Aunt Lisa by Mastodon
Not my fav but to post something different: dir en grey - shitataru mourou https://youtu.be/TLXtwCViVQk
Atreyu - Bleeding Mascara, just punches you in the face with an awesome intro.
That was one of the songs that introduced me to Metalcore. I remember making a mix with that, My Last Serenade, some Folly, and some Anah Aevia, a band I can't find anything by these days.
Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath.
Where do you stand on "Hocus Pocus" by Focus?
Pretty good track! But maybe not as good as Weed by Weed, from the album Weed.
Red Handed Denial - One More Night
Or
Spiritbox - Circle With Me
Hmmm...
Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)
The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja's and Marko's version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette's version.
The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)
Chop Suey (System of a Down)
Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)
Ace of spades (Motörhead)
.... A bunch of stuff from Guns'n'Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours...)
Other days I'd have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, ...
Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between "hard rock" and "metal". I know that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth.
Tornado of souls for me
Five Magics for me
Quite a few, and hard to pick one, however Slania's Song by Eluveitie is up there.
Currently it's While we serve by Orbit Culture.
It's hard to pick one, but here are a few of my favorites:
Opeth - the drapery falls
Panopticon - Cedar Skeletons
Cult of Luna - The Fall
Ashenspire - The Law of Asbestos
Fen - Fear
The only thing they fear is you
Rip & Tear
Both by Mick Gordon
One by Metallica, Ratamahatta by Sepultura, The Trooper by Iron Maiden are all up there
Special mention for Gimme Chocolate by Babymetal
Woo hoo Babymetal. Have you heard Electric Cowboy x Babymetal song Ratatata? That’s a banger!
Changes literally every day! At the moment I'm loving Witch Club Satan's new single You Wildflower.
Also (sorry for the spam), I co-present a metal radio show which plays music from explicitly antifascist and/or anti-bigotry artists called Contra Odium.
Since nobody mentioned them yet, Strapping Young Lad - Detox.
Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.
All time? Probably Dream Theater's A change of seasons. But there's way too many to choose from.
Katatonia - Old heart Falls
Caligula's Horse - Marigold
Soen - Martyrs
Swallow the sun - Falling World
Haken - 1985
Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
Rotting Christ - Ze nigmar
Draconian - Daylight Misery
Paradise lost - faith divides us /death unites us
Leprous - Rewind
Eons Enthroned - Stormblessed (for fans of the stormlight archive)
Rhapsody (of fire)- emerald sword
Ihsahn - Mass darkness
Gojira - Flying whales
The ocean - jurassic
Opeth - fuck.. can't even pick one.. but let's say ghost of perdition
Dragony - Magic
And many, many, many more..
Painkiller by Judas Priest will always have a special place in my heart due to the hours 11 year old me spent air-guitaring that solo.
Arbitrary choice, but Wherever I May Roam by Metallica never gets old for me.
I definitely didn't quote this song in my highschool yearbook grad comment..
Thats a hard one. But im a sucker for Metropolis part 1 by dream theater.
Right now its still probably Killing Time and Space by Nekrogoblikon. Goblins, cosmic history, and a banjo? In my metal? Helllll yeah brother.
meshuggah - new millennium cyanide christ. great riff, great music video
Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony - Human
This album is a Top 5/desert island choice for me, but No Leaf Clover is my favorite, though I've worn it out so much over the years.
Chop Suey. I love how jarring the tempo changes are.
Like other people say, "favorite" depends on the context. Here are ones I've had on repeat at one point or another.
The Hammer - Kublai Khan TX
Contraband - Make Them Suffer
The Migrant - Shadow of Intent
Die Alone - A Pale Horse Named Death (this one is for a sad day)
In The Name Of God - Rotting Christ
(literally anything, Garden of Earthly Delights is a good place to start) - Apocalypse Orchestra
Looking Down The Barrel of Today - Hatebreed
Bullet With A Name - Nonpoint
WAKE UP - The Browning (whole album is good, intro is a fucking headbanger)
Where The Things Have No Color - Destrage
The Orphan - Paleface Swiss
I have to go do stuff, but that should get you started.
*I'm back and adding some more, cuz why not:
I Am The Mountain - Windrose
Captain Morgan's Revenge - Alestorm
Primo Victoria - Sabbaton
Vodka - Korpiklaani
Hardrádi - Hulkoff
Låt Napalmen Regna - Raubtier
Planet on Fire - Rob Sigurd
Hellhacker - Aaron F. Bianchi Jupiter
Destiny Crucified - Shokran
Tibet - Space of Variations
Homicide - Sammy Slamdance
Dopesmoker by Sleep, listen to the whole thing it's a real jam
Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator, first song that popped in my head thinking of contemporary metal
Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, groovy and brutal
Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis, grungy doom goodness, love that bass line
What kind of metal do you like?
Meshuggah - Bleed
Rotting christ - ze nigmar
Not much of a metal head, but the whole Nonagon Infinity album by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is great. Also their album PetroDragonic Apocalypse.
What got me even slightly into metal, and stays mainstays on my playlists, are the albums Black Hole Space Wizard Parts 1 and 2 by Howling Giant. Cannot reccomend those enough. Also, their album The Space Between Worlds is great too, but isn't like one long story.
