[NAD]

Openers:
Slayer - War Ensemble
Tool - The Grudge
Dissection - At the Fathomless Depths / Night's Blood
Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (parts I - V)
King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic (part I)

Closers:

Morbid Angel - Hatework
Bathory - One Rode to Asa Bay

[Stand-Ablaze]

Openers: Judas Priest - The Hellion

It got my attention straight away, It's amazing the way it runs right into Electric eye.

Closers: Slipknot - Danger, keep away.

It's not something you would ever expect from Slipknot, even with the new album sound, this is the perfect closer to an album.

i meant song specific but since we're on album openings now I'll go with the package off thirteenth step. its not really metal but its still a really cool opening song.

 

[ShadowOfDeath]

Tool - The Grudge as well
and Bishop of Hexen's intro on "Archives of an enchanted philosophy"

 

[Jezusjan]

Abattoir - Beyond the Altar

an acoustic intro on the No Safe Place album which sends shivers up my spine every time I hear it..



Destruction - Days of Confusion

another great acoustic intro to a sonic massacre

 

[_SLAYERIZED_]

there are too many but probably Hell Awaits is the most evil and heaviest intro ever!

 

[metallislayer]

I would have to say my favorite intro is Cryptopsy's Phobophile. The piano part is hauntingly beautiful, and the bass part that follows is so fun to play and sounds so nice.

 

[Nico]

Ah yes... Hell Awaits. That fucking evil.

 

[Erik]

"Black Moon Overture" is sublime.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Black Moon Overture and Hell Awaits both destroy.

that song kicks ass

 

[BlessedAreTheSick]

I don't know if you can consider it an "outro", but the last 3 minutes of "Deliverence" by Opeth is pretty hypnotic.

 

[Terrifyer]

I like the intro and outro song in Dimmu Borgir - PME

 

[Helloween]

thats hard but i know one thing is that nightwish has some killer intros

 

[Griff7272]

i like the intro/outro to Cryptopsy's None So Vile

the intro being the yelling from Exorcist 3 going into Lord Worm's scream at the start of the first song

and the outro being Bruce Campbell saying something like "go ahead and run, run home and cry to mama!"
