Metal Anthem for your Island in the Sun

[JayKeeley]

OK so your Disney cruise sank, and you've drifted on to some remote empty island which you now claim as your own, "because you stuck your flag in it".

Now all you need is a Metal Anthem to best represent your newly founded one-man nation.

Just one song is all you're allowed. That's it. The one song that captures the very essence of your island, of your very being. Yes, indeed.

:Spin:

Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

Badass riff, fitting theme, and great for hot climates (I'm assuming this island is tropical).

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, island is tropical - white sandy beaches, palm trees. Think 'Castaway'.

Are Led Zeppelin metal by the way? Hmmmmm......disobeying the rules already are we??!!

 

[NAD]

The Immigrant Song is so god damn metal! The Beavis and Butt-head voice-riff is the litmus test for whether a song is metal, and this one certainly is! Dah dun dun DAH duhn, dah dun dun DAH duhn...

Sepultura - Arise

This could work too, if the island had a bit of ye olde post-apocalyptic feel to it, plus Sepultura makes great warm weather music. Then the whole inspirational theme behind the song, and blah blah blah...

True that.

Sepultura - Arise

You mean, fucking Sepultura?

 

[NAD]

I'd prefer Sepulfuckingtura meself.

 

[JayKeeley]

OK ok, I have to choose my anthem now. I'll basically pick the greatest metal song of all time:

IRON fucking MAIDEN - Hallowed Be Thy Name

 

[Black Winter Day]

Dead - KHANATE

 

[Demonspell]

Going with the desert island theme, one of the following:

Into Eternity - Isolation
Nevermore - Lost
Megadeth - Devils Island
Fates Warning - Island In The Stream
Devin Townsend - Nobody's Here
Dark Tranquillity - Alone
My Dying Bride - A Sea To Suffer In

and not metal, but it works perfectly: Pink Floyd - Marooned

 

[NAD]

Megadeth - Devils Island

Good one.

 

[SonOfNun]

Bloodbath's "Cry My Name" sounds good for now, especially since I'm listening to it at the moment which always helps.

Aeternus - Sworn Victory
