I'm bored, it's 5 am so what the hell


Awesome melodies in the beginning, followed by a heavy as shit riff at around 1 minute mark, and the awesome humppa / techno part nearing the end, this track represents everything I loved about Amorphis' earlier music. As much as I love all of their music, their earlier stuff just had some sort of magic in it, Tales and Elegy in particular.


Insanely atmospheric track, and at about 7:23 starts one of the best vocal performances i've heard, incredibly emotional yet not sounding like some depressed vocalist making girly screams. Too bad after it comes the dull interval which completely breaks the atmosphere, would have been easily my favorite song every if it wasn't for that


Extremely slow and heavy with the dreamy keyboards, the track turns from the extremely depressing sound to the beautiful acoustic part in the middle. This is what funeral doom was supposed to be like.


A brilliantly written 30 minute track, there's mostly just the same riff throughout the whole song that gets altered in every way possible, plus the cleverly mixed in folk instruments and the extremely 'raw' and cold sound that I've yet see any other song have. Only the vocals just seem really bland, at least compared to some of Moonsorrow's other work, and while great the lyrics get recycled a lot during the song.

MANOWAR!
You are now my best friend.


UK Tour in November. Annoyed they aren't playing anywhere near me, might have to make a pilgrimage to somewhere they are playing!
I think for me to make that pilgrimage I'd have to take a month off school, fly from Canada to Britain and then secure tickets.

In light of me going to see Motorhead in 2 days...

No mention of Rob Zombie?
Also gotta be sure to throw in my all-time favorite song

Last and most importantly a song that is really fitting for this thread

Peace Sells and One are the first that come to mind, but they were already mentioned. I submit Oblivion by Mastodon, Victim of Changes by Judas Priest, Symptom of the Universe by Black Sabbath, Stargazer by Rainbow, and the Our Fortress Is Burning suite by Agalloch.

Ramstein and Ozzy Osbourne are definetly in the top with some songs such as Du Hast and Let Me Hear You Scream
And I'm sure there are many others but I'm not to varied in the heavy metal genre.

Paranoid, all the way for me.

I also have a copy of Judas Priest's Hellbent For Leather and it's actually pretty good. Makes me want to get into more of their output.

My first Priest album was going to be Point Of Entry, but my copy was a broken cassette that sounded like someone was opening and closing the door to the studio the band was recording in.

No doubt most of favorites have already been listed, but how about Thin Lizzy's Black Rose?

Technically it's hard rock, but then so's Black Sabbath. :p

EDIT: Oh! And there's Korn - Blind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGK00Q7xx-s

And Korn - Here to Stay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr3x7tS__dE
