“The Ecstasy of Gold”
For all the Metallica fans, the classic version of “The Ecstasy of Gold” by Ennio Morricone:

Black Sabbath, "War Pigs"
Two version of "War Pigs," a landmark in angry blues:
The song fully qualifies to the term "heavy," along with a few others like "Whola Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. The emotional charge that you get from its otherwise simple melody and rather normal pace is definitely heavier than what you would expect.

Aphex Twin - Coachella 2008
Aphex Twin is the only artist I know that can assemble a playlist that will resist full reconstitution by drum and bass forums for over two days. The Coachella 2008 mix is easily found via search engines (hint: coachela).

Ministry very clearly rocks (rocked?)
I am not attracted to industrial rock concerts in general, but I would gladly make an exception for Ministry. Their last stuff is extremely powerful. I do not think it is improving or deteriorating – as far as I can tell, all their albums feature a few very good tracks. Their last one, The Last Sucker, starts with a very good opening.
Here's the Fillmore 2008 live (find the original track first, it's also on Youtube; and obviously, remember the high quality mode in Youtube):
More of the Fillmore live, starting with my favourite Ministry track, NWO:
If you want to see what industrial rock activism looks like on stage:
Thieves (watch from 1m00s onwards, the chorus is crazy):
And the hilarious ad:
The dub version of Rio Grande Blood ends up on an incredibly good remix of “Lies Lies Lies”, check it out: “Lieslieslies (Known Unknown Lies Mix)”. Ministry is the only band to blow my brains out on first hearing; I remember staying dumbfounded after listening to “Unsung” and “Impossible” for the first time.
Apparently The Last Sucker is indeed their last album.
Bonus – Rio Grande Blood cover, with a lot of symbolism to dig out (I find the freemason reference exquisite):
