Most Metal Songs

The only thing At The Gates is good for is influencing a shitton of half-assed metalcore bands. Slaughter of the Soul is the only good thing they ever did, and while it is one of those "great for the time" things, I personally don't think it's stood the test of time very well. Death on the other hand, is severely FTW. Morbid Angel is also quite amazing.
 
It's ridiculously Power Metal is what it is, because it involves tight, brightly colored clothes in magical forests...

AND UNICORNS!!!
 
why not? Death's version shits all over priest's. And painkiller was 1990, not late 80's.

Well, in my opinion, the Death version doesn't shit all over the Priest version. It does justice to a classic and the way they covered it was super awesome. But I don't think one is "better" than the other, both have their quarks about them. The Priest version is awesome because its the original awesome Painkiller, kick ass song period. As for the Death version, They covered so well they practically made the song their own. You probably like the Death version more enjoyable because you like Death's style of playing more than Priest's which is totally understandable, but you shouldn't really be saying that it shits all over the original version. But wtv, you can say what you want :) .

It shits all over the original.


:kickass: :lol: but seriously, it is of course only my oppinion. I think Chucks vocals are actually more powerful, since they're kind of screams mixed with singing mixed wiht growling. Fits the song better.

Don't worry, i have unpopular views on cover songs in general. I think the Cradle of Filth cover of hallowed be thy name shits all over maiden. Not because i like CoF (in fact, i can honestly say that's the only thing they've ever done that i remotely enjoy. that and midian minus troll vox) but because they made the song darker and less "happy" and upbeat. Maiden wrote a great song, CoF gave it the atmosphere that the subject matter demands.

By the way Brandon, i send out the BG shirt today along with 2 burn discs. I think there's like 26 albums between the two, so have fun bro :headbang:
 
I am going to contribute to this thread and say a very metal song would be Bal-Sagoth's "Hammer of the Emperor". Great song
