What is your favourite metal song?

[investburnout@fedia.io]

If you consider Metalcore to be metal, then The year summer ended in June by Misery Signals.

I’m not a huge metal head, but “Trapped Under Ice” by Metallica is probably my favorite. I’d strongly recommend the entire Ride the Lightning album though. Pretty much every song is great.

[reverendender@sh.itjust.works]

Kickstart my Heart by Motley Crue

[solsangraal@lemmy.zip]

what are you looking for? heavy? brutal? melodic? symphonic? fast? slow? "metal" could include dozens of distinct sounds e.g. death, black, doom, thrash, speed, math--and on and on, with each of those divisible into even more subgenres

[passerby6497@lemmy.world]

Depends on what subgenres you're into.

I really enjoy power metal, and Gloryhammer is one of my faves. He has returned, Keeper of the celestial flame, Land of unicorns, Masters of the galaxy, and Rise of the chaos wizards are all ones I really enjoy.

Prog metal is another really good genre, and Between the Buried and Me is amazing and have some fantastic concept albums. Coma Ecliptic has The Coma Machine and Memory Palace being a hell of an earworm. The Great Misdirect has Obfuscation and Feed from Cloud Mountain as those two slots, and The Parallax double album is great (part 1 is a good ep, part 2 is the main album), with Astral Body being one of the main singles and so many tracks that get stuck in my head.

I listed a bunch of other bands in this comment as well that are really good as well: https://lemmy.world/comment/19203007
