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.

Great question, and I have two to suggest:

Cattle Battle - Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor. Builds with a punching industrial sound that's rife with Reznor's flavour, and climaxes hard with a moment of quiet before the impact.

Straight for the Sun/Desolation - Lamb of God. Intro is a quick breath and pure fury through Sun, then a seamless transition to Desolation which is a machine gun metal blast to the face.
