You have really bad choices! Lol but one good one.

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here does it for me.

shipwrecked fontier pioneer - arcturus
the coffin ships - primordial

Yep, spot-on! Sounds particularly stunning in 5.1 where you can hear clearly the different instruments coming in around the room before it builds up to the Opeth-influenced in the middle and eases back down with Mike's stunning guitar solo

 

[MetalManCPA]

Since Ghost of Perdition is my favorite song by any band, it gets my vote.

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Dear God, that's a tough question!

Well, there are a few, I'll probably edit more in later as I remember them, but here are the ones off the top of my head:

Porcupine Tree - 'The Start of Something Beautiful' (anything off Deadwing, really... album of the year IMO)
Strapping Young Lad - 'Love?'/'Skeksis' (both awesome, 2nd best album of the year...although I listen to it more then Deadwing))
Kaiser Chiefs - 'I Predict A Riot' (technically last year, but reissued twice this year)
Elbow - 'Forget Myself'
Opeth - 'Ghost Of Perdition'
Bright Eyes - 'First Day Of My Life'
Cradle Of Filth - 'Nemesis'
Paradise Lost - 'Shine'
Editors - 'Bullets'
Pelican - 'Sirius'
Arcade Fire - 'Rebellion (Lies)'/'Wake Up
Trivium - 'Like Light To Flies'

LOTS more.

Nile - Lashed to the Slave Stick

Ulver - In the Red

 

[Forest-of-October]

Nile - Lashed to the Slave Stick

HELL! YES!

Fiends, Criminals, Slaves, Blasphemers. The word of Ra is against you!

 

[opeth_353]

Akercocke - Words.. or Intractable
Taake - Hordaland Doedskvad I

 

[Kerry King]

Nevermore - This Godless Endeavour

'But before.... before you slam that door, tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this fucking life is for...' Not to mention a slice of guitar utopia by Loomis during the latter bit of the song.

KFK
