What is your favourite metal song?

[alt_xa_23@lemmy.world]

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

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.

Murmaider

Also Iron Man

[dozzi92@lemmy.world]

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.

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

Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.
