| 25 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr_tyst3SVE A Looking in View]] [[note]] The only reason this isn't a 7 is because of the sheer musical mass of the instruments and the depressing tone, as there are no real harsh vocals present.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmOSizEukP8 God Smack]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v8vHnGRl4U Grind]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBcADQziQWY Check My Brain]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBcJiqw5aec Phantom Limb]] [[note]] Probably the closest the band has come to an outright thrash song, its one of the fastest, most aggressive riffs they've ever recorded. Unique for a band that favors a slower, more brooding sound. [[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFgAE5SgFnw Them Bones]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gRJ6jmkYc Sickman]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lp1wyk1aeQ Head Creeps]] [[note]] The outro is arguably on the very edge of a 9, but most of the song isn't quite aggressive enough.[[/note]] (Music/AliceInChains) |

| 44 | * [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=pAf2aqZGl8w 6IE.CR]] [[note]] Would be a 9 if not for the calmer, relatively subdued later parts of the song.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJS1lCtgZKY P.:NTIL]] [[note]] The intro is a 5. Then, it becomes a 6 and steadily gets heavier until it's around a 9-10. After that it settles down into a 7 until the end of the song.[[/note]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6zT3kVtpHc Second Bad Vilbel]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x3WRQPDgvo V-PROC]] [[note]] Intro starts a 6, but gets progressively heavier, peaking at 9.

Meanwhile, the occasional bouts of metalcore screaming bring the former song above a 7.[[/note]] |
| 46 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnZDHaVDMRM Ghosts, First Variation]] (Albert Ayler) [[note]] Mostly due to the atonal and noisy sax playing. Would have been off the scale when it was first released in 1965.[[/note]] |

| 51 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6PGxqrtc0M Catacombs]] [[note]] Goes up and down the scale, starting and ending at level 9.[[/note]] (Tyler Bates & Joel J. Richard, ''Film/JohnWickChapter2'' soundtrack) |

| 54 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi3sB8ROAZ0 Heart Attack Man]] (Music/BeastieBoys) [[note]] Don't let the comedic, folky intro fool you, this showcases Beastie Boys' hardcore punk side. Anyone who is only familiar with their more hip hop-oriented material is in for a surprise.[[/note]] |
| 55 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNdcFPjGsm8 Revolution 9]] [[note]] Soft 8; gets up here due to the multiple layers of sound, its chaotic and disorganized nature, and the second half of the song until around 7 minutes in. Yes, really.[[/note]] (Music/TheBeatles) |

| 60 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxd2UVIA7b4 5 Years]] [[note]] Up here due to the harsh beats and Bjork's more dramatic vocals starting from the middle.[[/note]] (Music/{{Bjork}}) |
| 61 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhTApXv4OpU Getting Stronger Remix]] (Music/BlackGryph0n & Baasik ft. Creator/MichelleCreber) [[note]] Their hardest track yet. They went full out dubstep for this one.[[/note]] |

| 63 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL8zFZD_WZ8 Methademic]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVU8VEzQG14 Symptom of the Universe (live 1978)]] [[note]] Ozzy's angry vocals in this version, and the lack of the much softer outro from the studio version, manage to push the song to this level.[[/note]] (Music/BlackSabbath) |
| 64 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrHCn69rppg Arrakis]] [[note]] Hard 8. Music/{{Noisia}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7mADamRuRI remix]] is a 10.[[/note]] (Black Sun Empire) |
| 65 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVo3DzUbpH4 Stolen Omen]] [[note]] Probably their heaviest song as of yet, thanks to Andy's death growls.[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRjYlcPA5bk Faithless]] [[note]] The Double Bass kick and harsh riffing prevent this song from falling to a 7.[[/note]] (Music/BlackVeilBrides) |
| 66 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vnf0McFrgg Into the Storm]] (Music/BlindGuardian) |
| 67 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKubAuffiIg Je Me Perds]] (Music/BloodRedShoes) [[note]] The hardcore punk sound and the distorted screamed vocals helps keep the song this high, which is unusual for Blood Red Shoes.[[/note]] |
| 68 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oi-8xl7uZs Freedom]] (Music/BloodStainChild) [[note]] If it wasn't for the trance elements, this would ''easily'' be a 10.[[/note]] |

| 70 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2KBIs__91s Reefer Sutherland]] (Music/{{Bongripper}}) [[note]] The song would classify as a 9 or 10, but the quiet section at around 7 minutes in prevents it from going higher on the list.[[/note]] |
| 71 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5WxZNIpszs Guided Relaxation Dub]] (Borgore) |

| 74 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKS4duPqNyo Throw It All Away]] (Everett Bradley, ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' soundtrack) [[note]] The initial part after the intro is a 9, but it gets somewhat cleaner as it goes on.[[/note]] |
| 75 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tA2n-o7jms Live at the Sandopolis]] (Braincells) |
| 76 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_OHvffAOmA Shadow Moses]] [[note]] Borderline 9 for its {{djent}}-influenced riffing.[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4XVbfDb-NI Chelsea Smile]] [[note]] A borderline 9, but for [[CarefulWithThatAxe entirely different reasons.]][[/note]] (Music/BringMeTheHorizon) |
| 77 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcIisAwtR6s Into the Black]] (The Bronx) [[note]] An example of HardcorePunk that reaches this level due to ThrashMetal influences.[[/note]] |
| 78 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnSekPSTCKs Great Grandfather's Death]] [[note]] The intro is a 1-2, while the extratone part is a 10.[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnPxiyrh6fs End This.]] [[note]] Would probably be a borderline 11 if not for the softer ambient sections.[[/note]] (Brunatny) |

| 81 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB0RKBfwJoo Nakayubi]] (Music/BuckTick) [[note]] In the MediaNotes/MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness, though, this would easily be a 9-10.[[/note]] |

| 85 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KKYJD09qCk Unfit For Human Consumption]] (Music/{{Carcass}}) [[note]] The thrashy guitar sound keeps it from a 9.[[/note]] |

| 87 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o3cYMXgaP0 Switchback]] [[note]] The intro is a hard 2, which then transitions abruptly to an 8. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvg-6iV4xK0 Detroit 2000 remix]] is also here.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uehlvMZ47TE I Believe You]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7HJnwRklEA Own Little World]] [[note]] Both are borderline 9.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gic37Xk29Yk Narrow Escape]], [[https://youtu.be/pqTVUPGZZj0 A Matter of Time]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzaynIuDw6c Shapeshifter]] (Music/{{Celldweller}}) |
| 88 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3qJHARJbqw Jesus Freak (DC Talk cover)]] (Chasing Victory) [[note]] Too slow with too many quiet parts to be a 9, but the general abrasiveness keeps it above a 7.[[/note]] |
| 89 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ANwPDv0Tw Escape Wavefold]] (Music/TheChemicalBrothers, ''Film/{{Hanna}}'' soundtrack) [[note]] Probably one of the heaviest songs the duo has produced; it even reaches 10 at one point.[[/note]] |

| 91 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAR-wJN8bNE&t=32m29s B2]] ([[Music/OneohtrixPointNever Chuck Person]]) [[note]] A very distorted loop of Teddy Pendergrass' "Love T.K.O." A hard 8 due to the distortion and pitchshifting applied, causing atonality. Becomes a borderline 10 at the climax because of the amount of layering and even ''heavier'' distortion. The latter half of the track is a 3.[[/note]] |

| 104 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8jOhqOsouM Caledonia]] (Cromagnon) [[note]] This song is very difficult to fit on the modern scale, though it's arguably at least a hard 8 for the vocals alone. Back in 1969, it would have went [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale WELL BEYOND level 11.]][[/note]] |

It momentarily reaches 10 before it ends at levels 5-6, and is averaged out here.[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW7WfdTuth8 Rock 'n' Roll]] [[note]] Starts at 3; the initial noisy part is a 6, which turns into a borderline 8 and then a 9 before dropping down to 1, gradually moving to 11, and ending at a borderline 4.

| 125 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBbTYaM52YY Carnal Malefactor]] (Music/DeathspellOmega) [[note]] A comparatively light song from a band known for making mostly level 11 BlackMetal. Without the lengthy Old Church Slavonic chant interlude this would probably be a 9, but it's still too melodic, slow, and chilled out to reach a 10, even with the harsh vocals. On the other hand, the metal parts are probably still too heavy for this to qualify as anything below an 8. A SurprisinglyGentleSong by this band's standards nonetheless.[[/note]] |

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ed0098y6CQ Live versions]] can go up to a soft 9 thanks to less emphasis on the synths, more emphasis on the band's HarshVocals, and the repetition of the breakdown overshadowing the "cleaner" portions of the song.[[/note]] |
