Ministry is pretty good. They covered Supernaut by Sabbath.. nothing spectacular though.

That was 1,000 Homo Dj's.

Basically a few musicians hanging out at Wax Trax getting drunk and having a little fun. But definitely one of the many Minsitry spinoffs.

Rammstein has a heavy grinding sound that's not too difficult.

While we're taking a walk on the dark side, check out Sisters of Mercy's "A Slight Case of Overbombing". Temple of Love is a good example of somewhat fast downstroking chunky goodness.

When you're up to a challenge, KMFDM's ADRUGAGAINSTWAR will surprise you. Gunter is a rock God.

Check out Kreator's "Extreme Aggression" and "Coma Of Souls" albums. Very, very similar to Slayer's music.
