I’m a newbie but i really like Take No Prisoners by Megadeth
Aunt Lisa by Mastodon
Not my fav but to post something different: dir en grey - shitataru mourou https://youtu.be/TLXtwCViVQk
Murmaider
Atreyu - Bleeding Mascara, just punches you in the face with an awesome intro.
That was one of the songs that introduced me to Metalcore. I remember making a mix with that, My Last Serenade, some Folly, and some Anah Aevia, a band I can’t find anything by these days.
Quite a few, and hard to pick one, however Slania’s Song by Eluveitie is up there.
Currently it’s While we serve by Orbit Culture.
Red Handed Denial - One More Night
Or
Spiritbox - Circle With Me
The only thing they fear is you
Rip & TearBoth by Mick Gordon
Hmmm…
Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)
The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja’s and Marko’s version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette’s version.
The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)
Chop Suey (System of a Down)
Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)
Ace of spades (Motörhead)
… A bunch of stuff from Guns’n’Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours…)
Other days I’d have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, …
Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between “hard rock” and “metal”. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Since nobody mentioned them yet, Strapping Young Lad - Detox.
Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.
It’s hard to pick one, but here are a few of my favorites:
Opeth - the drapery falls
Panopticon - Cedar Skeletons
Cult of Luna - The Fall
Ashenspire - The Law of Asbestos
Fen - Fear
meshuggah - new millennium cyanide christ. great riff, great music video
Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath.
Where do you stand on “Hocus Pocus” by Focus?
Pretty good track! But maybe not as good as Weed by Weed, from the album Weed.
I like that song “Bad Company”, but I forgot who wrote it.
I don’t recall, but I’m pretty sure it’s off the Bad Company album.
I’m also a big fan of Iron Maiden, the last track on Iron Maiden, and Motörhead from the Motörhead release. But I forget who wrote those too.
I also really like Sanctuary by Elder for something modern-ish and proggy, Sweet Tooth by Intervals for something happy, or The Cromlech Gate by Enslaved for something extra heavy.
“Laser Cannon Death Sentence” by Dethklok
“it’s melodic death metal.”
