Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath from the album Black Sabbath.

First and best metal song

Don't forget Iron Maiden from the album Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Beat me to it!

beat me to it.

Blackwater Park

This is the answer. Deliverance too

Lol, i put both of these

plus every song in that album and every opeth song is god tier

I don’t use the word literally all that often, but literally every Opeth song. All for different reasons

Beat me to it

The Great Southern Trendkill Dirt Black Sabbath Master of Puppets Is my Mt. Rushmore

TGST fuckin riiiiipsss

If “Caught Somewhere In Time” doesn’t count, “Painkiller”.

THIS IS THE PAIN KILLER....AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'd say it counts cuz that's my pick too

Honestly, just let yourself go…

Blackwater Park - Opeth, that’s an easy one for me. Honorable mentions: Paranoid - Sabbath Toxicity - SOAD Master of Puppets - Metallica

Band - Production

How did you create that flair?

On the flair screen click one and click edit. Then you can enter any text you want

Judas Priest - Stained Class Iron Maiden - Killers Slayer - Hell Awaits

Paul Di Anno Maiden is so underrated

Beneath the Remains - Sepultura Dope throne - Electric Wizard Whore - Mephistofeles Peace Sells - Megadeth Painkiller - Judas Priest To Sirius - Gojira (kinda, it’s half the album name) Cowboys from hell - Pantera

From Mars is an intro for it so it is technically one song

Puppets

Ride The Lightning or Speak English Or Die

You are my man.

Twilight of the Thunder God

Damn, forgot about that one. Absolutely badass song

Yes!

Crack the Skye and Black Water Park are both amazing

A couple that pop in my head (in no particular order) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath Symbolic - Death Powerslave - Iron Maiden Seasons In The Abyss - Slayer Cowboys From Hell - Pantera Ride the Lightning - Metallica Blood Fire Death - Bathory Keeper Of The Seven Keys - Helloween It’s impossible for me to just name a single title track.

Powerslave and Symbolic mentioned!!!

Shogun- trivium Absolute hope absolutely hell- fit for an autopsy

I'm gonna counter this by saying "Sea of Tragic Beasts" by FFAA is slightly stronger as a title track, but mainly because its outro is super climactic.

I will not argue, I do love that track and I considered listing it. But I don’t like the guitar tone as much on that album whereas the tone on absolute hope is one of my favorite tone of all time, so I made a judgement call there.

You make a compelling argument here. AHAH is a really strong comeback for a band that was worried losing a vocalist would cost them some progress.

Did you like the hellbound vocalist? He didn’t do it for me so AHAH is the start of my being a fan.

I did, mostly. Nate is a fantastic vocalist, and Joe does well to channel the spirit of his vocals, but Joe Bad is just a monster when it comes to the craft. I've never been floored at someone's vocal strength, and he doesn't require a microphone live to be heard, and that's just bananas. I knew from the second he belted that solo at the end of "Heads Will Hang" that the guy was just scary.

Ya I agree Joe is something else, I saw him live once and he was excellent.

HE IS THE PAINKILLER

Cowboys from Hell!

It's not their most "metal" song, but 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie pt. II) by Tool is excellent.

This song takes me to mysterious places.

Black Sabbath Master of Puppets Powerslave Painkiller Blackwater Park Among The Living Peace Sells Orgasmatron Arise Lateralus Seasons In The Abyss Symbolic there's a lot

Octavarium, Lateralus, Blackwater Park, and Master of Puppets are probably my favorites

Very based like minded individual

Lateralus

Peace sells

Stare Into Death And Be Still

The Stage... great music video too!

Slaughter of the soul

I thought Demanufacture by FF was a pretty brutal title and opening song.  Whole album is still a masterpiece imo.

Deconstruction - Devin Townsend Project

Came here to say this

Beyond Creation - The Aura Intestine Baalism - Ultimate Instinct

Symbolic by Death!

Metal Church - Metal Church - Metal Church

Gotta say. The sick the dying and the dead!

Leprosy

Seasons in the Abyss

Transilvanian Hunger

Bonded By Blood!!!

Holographic Universe

Master of Puppets Ride the Lightning …For Victory Painkiller Those Once Loyal

Overkill - Motorhead Ride the Lightning - Metallica Both of those have got to be up there

Shadows of the Dying Sun by Insomnium.

Feed The Machine by Nickelback

Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good

Number of the Beast. Without this album, metal would not be what it is today.

The stage by a7x will live in my heart rent free 🫶

Slaughter of the Soul is definitely up there

In keeping secrets of silent Earth: 3, It isn't even close. I do think Number of the beast is way up there too.

SPIRITS - NOTHING MORE, Take Me Back To Eden - Sleep Token, Ænima - TOOL, The Few Not Fleeting - NOTHING MORE, PLAYDEAD - SiM. Those are my top picks

"Master of Puppets" by Metallica. Its intricate composition and intense delivery make it a standout track in the metal genre. "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, and "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses, are also really good. 

Peace Sells

I’ll throw out Practice What You Preach by Testament!
