What is your favourite metal song?

[fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world]

Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth.

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.

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

Special mention for Gimme Chocolate by Babymetal

[pumafred9@lemmy.world]

Hmm, probably Vermilion by Slipknot, either part is fine...

[middlemansi@lemmy.world]

Tornado of souls for me

[gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world]

Discipline - Nine Inch Nails

[grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works]

Idk how I can just pick one,

But the stage by avenged sevenfold is a good contender

[satansmaggotycumfart@piefed.world]

Photograph by Nickelback is a classic.

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

at the moment aaj by bloodywood

[neidu3@sh.itjust.works]

I'm unable to pick a single one, as it shifts very often. So I opened my main Playlist to find something, so today I'll give you three very different suggestions:
In Flames - Only For the Weak.
Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation.
Destiny Potato - Addict.

Ask me tomorrow and you'll get different answers
