I’m a newbie but i really like Take No Prisoners by Megadeth
Murmaider
meshuggah - new millennium cyanide christ. great riff, great music video
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.
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.
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
Red Handed Denial - One More Night
Or
Spiritbox - Circle With Me
Chop Suey. I love how jarring the tempo changes are.
The Sentinel by Judas Priest
Motörhead - Overkill
Blind Guardian - Violent Shadows, Ride Into Obsession
Angra - Salvation Suicide, Nothing to Say
Twilightning - Fever Pitch
Shadow Gallery - Mystery
Dream Theater - The Root of all Evil
Mago de Oz - Molinos de Viento, El fin del Camino
Keldian - Never Existed, FTL
In Flames - Only for the weak Iced Earth - Frankestein Antioch - Where the dagger lies Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
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.
Thats a hard one. But im a sucker for Metropolis part 1 by dream theater.
