Swans in around '87. I honestly can't do justice to exactly how loud they actually were other than to say that MBV on the Loveless tour a few years later sounded like an 'MTV unplugged' session in comparison. My ears are still ringing some 20+ years later.
Electric Wizard aren't anywhere near as loud as the Swans were in those days, but they do manage to get this tone that virtually splits my brain in half. So, while they may not be the loudest, they're still one of the most sonically-painfull bands I've heard.
