What metal songs have blown your mind?

[waif]

Edguy - Trinidad

 

[Einherjar86]

As of late:

Kiuas- The Decaying Doctrine

 

[Onder]

I wish Watching From A Distance would be reissued

Me too man, me too.

You don't have that album? Is it sold out or you can't get it? I want to buy it aswell and it's for 428Kč here, which is 26,5$.

 

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

I've got it on mp3.

 

[byrne]

I have nothing to do atm. So what the hell, I'll try to get a pretty complete (long) list.

Aeternus - Sentinels of Darkness
Agalloch - Hallways of Enchanted Ebony
At the Gates - TRITSIO (start to finish), Gardens of Grief, first half of WFIKTBD
Amorphis - Black Embrace
Bathory - A Fine Day to Die
Black Sabbath - Into the Void and Symptom of the Universe (both were years ahead of their time)
Candlemass - Black Stone Wielder
Coroner - Reborn through Hell
Danzig - hard to choose, so I'll just say 777
Death - Pull the Plug (most brutal song of all time)
Death Angel - The Ultra Violence
Deathspell Omega - First Prayer
Decapitated - Spheres of Madness
Demigod - Perpetual Ascent
Destroyer 666 - Genesis to Genocide
Dissection - Black Horizons
Exhorder - Anal Lust
Fleshcrawl - Lost in a Grave
God Macabre - Into Nowhere
Grotesque - Blood Runs from the Altar
Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years
Heathen - Death by Hanging

.... actually I'm kinda bored now. That will do .... although it's not actually that long.

I can't get enough of both of these albums.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Agalloch "In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion"
Every time I hear this song it blows me away and I never get sick of it.
The mood that is created in this song cannot be duplicated.

That's one of the few Agalloch songs that actually has some good melodies to it, I think. Most of their riffage is just really weak in comparison.

Yeah, bring on the flames from the rabid Agalloch fanatics.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Most recently: Meshuggah - Combustion

 

[scytheavatar]

Pretty much any Benighted song. Listening to Nemesis left my jaw on the floor for days.

 

[JontRevolting]

Nuit Noire-Travel is pretty fucking rad

 

[audiophileguy]

Artillery - Khomaniac - I must have hit repeat at least 10 times when I first heard this melodic gem.

Therion - The way - Now that's how you make an epic, dm song. take notes, opeth

Cauldron Born - Blood bath in the arena - High pitched vocal melodies that would make even James Rivera tip his hat too, plus a sick solo.

ADX - King of Pain - rifftastic. A shame that most metal fans don't know about ADX


D666 - Genesis to Genocide - Yes, it's even better than the ST

Anacrusis - ROT

 

[Onder]

I've got it on mp3.

So you don't have it.

Me neither, but all those songs are fantastic, I especially love footprints and bridges.

 

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

Yeah, I do not own it. I've heard it though

Footprints might be my favorite...

 

[Carcassian]

The Cathedral cover of Pentagram - All Your Sins is pretty much mind blowing.

There are plenty of original songs that blow my mind, but a few covers have been sufficiently excellent to also make me truly think "wow".

Solitude Aeturnus - No More Tears is an example of taking an (extremely) average track and transforming it into something very special.
