The best INTRO track...

[Profano]

"Black Moon Overture" the intro of Nokturnal Mortum - Goat Horns. (100% epic intro)

 

[erik@digitalmetal]

tho not really a stand alone intro, the first part of Nile's "Ramses. Bringer of war" gives me goosebumps. excellent use of Holst.

 

[bloodfiredeath]

Judas Priest - The Hellion

 

[Kinslayer]

Rhapsody-In Tenebris

 

[Voice of God]

Thy Serpent - Prometheus Unbound

 

[NAD]

My current favorite is Black Sabbath - Wheels of Confusion / The Straightener. The first 8 seconds are godlike.

 

[Paragon Belial]

The Haunted - Dark Intentions

 

[Thrash Metal Tormentor]

Kreator - Choir Of The Damned!! Great atmospheric intro before it explodes into full blast thrashing!

 

[BTK]

I think Death - Symbolic is a great opening track for one of my favourite album of all times

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

Emperor "Alsvartr/The Oath" is phenonmenal. also blinded by fear by at the gates but my personal fave is moonshield on the jester race as its my fave in flames song godamn its soooo good.

 

[Nachzehrer]

Hypocrisy - The Gathering
Testament - Beginning Of The End

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Emperor "Alsvartr/The Oath" is pretty good.

indeed , it is pure killer
another one is "I remember now" and "Anarchy X" by Queensryche
also "Ashes" by Psychotic Waltz

 

[GONETribalchemy]

I like the fire of Satanic Warmaster 'Raging Winter', the warlike sirens of JC, the electro beats of Secrets of the Moon 'Inverted Kaos Principles', the spoken opus of Deicide 'In Torment In Hell, and the whole 'I.T.D.S.' of Nile yes!

edit: etc ...

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Darkane-Calamitas

 

[Hatebreeder33]

i'll go with Emperor - Alsvartr (The Oath)

 

[Wicked Child]

Judas Priest-"The Hellion"

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I'll second The Haunted - Dark Intentions \m/

 

[SLAYER85]

War Ensemble!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SculptedCold]

Um, do you mean intro track as in ANY first track on an album?? That's a bit...open... or any track intended as an intro, and not a 'proper' song? That seems a much more appropriate question, in which case, Emperor's Alsvartr no competition. Otherwise, I haven't got a friggin' clue.

 

[HandePora]

I'd say Slayer - Angel of Death
