Like okay, obviously death metal or mopey sad emo rock or whatever is heavy. I want to know what's heavy that doesn't depend on heavy guitar riffs and loud distortion. I want something that sounds dark and grim, or that makes you want to jump up and break shit, or just cry.

I'm inspired by the Run the Jewels album RTJ4, which is all rap and hip hop but the subject matter is seriously furious and the beats slam harder than many metal albums I've heard. It's destruction music.

Another I love is 16 Horespower's Sackcloth n Ashes, which sounds like bluegrass and country music for the End Times, sinister and bleak.

Edit: I'm loving all these suggestions, more than I'll even be able to handle haha. Also loving how many of them are definitely comfortably inside the "rock and metal" territory which kinda feels like cheating (someone said Soundgarden?? lol), but they're reminding me of some good stuff I've neglected so win-win.
