"Sledgehammer " sound ?

Ya know that sound that moves air witrh a tube amp? makes your pants leg flap and puts a fist into your solarplexis? I am sorta confused and seek your assitance. I know from waht I have learned here that there are two types of extreme sound. Correct me if I am wrong. First, there is the tight articulate Crunchy Mark Morton Lamb of God Duncan Custom Ceramic tone, which is very cutting and THEN there is the rounder less focused Chugga Chugga palm mute which is bassy and brutal and moves tons of SPL through the rig .
I am so sorry I've been posting so much but I am finalazing some guitars now. Im trying to find the most brutal Chugga Chugga PAlm mute sound on the Earth for my Peavey Rotor Mahogany guitar. Ive already decided on a Evo neck for some speed metal / shred balance , although the natural match to that would be something tighter and crunchier than what I want in the bridge, which is the wall of sound brutality and palm muting thing.
At first I was thinking Tone Zone. It does seem to be very heavy but according to that Dimarzio video of Gilbert ( the happy Winter Pterodoctyl video), he claims there is a pronouced Vowel sounfd to the Tone Zone and I hate that.
THis advice from "Alfaromeo" is pricelesss though, and just wonderd if anyone can offer anything else? ;
QUOTE-
"You said you want balls to the wall sound, but you need to see what kind of balls to the wall sound. Do you want something fat and huge and chugga chugga? or do you want something brighter, snapier, crunchier and cutting through?
If you want the first one look into SD Invader, Alternative 8 or Dimarzio Super 3. IF it's the second, look in SD Dimebucker, Dimarzio X2N, D Activator or D Activator X "
- END QUOTE
Just waht pickups are what here? Thank you so much for my putting up with my incessant bothersome posts, I am almost done.

He also wired those badboys in parallel.
Trust me, NOTHING is more THOR'S MIGHTY HAMMER MJOLNIR than the Tone Zone.

+1. The tone zone's low end is absolutely, massively THUNDEROUS. It's what you need.

Super 3 or SD Invader would fit also.
Alfaromeo is right about the 2 types of balls to the walls sound, one cutting, brighter and snapier while the other one is huge, fat and chugga chugga. The first one reminds me of Children of Bodom and the second one reminds me of Nile. A little bit more info on the guitar's woods and construction could be usefull
