heaviest

Maximum on scales

Heaviest is the superlative form of heavy—the most heavy among a group.

It can refer to physical weight: the heaviest box in the shipment.

It extends to intensity or severity: the heaviest fighting occurred near the border, the heaviest rainfall in decades.

In music, heaviest describes the most aggressive or distorted sound: their heaviest album yet.
