Not my fav but to post something different: dir en grey - shitataru mourou https://youtu.be/TLXtwCViVQk

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Atreyu - Bleeding Mascara, just punches you in the face with an awesome intro.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath.

[–] pwalshj@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Where do you stand on "Hocus Pocus" by Focus?

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Pretty good track! But maybe not as good as Weed by Weed, from the album Weed.

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.

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth.

Five Magics for me

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Quite a few, and hard to pick one, however Slania's Song by Eluveitie is up there.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Currently it's While we serve by Orbit Culture.

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

The only thing they fear is you
Rip & Tear

Both by Mick Gordon

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

One by Metallica, Ratamahatta by Sepultura, The Trooper by Iron Maiden are all up there

Special mention for Gimme Chocolate by Babymetal

[–] djvinniev77@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Woo hoo Babymetal. Have you heard Electric Cowboy x Babymetal song Ratatata? That’s a banger!

[–] leraje@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Since nobody mentioned them yet, Strapping Young Lad - Detox.

Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Arbitrary choice, but Wherever I May Roam by Metallica never gets old for me.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Right now its still probably Killing Time and Space by Nekrogoblikon. Goblins, cosmic history, and a banjo? In my metal? Helllll yeah brother.

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.

[–] AnIntenseMoist@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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

Tibet - Space of Variations

Homicide - Sammy Slamdance

Dopesmoker by Sleep, listen to the whole thing it's a real jam

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator, first song that popped in my head thinking of contemporary metal

https://youtu.be/MlnGYcMpxgU

Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, groovy and brutal

https://youtu.be/gNhN6lT-y5U

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis, grungy doom goodness, love that bass line

https://youtu.be/UAPVcsDOU9U

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

What kind of metal do you like?

Meshuggah - Bleed

Rotting christ - ze nigmar

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

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.
