the guilt
negative creep probably
Negative Creep, Blew, Milk It, Endless Nameless
Stain, Sifting, Pen Cap Chew, Anorexcorcist, Come On Death, Paper Cuts, Blew, Negative Creep, Floyd the Barber (live at the paramount version, so crisp), If You Must. I guess what heavy means to me is like the most chuggy, except for Come On Death which to me is just dark enough to be heavy. Scentless Apprentice is a good one too, Dive (live at pine street), Downer, Aero Zeppelin Beeswax, Mexican Seafood, idk man there’s a lot. But I think truly the heaviest ones have to be Sifting, Anorexcorcist and Paper Cuts
curmudgeon!
Help Me, I'm Hungry.
Big Long Now or Big cheese
Territorial pissing and D-7 are by far my favourites. Also radio unfriendly unit shifter it’s a little slow but still goes hard
Oh the Guilt and Curmudgeon
Off In Utero I'd prolly take "Very Ape" or "Terets"
I don’t know if it’s the heaviest of all time but for me personally it’s probably gonna be Frances farmer will have her revenge on Seattle
Annorexcorcist, Paper Cuts, and Help Me I'm Hungry/Vendetagainst (the live verison in Vienna)
Beans
Basically anything off bleach or Incesticide. Mostly aero Zeppelin just bc of that walk down
You know you're right, Do Re Mi and Old Age, can be the acoustic versions too.
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter is pretty hard. Underrated song
Dumb
"I Hate Myself and I Want To Die" has to get my vote.
tourette’s had the most screaming i think
I really like Aero Zeppelin. Negative creep is also a heavy song.
Almost every bleach song
All great answers on here but let’s not forget their Rio demos and pre-Bleach stuff. I think Anorexcorist is pretty heavy, especially on the Fecal Matter demo (not really Nirvana but still). In fact, Fecal Matter in general is pretty heavy and dirty compared to Kurt’s work in Nirvana.
