Most Hard-Driving Music?

[robphy]

I don't understand the words... but I like the song and the intensity.

Here's another one from Japan

The type of music being described in the OP has not much to do with "hard driving".
Septic Death was an attempt to out do bands like early Napalm Death, but while I enjoy it I would not drive hard to it.
For hard driving music I would turn to White Zombie or even Deep Purple.
If you want chaotic but melodic then the genius of Clown Core is a good place to look. However for true chaos you need to turn to performance art type nonsense such as Yoko Ono or Torturing Nurse. Neither of these would I consider to be "hard driving", just self-absorbed randomness for the sake of gaining attention.
In which case I put this forward as premium crazyfest insanity mixed by Andy Rehfeldt (which actually makes both tracks more listenable).

I'm afraid I subjectively agree. OTOH it is the OP's thread, hence my apologies for "derailing" it.

EDIT: ... and as to your example of "hard driving".... My mileage does vary a bit!

Not sure if this link will work. OK, there *was* audio. Turn down the volume before playing it.

Man these DJs just keep getting younger.

And something as rare as a self-proclaimed Christian heavy metal band (Devildriver - End of the Line):



and of course Meshuggah - Rational Gaze:



Or maybe rather Millenium Cyanide Christ:

Christian metal?? That's a new one to me. Rock and roll is all about music and other stuff not particularly Christian.
With the exception of love, you see a 6 old trying to dance head bang when you are playing, that's just great. (Family rock festival)

This was a roll out for a new number possibly.

Which became this. Before you raise this, yes this a Scandinavian nights video with a Made in Japan audio.

Look for other versions if you want, but the meaning of the subject title fits for "hard driving".

Here's some classier intermittently hard driving music.



Imagine you're riding in a carriage trying to escape a gang of highwaymen. In such situations it could be prudent to equip the footman with a blunderbuss.

By the way I think it is silly to have the chorus sit there silently for three movements. Western classical music is full of such weird traditions. Even kabuki theater is more flexible.

On second thought it makes more sense than having them sit backstage for those three movements. So maybe it isn't silly.
