[waif]

I heard the song Versus the World, which was was awesome, but still haven't heard the rest of the album (For now I just downloaded their stuff to see what I like etc. but soon I'll buy some of their stuff too).

Search on youtube for videos for the following songs:
Death in Fire (from Versus the World, oft considered their best song ever)
Pursuit Of Vikings (From Fates Of Norns)
Cry Of The Black Birds (From With Oden On Our Side)
Runes To My Memory (From With Oden On Our Side)

 

[Zephyrus]

"Thousand Years of Oppression" is their best song I've heard.

 

[Einherjar86]

HIBRIA- Millenium Quest, Kingdom to Share
Hollenthon- To Kingdom Come
Kiuas- Black Rose Withered, After the Storm, The Wanderer's Lamentation (fucking epic song )
Primordial- As Rome Burns (this song gave me chills when I first heard it, and it still does every time)
Therion- TOF-The Trinity, TRUL (epic chorus)
Nocturnal Rites- Fools Never Die, Shadowland
Sieges Even- When Alpha and Omega Collide

"Thousand Years of Oppression" is their best song I've heard.

Might be their best overall...depends on who you ask. I can see how that would be your favorite, though.

Bathory - A Fine Day To Die
Bathory - For All Those Who Died

RIDE RIDE VALKYRIES RIDE

 

[Old Man Metal]

Sanctuary - Battle Angels, Warrels voice is sick.
Exodus - Children of a Worthless God, awesome riffs, great topic.
Nevermore - Sentient 6, crazy idea.
Metalica - Creeping Death, just the fact that Hetfield plays and sings this one.
Overkill - Long time Dying, lyrics made me think.
Pyrexia - Anything they've done, the drummer is like a machine gun.

 

[Rhombus]

Communic - Frozen Asleep in the Park
This band really surprised me. Truly amazing. I think I saw someone on here talking about it and whoever it was, Thank You.

 

[The Butt]

IMO the single best Burzum songs must be (no real order):

-Ea, Lord Of The Depths
-Jesu Død (or "Jesus' Tod" as it is usually known)
-Det Som En Gang Var
-Tomhet
-Ansuzgardaraiwô
-My Journey To The Stars

I agree with that list, although I'd probably remove Tomhet for Daudi Baldrs, and Ansuzgardaraiwo for Dunkelheit.

Some metal songs that have blown my mind recently:

• Iced Earth - The Coming Curse (I listened to this song recently after not hearing it in months. I remember now why I enjoyed it so damn much.)
• Vintersorg - Döpt I En Jökelsjö
• Vintersorg - Spirar och Gror
• Nile - Unas, Slayer of Gods
• Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk
• Emperor - In Longing Spirit
• Wintersun - Sleeping Stars
• Nagelfar - Westwall/Fäden des Schicksals (I consider it all one song.)
  
• Burzum - Daudi Baldrs (This is just a fucking awesome song, period. Sadly, The Hlidskjalf album couldn't measure up for me.)
• Deicide - Death to Jesus
• Deicide - The Stench of Redemption

[*]Iced Earth - The Coming Curse (I listened to this song recently after not hearing it in months. I remember now why I enjoyed it so damn much.)

IMO the other 2 in the trilogy are way better, but it's definately one of IE's better songs. Also it'll be sort of the basis for their new album, I really hope it will turn out well.


Edit: Oh, and thank you weareinflames and zephyrus for the Amon Amarth rec's, I'll check em out.

 

[Allfader]

Recently? Nothing. Maybe the last tunes with that effect were whole Kampfar - Kvass album and Solens Rötter from Vintersorg. Shadows of the sun from Ulver is great also.

edit: wait... there's a song who caught me these days..Algol from Vintersorg (the lyrics expresses exactly like I'm feeling now)

 

[Bitencourt29]

Exodus - Children of a Worthless God, awesome riffs, great topic.

True

BTW, can't wait to get the second part, Exhibit B, or whatever they're gonna name it.

 

[waif]

Bathory - A Fine Day To Die
