I’m a newbie but i really like Take No Prisoners by Megadeth
Pure White Poison (Masshiro na Doku) - Utsu-P
Murmaider
“Laser Cannon Death Sentence” by Dethklok
Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth.
Tornado of souls for me
Painkiller by Judas Priest will always have a special place in my heart due to the hours 11 year old me spent air-guitaring that solo.
Arbitrary choice, but Wherever I May Roam by Metallica never gets old for me.
I definitely didn’t quote this song in my highschool yearbook grad comment…
Good! That would be really embarrassing if we both quoted Metallica songs in our HS yearbooks. Which we definitely did not.
Red Handed Denial - One More Night
Or
Spiritbox - Circle With Me
All time? Probably Dream Theater’s A change of seasons. But there’s way too many to choose from.
Katatonia - Old heart Falls
Caligula’s Horse - Marigold
Soen - Martyrs
Swallow the sun - Falling World
Haken - 1985
Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
Rotting Christ - Ze nigmar
Draconian - Daylight Misery
Paradise lost - faith divides us /death unites us
Leprous - Rewind
Eons Enthroned - Stormblessed (for fans of the stormlight archive)
Rhapsody (of fire)- emerald sword
Ihsahn - Mass darkness
Gojira - Flying whales
The ocean - jurassic
Opeth - fuck… can’t even pick one… but let’s say ghost of perdition
Dragony - Magic
And many, many, many more…
One by Metallica, Ratamahatta by Sepultura, The Trooper by Iron Maiden are all up there
Special mention for Gimme Chocolate by Babymetal
Woo hoo Babymetal. Have you heard Electric Cowboy x Babymetal song Ratatata? That’s a banger!
Changes literally every day! At the moment I’m loving Witch Club Satan’s new single You Wildflower.
Also (sorry for the spam), I co-present a metal radio show which plays music from explicitly antifascist and/or anti-bigotry artists called Contra Odium.
Thats a hard one. But im a sucker for Metropolis part 1 by dream theater.
One by Metallica
Yah, which one?
If you haven’t heard it, theres a Chris Cornell mashup he did by putting the lyrics from Metallicas One to the music of U2s One.
Apparently he was looking up the wrong lyrics one time then challenged himself to figure it how to make it work.
I’d argue this is a precursor to metal rather than metal itself. Still a great song that everyone should listen to.
Also Iron Man
Aunt Lisa by Mastodon
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.
