Do You Feel It? by Chaos Chaos. It was used in a Rick and Morty episode where Rick tried to kill himself. <youtube=-q3RgbeQ-QY>

It's honestly not that great of a song, but it was very moving when I watched the episode.

Puts most of the modern music I've heard to shame. Swaying even before the voices began.

Manowar - Heart of Steel


From a band that made its name known by all the power metal ballads and strong vocals, here's a song which takes all that and perfects the style.

Well, this one gave me some serious reactions.

Apart from that, the cover Disturbed made of The Sound of Silence was a fucking masterpiece and really blew me away. I'm not a fan of the band and I'm a bit annoyed by the vocal editing(his low notes doesn't sound right and I've yet to find a video where he does them live), but overall the video and the song is mesmerising.

I liked all of the other songs on this album, but this is the only one that really hit me the first time I heard it. I haven't become tired of it yet.

Too many to list honestly. Music is one of the most emotionally impacting things in my life. It's a regular event for the songs in my playlist to bring me to tears as I listen to them, even after the first time.

I watched Sound! Euphonium a few months back and it reminded me why I used to like orchestra music so much. Had the orchestra version of the opening basically on repeat constantly for the past couple of days.
I wouldn't say I was stunned by hearing the euphonium itself, but I was pretty surprised to find out it was the name of an instrument. I'd genuinely never heard of it before I watched the anime, I just assumed it was some catchy word made up for the title.

Leviathan - The Smoke of Their Torment.

I bloody love a heavy dose of atmosphere, and when a black/death metal band can pull it of it's a win-win situation for me.


It's no Anaal Nathrak's Ashes Screaming Silence, but it is still freaking awesome.

The drum solo that made me realize I was never going to amount to anything as a drummer.

Someone embed this for me.

That's Santana at Woodstock playing "Soul Sacrifice".

I've been on an Enforcer binge ever since I heard that, which was 2-3 weeks ago. And that's the first I've heard of Enforcer. Turns out I like every single one of their tracks.

While I'm at it - another instrumental track from them:

Several great orchestral tracks have done this for me, but I suppose the one that always sticks out in my mind is "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" by Two Steps From Hell. To me, this is what happens when you merge the concepts of power and beauty and transpose the result into song.

I already fellate this band pretty often and I've linked plenty of songs from them in music threads here. They never fail to impress.

A little warning for this song. It does involve violence, murder, suicide, and rape. If you dislike the mention of any of these then this song may not be for you.
