Share the most intense, powerful music you know.

[smithy_2045]

Death Cab For Cutie's I Will Possess Your Heart really resonates with me, almost too much.

 

[bificommander]

And Yuki Kajiura is also awesome. See for instance


or its more upbeat version

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

'nuff said.

I want to make a playlist out of them. Please share your favorite intense songs/pieces.

Cool playlist to make!
I would consider these intense..ish:

 

[ZehMadScientist]

You asked for intense, sir, you get intense

 

[Scrustle]

Shin-Ken (parts I & II) by Persefone:


The whole album is incredibly intense but I think the title tack is probably the best example.


A Sight to Behold by Gojira:


Does a great job of building up to something very powerful.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Ah, powerful music is what i like best



















I should probably stop now

 

[Formica Archonis]

Intense? Hmmm. How about when Peer Gynt was trying to escape from In the Hall of the Mountain King?




Everyone knows O Fortuna, from Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, part of Orff's Carmina Burana:


But I prefer the second half, Fortune Plango Vulnera. It's repetitive, but still good.




But if you mean intense lyrics, try Mike Batt's "Soldier's Song". It was a punch in the gut when I first heard it.

rush just rush... any of their songs. might post more non-rush later...

 

[BGH122]

Intense? Powerful? I declare...

[HEADING=1]It's time for classical music!!![/HEADING]

Chi il bel sogno

- For that ridiculously emotional refrain and giant crescendo


Ach, so fromm

- Simply for the way it ends


Four Seasons, Winter

- Massive rushing tempo and great charging feeling throughout

There's some good stuff in here. Especially props to the APC version of Imagine.
But most of you seem to be confusing loud with powerful.


Ladies and gentlemen, I give you V.A.S.T. (Visual Audio Sensory Theater):

I'm not gonna go all internet hipster here and shit you into believing I saw them when they were in school or whatever... Never heard of this band in my life, but I'm glad you shared. I've only seen Pretty When You Cry at present, but you're spot on, powerful is indeed one word I would use to describe that. And people say music videos don't have any balls these days!!

Quite happy to share. VAST is awesome, and people should know it.

 

[Suicida1 Midget]

Srry i suck with imbedding.

Dialectic Chaos-Megadeth
Shine Down-Godsmack
Hallowed Be Thy Name-Iron Maiden
Dragula-Rob Zombie
You're Gonna Go Far, Kid-The Offsprin
Any of the Metallica instrumentals.
These are some of the songs i remember being blown away by.

 

[Spydercake]

Only one queen song in the entire thread? for shame, escapist. We must change it

Brings me to tears everytime.

Another song from Night at the Opera.

;-; hits close to home.

Storm by Godspeed You Black Emperor from the album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven.
