[Pђoenix]

So many to name but i'll just give these for now. I love the intros CoB - Towards Dead end, Wintersun - Beyond the dark sun (sweeps = ) Turisas - As torches rise and Necrophagist - Seven.

Worst intors would include Ensiferum - Guardians of fate, imo it kinda fucks up an amazing song.

 

[You Fools]

Phantom of the Opera - Iron Maiden
Walk - Pantera
The Call of Ktulu - Metallica

more later...

I really like the intro for Lords of Hypocrisy by Pagan Altar

Excellent! I'd say 'The Black Mass' as well from Pagan Altar.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Agalloch - A Celebration For The Death Of Man
Bathory - Odens Ride Over Nordland

^ First three really good intros I came across through my playlist.

[Inaphyt]

Best beginning Mortician - Axe

Worst - Cryptopsy crown of horns .... wtf son

 

[panzerfaust666]

sculpting the Throne ov Seth-behemoth
Bathroy-a fine day to die OR Blood,Fire Death

[Dragao]

Lykathea Aflame - Elvernfris - Land Where Symapthy is Air

Moonsorrow's Voimasta ja Kunniasta intro, Tyven.

Nokturnal Mortum - Goat Horns - Black Moon Overture

 

[Vossyrus]

I usually enjoy intros...only however, if the intro suits the style and mood of the album/band. Early Cradle of Filth albums, the intro's worked perfectly with the music. (Before they became cliche and used just for the purpose of having an intro).

I absolutely hate it when you hear a beautiful (atmospheric, mood indulging) intro, cleary produced, and then the next song is sloppy death metal with the ugliest, dullest production. To me intros like that serve no purpose on an album of that sort.

 

[ohiogrinder]

the beginning on the last song on Abruptum's Evil Genius...absolutely creepy!

 

[Narg n Lamb]

Nile- annihilation of the wicked, really, really nice intro

 

[Xorv]

Ebony Tears - With Tears in My Eyes

has an irish feel to it. (the intro)

 

[Ender Rises]

Beneath the Mire -- Opeth. Great, has a very desert/Arabian feel to it. Sets a great mood.

 

[IWP]

Iron Maiden - The Trooper

 

[Life Sucks]

I like the instrumental song introductions to the last two Chasm CDs.

 

[GhostofSanity]

List time!

Death - Scavenger of Human Sorrow
Death - The Philosopher
Death - Trapped In A Corner
Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father
Opeth - April Ethereal
Opeth - Master's Apprentices
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Cryptopsy - Crown of Horns
Agalloch - Falling Snow
