[zoidberg]

atheist- samba briza

gojira- unicorn

death- voice of the soul

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

No?

 

[zoidberg]

lol

 

[Matt]

Summoning - "Midrautas Vras" - marching drums, infectious brass fanfares, beastial howls, and lyrics growled in the black language of the Orcs make this one of the best songs featured on Oath Bound.

Great song.

Any, Battle Magic by Bal-Sagoth comes to mind

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

No?

no

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

Great song.
no

Okay, The Unforgiven, then.

 

[zoidberg]

now you killed it.

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

now you killed it.

Good.

Metal is about death.

I just made this thread more metal.

 

[zoidberg]

by watering it down with 90s metallica refrences? irony at its most ironic.

 

[A1a23]

Enslaved - Frost
Equilibrium - Massacre
Dimmu Borgir - Fear and Wonder

 

[Belligerent]

Now this is hard but here are a few.

Down - Jail
Opeth - Hope Leaves
Pantera - Planet Caravan (do covers count?)

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Dimmu Borgir - Fear and Wonder

Correct.

They could probably write pretty good classical music if they tried.

 

[challenge_everything]

Apotheosis - Victory

Think Bathory's Odens Ride Over Nordland taken to a whole new level. You can almost see the warriors riding their horses into battle.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Pantera - Planet Caravan (do covers count?)

Not as much as the original. :Smug:

 

[Zephyrus]

Correct.

They could probably write pretty good classical music if they tried.

Indeed. The opening symphonic section to "Eradication Instincts Defined" is another prime example.

Corrosion Of Conformity - "Jim Beam and the Coon Ass"

They could probably write pretty good classical music if they tried.

Indeed. The opening symphonic section to "Eradication Instincts Defined" is another prime example.

It's a long way from black metal synth interludes to "pretty good classical music."

 

[Zephyrus]

Well having it performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra certainly helps.

 

[Seasonreaper]

Agalloch - The Misshapen Steed
Opeth - Harvest\Windowpane - Amazing songs
November's Doom - Twilight Innocence - Completely different to everything else, and a beautiful song
Jacobs Dream - Mad House Of Cain - This is one hell of a weird song, and it sounds sinister and creepy. Completely different to the rest of the album.
Moonspell - Proliferation - Such an awesome song, kinda fits with the rest of the album, but also sounds very much different.
Vesperian Sorrow - Odyssium - After an entire album of black metal, it finishes with an acoustic-styled song with female vocals. Completely different to the rest and very much unexpected.

Jacobs Dream - Mad House Of Cain - This is one hell of a weird song, and it sounds sinister and creepy. Completely different to the rest of the album.

Yeah!! Good song!

Well having it performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra certainly helps.

How?

 

[Mr. Nekrophetamine]

How?

As in, Dimmu Borgir didn't actually do the intro... it was the Prague Symphony Orchestra. I'm sure the band could do classical music, but not on that level.

Apocalyptica does count as metal, yes? When they're not just a cover band or featuring subpar artists singing on their songs anyways... they've gone a bit downhill lately.

Then looking at their Reflections album...
Apocalyptica - Cohkka

also...
Orphaned Land - The Calm Before the Flood
At The Gates - Into the Dead Sky
At The Gates - The Flames of the End (I couldn't decide between just one. although SotS isn't hailed as their finest, it is a hell of a way to end an album.)
Nile - The Infinity of Stone
Moonspell - Sons of Earth
