What metal songs have blown your mind?

If by "good reason" you mean "because it's hip", then yes.

Although I have to agree that Needled is a shitty song.

Kreator - Voices of the Dead
Kreator - The Ancient Plague
Slayer - Silent Scream
Behemoth - The Reign ov Shemsu-Hor
Lamb of God - Walk With Me In Hell
Exodus - Raze
Exodus - Shovel Headed Kill Machine

for good reason because they suck :p
 
Kreator - Enemy of God
I though Voices Of The Dead, Murder Fantasies, Impossible Brutality, and When Death Takes It's Dominion were all better, but a really solid album overall.
Who ever mentioned hearts on fire is absolutely awesome Hammerfall rules and also who ever mentioned Amon Amarth and Goatwhore i cool to.

Heres some more from me
I Want Out-Helloween
Power-Helloween
Forever-Kamelot
Farewell-Kamelot

Dragonforce - Through the fire and the flames
the first time i heard the solo i was in awe

Needled 24/7- Children of Bodom
Caught me by suprise aswell

Duck.

And tbh, DF solos are really boring. And CoB are seriously mediocre.
 
I bought it early in '06, and liked it for a little while before selling it early last year. I still have it on iTunes and have listened to it on a couple occasions. After getting Pleasure to Kill, however, I find it difficult getting motivated to listen to EoG.
 
Hmm...
I was under the impression that you generally listened to as little thrash and death as possible...
I'm looking to get Pleasure To Kill sometime.
 
If so, then don't accuse me of listening to Black Metal 95% of the time. We all have our specialties. Black Metal happens to be mine, and I balance it with healthy portions of most other genres, from which I have acquired mainly the classics.
 
I don't.
It's just my impression has been that you avoid stuff like thrash in general...
Apparently I'm incorrect. I apologize.
 
I give the impression that I avoid stuff like modern trash and death metal because they aren't my specialties, so why waste my time looking for good modern stuff when I've still got widely reputable classic albums that I've yet to acquire? I do like some modern death metal, but only in a few cases, like with Behemoth and Crionics.
