It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Question or suggestion for specific metal music type or band - slower and bass intensive (lemmy.zip)

I'm looking for something very similar to 90s Megadeth. Think "Skin of my Teeth." (Or possibly 90s Metallica or older Black Sabbath or 90s RATM.)

But with mainly the heavy low level bass, and palm muted guitar power cords, without so much of the mids or highs (like vocals and guitar solos.)

Like bass intensive but not super fast like Slayer or double-pedal drum stuff.

Any ideas?

If you want slow and bass intensive, there isn't a much better example than Meshuggah. Check out the song Rational Gaze. The first song that came to mind by that description was https://open.spotify.com/track/6qgpRSh8GbK7xkchhoaoaD

If it has to be 90s, nothing comes to mind for now.
