What metal songs have blown your mind?

[Mudvain_for_life]

heaven shall burn- counterweight
Lamb of god- redneck
Unearth- santicy of brothers

 

[seedofvengeance]

Bad call on the LoG- Redneck... by far their worst song.
I love LoG, but that song es no bueno.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Bodom. Artistic.

wat

Well I was basically meaning to say that the rest of their albums are good "entertainment" but nothing artistically worthwhile really. The first two almost are, though.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Children of Bodom's first three albums are catchy as hell and worth a listen every once in a while.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Colonizing The Sun(song) by TIP often blows my mind. The first time i heard the ending was fucking incredible,it sounded so strange and out of this world.

I don't really mind CoB that much, they're just boring run of the mill metal (like LoG). Their fans, though... something about Alexi inspires adoration from stupid teeny-boppers. Looking at their forum on this site makes me cringe. Of course, CoB fans seem to be ancestral enemies with Opeth fans for some reason, so maybe it's my blood to hate them

anyway fucking HOPKINS THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL is a mindblowing song. It's all metal's awesomeness and goofiness in a nutshell

man cathedral rules

Alestorm - Set Sail And Conquer - just blew my mind yesterday. Piratey awesomeness.

 

[Zephyrus]

Their best song by far. Yes, better than "Midnight Mountain" even.

I do agree that most CoB fans (well, the fanbois, anyway) are retarded... especially the "ZOEMG ALEXI" type. But the music, or, at least the first three albums and Blooddrunk, are awesome.

Also, I haven't heard any Opeth. From what I've heard from friends of mine, I'd probably like them though.

"I am Matthew Hopkins, Witchfinder"

Fucking awesome.

...and when I first heard it a few years back, Anthrax: Armed and Dangerous, just because I had written the song off as a cheesy ballad for such a long time. I decided to give it another try, and about two minutes in... BAM! The transition to ballad to all-out power/speed/whatever metal song made me nearly fall out of my chair. (I was relatively new to metal at the time, ha ha. )
