Bro you cant say Pantera didnt release an album as heavy as Slipknot's Iowa? Great Southern Trendkill was savagely heavy.
Iowa is unhinged, raw, dark, heavy and unapologetically primal.
You have yet to discover infant annihilator
@@dontdodrugs8538AMEN 🙏🏼
@@dontdodrugs8538no, you have yet to discover Damaar
@@surutaeyaisutsu9904 more recommendations please
@@dontdodrugs8538 To be honest, I don't find anything 'primal' about Infant Annihilator because it's very technical. To me a music is primal when it makes me want to punch the biggest dude in the pit. That's why I find hardcore related bands 'heavier' than any of those technical shenanigans.
I don’t know if Iowa is the heaviest, but it sure kept me awake on an 8-hour night drive home from Houston.
Try Meticolous Butchery
Heaviness is subjective. To a die hard brutal death metal fan it’s “meh”, but if I play it to my grandma it’ll blow her mind 🤷🏻♂️
Dude it just kept me awake driving overnight from Buffalo (I live 6 hours from there)
Wait, did u just have Iowa on an 8 hour repeat? Respect
@@LinktoSonic I went between that and Machine Head’s “The Burning Red” because screw fumbling with a CD wallet at night driving 80MPH (this was 2003 coming home from a Radiohead concert of all things).
Its crazy but Sweden is packed full of musical talent. Imminence, In Flames, Meshuggah, At The Gates, and Opeth to name a few.
They really have some badass music.
You don't need to argue for European metal, obviously its legacy is unquestionable, Finn is joking.
Abba is great
Great songwriters-yes.
Great taste in music-yes (see ABBA, The Hives, Refused etc).
Great taste in metal-no (see Sabaton, Yngwie Malmsteen, Arch Enemy, Hammerfall etc).
Jotun was the first In Flames song I heard. He was immediately hooked!
IOWA is definitely one of the most important albums in metal history. A timeless classic, to this day it doesn't sound outdated.
it was already redundant the day it was released.
@@jerrygallo8314you make absolutely no sense. Go back in your box.
Them playing “The Heretic Anthem” on Conan has to be the hardest performance in Late Night Talk Show History.
8, 7, 6, 6, 6...
Was that the same episode that introduced the Slipnutz?
@@dustywaynemusic6297naw, they played Wait and Bleed a year before. The second time around, the cameras were even headbanging. The performance was so tight. It gives me chills every time I watch it.
I still have a 58 MB 320x240 MPG of that performance that I got on some early p2p filesharing network.
Slayer performed Rain in Blood on Fallon once
Mr. Mckenty discusses Iowa from 5:21-6:53
I didn’t realize people=shit hit number 3. That’s absolutely insane
Middle school and high school era was lit if you lived through it. It was the last time rock and metal were really mainstream.
Even bangers I went to school with liked Slipknot and soad. It was the last time rock and metal wasn't for grown ppl and niche white guys.
I wanna go back I loved the emo rap and south Florida wave but I miss instrumentation
Legendary tune. So fricking cathartic! Crazy Iowa hit #3 on Billboard with literal Death Metal instrumentals
lol the Richard cheese version is hilarious
Richie Queso is GOAted for some of his swing covers! @@robertsylvester3542
@@robertsylvester3542 Richie Queso the GOAT!
1:44 coming from the dude that just some videos ago talked how he used to fart in front of girls. And his friend was like “dude wtf are you doing” and you kept doing it. You Finn. Are a European power rocker in the core
Learn from my mistakes 😇
😂😂😂
I wanna see that clip now 😂

"Why am I overhated"
I think what makes Iowa so heavy is the pure hate, anger and pain that went into it. Like yeah something such as Infant Annihilator is heavier, but they don't actually feel and mean what they're saying.
It's the authenticity that makes Iowa such a powerful, heavy album
i fucking LOVE the little details like corey's intense breathing at the start of the heretic anthem, and its shit you understand if you've ever been extremely pissed off. you cant just manufacture an album like iowa or try and make it to fit an "aesthetic" or "style" its straight from the core authentic, these are actually fucked up people making music that channels their hatred. i love death metal, hardcore, deathcore but nothing hits quite as hard as iowa. plus the production really adds to the emotional weight.
its also the delivery of corey taylor. its cool hearing core bands pull off wicked pig squeals and low gutturals but corey's style and delivery is more relatable and feels like the way you scream in your car when you're pissed off, and thats heavier to me imo
The best is when people add the “‘s” on a word that adds an extra syllable. I’m in Pennsylvania, and love when people say they’re “goin down to Sheetz’s”
Down South, people often say mine’s instead of mine.
Holy shit. I’m from PA too and it’s so prevalent. “Heading over to Costcos”
Kroger has always been Krogers
In PA as well. I always found "yous" instead of "you guys" amusing. "Wooder" instead of water. "Crick" instead of creek.
Ah yes, the " text-iss" people.
" Hey I just saw your text-iss"

"Europe is humanities blooper reel" is an amazing hot take tbh. It's gonna take a while for I recover from that.
Probably the closest thing to country being accepted by rock was when Johnny Cash covered Hurt.
I rarely agree with Finn’s takes but I always tune in. I think it’s nice to hear someone express their opinion and elevate their views without having to trash something else in the process or call people dumb.
I always considered Crowbars 2001's sonic excess in it's purest form, to be one of the heaviest albums ever made💁♂️
Odd Fellows Rest has to be in the top 3 heaviest for me. When I think heavy, I think low and slow.
@@strychenI've always kinda thought that to.
Crowbar is heavy on so many levels; musically, emotionally, lyrically.. love that band.. ❤️
@@RIB1998 yes Anon it does🫤
13:45 Absolutely. My cat would probably just die with me out of heartbreak.i love that cat as much as she loves me and we're bonded.
When i leave my parents house she sits outside my room and cries for me :(( constantly looking for where i went. We spent every minute of the day together usually, she'd cuddle with me under my blanket on top my chest with her head on the pillow and it was the best thing ever. I am that cats' whole world and shes most of mine.
I'll admit to not being a huge fan of Slipknot (well, Corey Taylor specifically), but Disasterpiece from Iowa is incredible. It's catchy as fuck, heavy, and is just a well made song all around.
Plus the lyrics are absolutely unhinged.
True... lyrics too are sensational
Wait until you hear music they don't play on the radio 😱
Got em 😎 epic
Iowa is what every deathcore bands wants to do but can't
As insane as IOWA is, the heaviest album I've ever heard was you will never be one of us by nails.
It is not definitely the heaviest metal album, but a heavy one indeed.
Corey's voice alone makes any slipknot song a prime contestant to any other heavy one. Its an instrument from hell
Bilmuri is so so good. I’ve been a big fan of Johnny Franck since his Attack Attack! days.
When I'm having any issues I'm come to Papa Finn for advice
Sorry to hear that 🤨. Good luck. 😂
Papa Finn is daddy!
Canadians are fiercely protective of their own when it comes to a musical artists. It's actually a law in Canada that Canadian radio stations have to play x amount of Canadian musical artists during their broadcasts. Not quite sure what that number is but it exists
"Dogs are simps and its great!"😂😂😂
I absolutely agree about toy dogs!
12:50 Nothing beats the experience of a Ragdoll Cat.
It's Cats>Dogs>>>Ragdoll Cats.

- Cute
- Purrs
- Knows no agresssion, will never hurt you.
- Loves you and can't live without you.
Peak animal. Whoever bred them should get a Nobel Peace prize. This cat will melt your heart and I don't care who you are.
What you said about the end, about emotional regulation and how we let music or sport be our identity, is super important for people to hear.
I'm a father of two, both grown, and one of the things I really wanted to teach them was resiliency. You're gonna meet people you hate, for whatever dumb reason, or they have opinions you don't like, we all have someone like that in our lives. the point is, what are you going to do about it? Be resilient, be able to move on.
I love your channel because you are very opinionated and entertaining. Some of the stuff you say, if I don't agree, I just toss it aside. That's how it should be about everything. Take the stuff you like, leave the stuff you don't. It's pretty simple to build resiliency.
Well said
I would argue your trial was rigged when you use Feuerschwanz as exhibit. 😂
exactly, its like In Flames, At the Gates, and Amon Amarth would have been way better examples
@@jaredwilkins4938 or Gojira, Opeth, Kreator, Spidergawd, etc. But I presume that Finn knows that Feuerschwanz is not the apex of European metal.
@@Schmiddelwutz2000The equivalent American metal exhibit would be Design the Skyline or Psychosexual.
50 Cent In Da Club was hip hops glam metal phase.
Favorite Danzig story- I'm at a Danzig show when their tour bus pulls up. Danzig had them rope off the area like they were the freakin Beatles. Mind you, they are playing an 800 capacity venue and probably about 600 were there to see Hatebreed. That little munchkin is walking down the stairs to get out of the bus and falls flat on his face in front of hundreds. There is a roar of laughter from the crowd. He got up and kept walking like nothing happen, with his mean mug and muscles showing. And a bloody lip to boot. But you could tell that he was embarrassed and his ego took a hit being laughed at.
The only club show I've ever been to that wouldn't allow cell phones with cameras inside, and this was when iphones were still relatively new
@@dustywaynemusic6297 HAHA wow. Glen didn't want any freebie pics out there that wouldn't profit him.
As a Michigander I feel targeted by the Kroger’s comment
I used to live there, and I remember everyone saying Meijer's
You're my morning content before taking my kids to school! Love your videos and opinions.
All Gas is such a great song. You got me into Bilmuri over the summer. Easily one of my favorite bands now
Taking Feuerschwanz and rammstein as an example for european metal is like taking Nickelback for american metal.
The Great Southern Trendkill is the best heavy album ever
Came here to say this. Album fucked me up when I first heard it. One of the darkest, heaviest albums.
@@markshadows3667 I never listened to the album up until a few years ago. wtf did I miss the last 25 years 🤦🏽♂️
Ooohhh, true a smoky indeed! Great, angry album. Although I still laugh when listening to TGST/first song when it's just angry angry as fuck then inexplicably goes into an extended blues boogie jam to end the song😂 I love it but!
I've always been a rock fan but I love country now just as much if not more. I think it works so good together too
I will say that Sending you strength by the band Means is one of the best hardcore albums out of Canadia...
I just wanna say: Bleed from Within man.. They hit different. Great metalcore band
Maybe a hot takeout I don't think Slipknot are that heavy. I don't consider speed to equal heavy.
The Killdozer band that inspired the grunge bands to go record with Butch Vig is heavier than anything Slipknot ever released.
But ultimately, my vote goes to doom bands like Monolord, Cough, and Windhand for heaviest.
What you said about Rap is EXACTLY whats going on with radio friendly Country
Reign in blood. Nuff said.
Metallica Black Album, an F1 car could pass at 233 mph playing it, and you would be able to say "That guy is listening to the Black Album" just by that amazing hi-hat sound (and overall drum sound)... best production ever... imho
Since ive been listening to music in about 2000 to now, hip hop has defined my life; from the culture to fashion, hip hop was the most creative thing about from 2000 to 2015.
I too am an idiot 👍
07:28 fkn love that song Finn. Id rock it at a red light!
I just want to throw in The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails into the mix of heaviest albums.
I'd love to know your thoughts on hyphy.
Mac Dre, The Pack, Team Knoc, Keak da Sneak, The Jacka, Mistah FAB, etc.
You wanna talk about rap as a cultural movement... there is no genre of rap more innovative or influential to a regional culture than hyphy.
It was cool! Also loved jerkin
Hey, I love you Finn and your hot takes
“August Burns Red - Messengers” gets my vote ✅
Behemoth - Evangelion is the heavest album imo.
Iowa is definitely the heaviest mainstream album of all time. would definitely be top 5 overall.
Its not anything revolutionary but what Peelingflesh is doing is just satisfying to listen to. They seem to be trying to merge hip hop and slamming death metal at least to a degree. They arent the only ones doing this but none of the other bands sound as good.
Can we get an animated series where Finn voices an overly friendly dog?
Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
Was my gateway to truly heavy music. Iconic to me.
I had to grow up with folks that loved Country and rock. Thank god for it
Måsstaden Under Vatten makes Iowa sound like Jack Johnson
An interesting point about Canadian music: their government has told radio stations and television broadcasts to prioritize artists from their own country. Canadians talk about canadian music because it’s what the media is being forced to promote and everyone there is being exposed to it.
I wouldnt say that all rock/metal fans hate country. I like both country and metal... Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Reba, Garth Brooks. I also like some pop like Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars.
You gotta remember how much influence country had on grunge and rock in the 90s too.
Yeah, old school grandpa country is somewhat accepted by rock fans
Iowa is absolutely the heaviest album of all time. Regardless of the current state of the band or whatever else has been made by anyone else, nothing will ever top the pure sincere rage and cathartic vitriol that is just bleeding out of that album. They somehow channeled ALL of the very intense negative emotions that they were feeling at the time into one dark cohesive portrait. It’s akin to witnessing an exorcism. Iowa is the GOAT. Full stop.
Also, Dogs are and will always be better. They have the moniker of “Man’s Best Friend” for a damn good reason. And it’s not even close.
No way it's heavier than pure Death Metal or Deathcore (2 awful genres) but def agreed when it comes to heaviest Nu Metal or Mainstream album.
Every Deathcore band has it beat, and Knocked Loose + Kublai Khan’s entire discography have it beat as well.
Give a listen to Dillinger Escape Plan’s Calculating Infinity
Other than Iowa, the closest we got to having truly heavy metal go mainstream was Dimmu Borgir's In Sorte Diaboli. Topping at #43 in the US, it was also the first time since a-ha with "Take On Me" that a Norwegian band cracked the top 50 in the US. Otherwise, yes, Iowa is the heaviest album to go properly mainstream. Which is totally (sic). I'm pretty excited to see them on the 27th, NGL...
It seems when super heavy-fast bands, slow down, or go into harmony breaks and stuff shows real talent and creates an ambiance.
YO! Quero Taco Bell. I love my Xchihuaha💯
W.A.P. was the last mainstream hip hop song that caught my attention, both in good way and bad way. Doja Cat maybe had some interesting ones, but not nearly as impactful and omnipresent as W.A.P.
Or IDK, was Old Town Road after or before W.A.P.? Idk about the chronology, but this was definitelly the last “era” of hip hop that was interesting to me, if nothing else, at least it was funny.
You can equate rap music these days as Reality Tv with music playing in the background.
Hell come to Oklahoma, the yall-ternative stuff is big in southern states lol. We listen to Knocked Loose and Koe Wetzel over here 😂
rap has been in the glam metal era for years now! much like hair bands - it used to have HUGE songs that fucking dominated the charts! now it's about lifestyles and soon-to-be legacy artists. it was more than just glam but everything was very 80s anyways. loved the trap era quite a bit but it's dying hardd rn and you can tell.
Iowa I always thought was definitely the heaviest Slipknot album but you took it further! Iowa is one of the heaviest ever!
A lot of serious "rock" fans realize that the shared force in both rock and country musics is guitar mastery. The Nashville Telecaster players are uniformly SICK!
Funny I was just listening to Quo Vadis, thinking of how Day Into Night runs circles around most other melodeath albums. Also, Terminal Sleep from Australia is gonna be one of the biggest hard-core bands in a few years
Your description of a dog was on point.
snakes in the pit looks like jared dines' headbanging with regular type hairstyle
Also can we talk about Maroon, have you ever watched any of their videos? I did not expect such a euro look. Same as Glass Casket
Canadian content laws are the reason why Canadians like more Canadian bands. Radio/TV had to have like ~30% Canadian content which was designed to protect US dominance in the marketplace (because generally US music is better or at least has more marketing budget behind it). So yes we have been overexposed and truthfully a lot of the Cancon (as it's called) isn't that great, but all that being said, Alexisonfire is pretty good
Last major rap song was Hot in Herrreee from Nelly 20 years ago lololol
Adding s to words is heavy in the Midwest
3:46 was that djenty country riffs?!
I think raps glam era was the early 2000s we are in the nu metal period. Where technical ability is trumped by a feeling or vibe
You need to check out the UK artist Ren. He is bringing old school hip-hop back back and reinventing it just enough that you can't look away. His album Sick Boi went #1 in the UK with no tour to support it. He just released a Retake of Nas-Halftime that is blowing people away. Also check out his Beastie Boys tribute "What You Want". Then look at his musical talent with the busking band he was a part of, The Big Push and Sam Tompkins. The man is the love child of Jimi, Sting and MCA
I will say… Canadian prog techdeath is next level.
4:50, does the hybrid count?
iowa may not be the ""heaviest"" album but it is certainly the most "angry sounding" album of all time imo. it perfectly sonically encapsulates that feeling of being so unbelievably mad that you just wanna scream for hours and punch a wall. like, for example, when you need to pace around the room because you're so angry you physically cannot sit still.
that feeling is what iowa SOUNDS like
I consider some Otep songs heavier than anything Slipknot has done tbh. Like "Blood Pigs".
But heaviest album I've listened in full? Either Iowa or Sveas Tras for sure
You make me laugh and I appreciate you💜😄💀
I personally would nominate From Mars to Sirius. Absolutely crushing.
Alexisonfire are really awesome though. Imo they're really the first band that standardized screaming/growls and proper singing in their songs. And then 10 years later every post hardcore band does it.
3:33 Yes this is a great pop song and my gf loves it too 😊
In terms of heavy I think kubli khan tx is up there, like comparing that hardcore to most metal bands of the 80’s or 90’s it isn’t even close. I’d also throw in a bid for queens of the Stone Age, they’ve got some fairly heavy riffs and shit, but also bring those killer lyrics, that’s where the real heaviness can be found. A lot of their early stuff is very reminiscent of Iowa, with the same dark and satanic lyrical themes. Go listen to song for the deaf and tell me that shit ain’t dark
Seeing Rodeo Dr. being played by Finn McKenty as he claims “this is the better side of things” may have just made my day. Something about seeing a fellow Iowa lover / metalhead randomly not-not enjoying your favorite deepcuts on the opposite spectrum of music is just wholesome & surreal. Love you Fat Dick Finn (FDF)
The only reason Canadians like Canadian music so much is because to radio forces them to listen to it. They have to play it
why canadians love canadian bands from the alexisonfire era and before: alot of them were pushed on Much Music , because they were discovered and produced by that very same tv station and pushed on the big shiny tunes albums which were highly sold and promoted all over canada. they were all industry plants if you look it up
Speaking of Canadia as a Georgian, I legit think you should check out The Dirty Nil. They’re like Blink meets Zeppelin and it’s great
My favorite Slipknot album!
Music of all the different forms of art creates the deepest emotional connection to our soul. So if you insult a certain band or song someone likes, people will take that as a personal insult.
disasterpiece has a line that says "im gonna slit your throat and fuck the wound"
i still cant wrap my head around how iowa peaked top 5 or better in so many regions with lyrics like that
love you finn
When Finn brought up hot topics in the beginning, I thought he was gonna reference Wendy Williams (since her show had a whole things about "hot topics")
9:17 what about Master of Puppets?
Yeah I used to struggle with my identity too
So I agree on the whole European take bit as far as metalcore Australia kills it but that's about it. On country o gotta say I love nick nolan,blues sarcinno mainly dark country but I'm a metal head through an through but I love alot of different music but country is my second go to
