goes hard should be on the right, seems more intuitive.

Anything with "higher"on the left (goes harder) just seems wrong. Arbitrary choice, sure, but it's what I'm used to.
Factorio - The search for iron. Makes you want to search for iron.
You can put Weezer anywhere on this chart and be correct.

Calibrating...
Q1: Gwar, Mick Gordon
Q2: Hotline Miami OST
Q3: Nightwish
Q4: Plantasia
That's not my connotation for Nightwish, but only because I learned of them by playing Littlebigplanet 2 haha (Whoever Owns the Night)
They slap though!
I was hearing them in the 00s, and their sound had a deliciously sad vibe to my ear.
I concur, nice list
TOOL would be EVERYWHERE.
Suicidal tendencies is definitely, want to kill yourself/ others right in the middle, and goes hard.
Melancholy and the infinite sadness by the Smashing pumpkins for wants to make you kill yourself but doesn't go hard.
Metallica, Master of puppets for goes hard, but makes you want to kill yourself.
Andrew Jackson Jihad for goes hard, and makes you want to kill other people. Mostly thinking of "fuck white peope".
Following Cartesian quadrants:
Q1: Sunn O)))
Q2: Electric Wizard
Q3: Nine Inch Nails, specifically The Fragile
Q4: Porcupine Tree - Signify
Extra credit:
Left side: King Gizzard, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
Right side: Delicate Steve, Lemon Jelly, The Orb - The Dream
Top: I'm kinda at a loss here, I can't think of a band that makes you want to kill but has songs that both do and don't go hard.
Bottom: Steven Wilson
Q4: Porcupine Tree
God damn if that's not spot-on.
Top: Sevendust? Depends on how harshly you judge butt-rock. Godsmack, same story. Orgy, if you'd put them that far up.
Bottom: to avoid technically repeating Porcupine Tree, I'd suggest Modest Mouse.
Note: this is following Cartesian coordinates, so it goes counter-clockwise starting with top right being Q1. I put porcupine tree in bottom right because they don't go that hard, but damn they're depressing.
Edit: Also, I haven't listened to Modest Mouse. I haven't listened to anything depressing in a while. Music plays a big role in my mood, and there's enough depressing stuff going on right now.
I am familiar with Cartesian coordinates. I was also left speechless by "Stop Swimming."
And if you're avoiding pessimistic music, yeah, you can give Modest Mouse a miss. Raucous! Cynical. Occasionally real fuckin' dark. I keep starting to recommend parts of an album and then remembering the album is titled Good News For People Who Like Bad News.
In the vicinity, but much more nuanced and upbeat, there's Death Cab For Cutie... irony be damned. The lead singer was half of The Postal Service for their one album, of which "Such Great Heights" is unreservedly delightful and positive. Death Cab's discography proper is downright jaunty. The subject matter's just melancholy, at best.
Looking forward to checking these ones out, thanks
Fyi Lemon Jelly and Delicate Steve are artists, not albums. I just realized they were listed in a way that might make you think they were albums by The Orb. Also, those three don't really make you want to kill anything tbh, but they're pretty chill and don't really go hard.
I'd give the top of extra credit to Danny Brown or Swans
I keep cracking up at Delicate Steve being perfect for the doesn't go hard slider, though.
FUCK I can't believe I didn't think of SWANS. I love Soundtracks for the Blind.
Also Delicate Steve keeps popping into my head because of the joe cappa animation. It's such a funny video.
God I love that video.

Where would Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins be on this?
Oh my god, I think you found the true center.
Imagine Drago
i must break you.
I went with using the actual image before running out of space and realizing text was better
Edit: here's more:
I ran out of motivation and didn't write anything
I ran out of motivation
yet you didn't put Bury the Light on the chart
I'd like to submit Rick Astley - Never Gonna Stop (not to be confused with his earlier song, and def worth a listen) as slightly southwest of the center

Thunder goes on the top-right. Yes, this is a threat, Imagine Dragons.
Is there a song that will fit exactly at the origin?

I'm not sure where to categorize it:
Drowning Pool - Bodies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04F4xlWSFh0
Top left?
Probably, yes. But I'm not a native speaker so maybe it has some second meaning like let us cuddle on the floor.
That's an interesting take. After reviewing the lyrics I don't think so though lol

Human Target Practice - Hail the Sun literally at the end of top left, the entire album is beautiful (Wake - Hail the Sun)
Sour Times -Portishead.
Low Key Suicidal.
Frankly, most of music sung by Beth Gibbons is borderline suicidal. Even the "happy" songs.
Goes Hard <---> Goes Home
"Closing Time", on the x-axis, all the way to --> Goes Home
Top left: Ænima by Tool
Upper left is command and conquer soundtracks.
Bo En - My Time Goes hard and makes you wanna kill yourself
