Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing is the debut album from Canadian extreme metal outfit Strapping Young Lad, originally released in 1995.

Driven by the singular vision of Devin Townsend, the album introduced the band’s chaotic blend of industrial metal, extreme aggression and dark humour that would later define the Strapping Young Lad sound.

Balancing crushing riffs with mechanical intensity and abrasive energy, Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing laid the groundwork for the band’s later landmark releases and remains an essential early chapter in the SYL catalogue.
