Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator, first song that popped in my head thinking of contemporary metal
Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, groovy and brutal
Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis, grungy doom goodness, love that bass line
Changes all the time but right now I'm into Stoner Metal so:
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Gila Monster
Trollfest Kaptein Kaos
Uncle Acid and the deadbeat Melody Lane
Blood ceremony The weird of Finistere
Actually, if I need to name only one, I'd say the latest
Trollfest puts on such a fucking great show.
Indeed, one of the best concert I seen, they're stage beast
"Postmortem" by Slayer.
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
Got me into metal when I was very young, and overall it’s an incredible song.
I really like a lot of Megadeth's Hidden Treasures since they don't pop up randomly so much I've never gotten tired of them.
Angry Again, 99 Ways to Die, Breakpoint, Go to Hell, Diadems. All great stuff.
Red Handed Denial - One More Night
Or
Spiritbox - Circle With Me
As the others mentioned, there's way too many options.
Heimat - Equilibrium (folk metal)
Score to a new beginning - Fairyland (symphonic metal)
Seven pillars of wisdom - Sabaton (power metal)
Here's a few of my current favourites, in random order:
Amenra - A Solitary Reign Blut aus Nord - Epitome XIV Thou / Emma Ruth Rundle - Ancestral Recall Thou / ERR - the Valley Celtic Frost - A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh Zeal and Ardor - Feed the Machine Ragana / Thou - the Void Neurosis / Jarboe - Within King Woman - Boghz
No Surrender by Beast in Black
Atropos by Periphery
Been feeling Black Label Society lately, specifically Stillborn and Blessed Hellride.
The Sentinel by Judas Priest
Mine is always changing! At the moment: Relentless by Pentagram.
The Book of Thel by Bruce Dickinson
Has to be Terror Train by Demons & Wizards.
I see a lot of the bangers I would also put on my personal Mount Rushmore but I’m shocked not to see any Meshuggah on here. Bleed is an absolute face melter. Dirge for November by Opeth is also up there for me. I put that song on whenever I’m really down and oddly enough it helps me feel a bit better despite it being a song about killing yourself in a bathtub.
Oh and Parpaing by Igorrr is another song that goes hard as fuck. I can hit lifting PRs with that on. Honestly anything Corpsegrinder is belting out I’m here for. He just did a feature with Shadow of Intent that is similarly brutal.
The Prince by Metallica is always a banger.
Right now it’s The Tales of War by Orbit Culture. Amazing band.
Wintersaga by Wind rose. My favorite band by a long shot.
In Flames - Only for the weak Iced Earth - Frankestein Antioch - Where the dagger lies Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
Holographic Universe by Scar Symmetry
Motörhead - Overkill
If you consider Metalcore to be metal, then The year summer ended in June by Misery Signals.
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.
I don’t have a favorite but Error Detection by Nemophila is an often played song in my list right now.
Black Sabbath’s Electric Funeral if I’m picking something old.
Baroness’s A Horse Called Golgotha if I’m picking something newer.
Wizard Fight by Weedeater. If I had to choose.
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
Probably Malfire by Refused, I found them through their samurai covers for cyberpunk 2077 and I've loved their music since
The whole War Music album was a bit hit-or-miss for me, but Malfire is a classic.
Yeah I wish I could find a cd version of malignant fire instead of war music but as far as I can tell it doesn't exist.
