The genesis of absolute sonic violence: Devin Townsend's chaotic, genre-shattering 1995 masterpiece returns heavier, louder, and more unhinged than ever!
Before they became an unstoppable four-piece extreme metal powerhouse, Strapping Young Lad was the chaotic, unhinged solo brain-child of mastermind Devin Townsend (following his stint fronting Steve Vai's Sex & Religion).
Originally unleashed in 1995, Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing defies simple genre boundaries. It fuses hyper-aggressive thrash and death metal with industrial noise, hardcore punk breakbeats, and avant-garde madness. Driven by frantic polyrhythms and Townsend's iconic, feral vocal delivery, this debut laid the aggressive foundation for a legacy that would redefine modern extreme metal.
