Metal Reviews

Young Widows - Took A Turn, one minute or so in when the singer says "drums" then the drums come in. It just fits the mood so perfectly.

Primordial - The Coffin Ships

Oh god, that bread should be so dear
And human flesh so cheap[*]

Young hearts are born with such grief
We have paid the penalty of truth
A season of our stolen youth
Shall teach our hearts to break

And...

Primordial - As Rome Burns

when the backing vocals kick in in the second verse-

I see you've chosen to loose your faith
To burn your bridges and lose your way
From mountain top to valley deep
From shore to cursed shore
What Nation, what State what Land is this?
The wretched Tribe of Nero...

So fucking GOOD.

Oh yeah, I forgot this one.

Primordial - Gallows Hymn

At the end of the song-

I was never a religious man
So why should I put my faith in you?
You burned your bridges a long time ago
I'm a heathen, searching for his soul

I love that bit in Darkthrone - Kathaarian Life Code when Nocturno C. gives this really pervy-sounding laugh and growls something. It sounds like 'heheheh, 'tis the true face of eeeeevil', and it kicks ass. Thought of it today whilst out and about but I didn't have it on my Walkman. Will rectify that tonight. I love Darkthrone.

I love the bridge in the Death song Scavenger Of Human Sorrow (starting at, I think, around the 3:00 mark with a simple bassline and ending with an awesome guitar solo). Pure musical bliss.

From the third version of "Promenade" through the Baba Yaga stuff, which flows seamlessly into "The Great Gate of Kiev" is an incredible 5 minutes of live performance, from ELP's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Pretty much the whole song but especially this part of EoS - Crimson

A whole world is mourning the loss of their king.
In sorrow a new day dawning.
Now the princess is their everything.
A procession to the chambers where
they kiss their fathers ring.
Can you hear the angel of sadness sing... with broken wings.

Mandatory Raining Blood mention.

Burzum - Det som en gang var
Burzum - War
Burzum - En Ring Til A Herske I really love the vocals in this song
Solo in Key to the Gate
Darkthrone's Thulcandra demo, particularly love the drumming on this demo.
Darkthrone - The Hordes of Nebulah
Morbid Angel - Lord of All Fevers & Plague "Ia! Iak sakkath!" Need I say more. Cannot help but growl this out everytime I hear it no matter where
Samael - Rite of Cthulhu the song sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it.
Samael - Into the Pentagram just Vorph's "Innntooo tthhhee Peentagram" is probably one of my favourite and one of the most venomous vocal moments in metal.
Decapitated - Nine Steps the intro
Vader - Cold Demons
Mayhem - Outro off Deathcrush...they are very happy! and we hope you are too! TOO! EEEEEVVUUUHHLLLL
Morbid - Disgusting Semla lalalalalalaaaa are you disgusting?
Possessed - Eyes of Horror the whole damned thing is just awesome. Not to mention the lyrics are some of my all time favourites.
Dismember - Skin Her Alive
Bathory s/t as a whole just can't be beaten. Great album.
Bathory - Equimanthorn Under the Sign as a whole but this song deserves honourable mention.
Morbid Scream - Cries of Sanity
Slayer - Black Magic...this is my drunken air guitar song. Honestly one of Slayer's best as far as I'm concerned.
Massacra - Apocalyptic Warriors
Chaos Horde - Total Death Sanchez's vocals especially do it most for me here.
Running Wild - Soldiers of Hell and Black Demon off of Gates of Purgatory.
Judas Iscariot - Eternal Bliss...Eternal Death
Judas Iscariot - Benevolent Whore, Dethrone for Eternity
Judas Iscariot - Dethroned, Conquered and Forgotten version of Spill the Blood of the Lamb

and I will stop for now or else I never will

The guitar solo in the Megadeth song Family Tree. So... Freaking... Catchy!

(I'll probably be gradually adding more "favorite moments" to this list as I listen to more music over the next few months or so)

Lord of all fevers in plagues is mandatory headbanging, RIDE THE WINGS OF DEATH!!!!! Old school death metal ftw

Judas Priest - Exciter 3:37

Dismember - Override the Overture 3:13

The riffs! The riffs!
