Songs that exemplify a sub-genre in metal.

[TGON]

You know, those kind of songs that just throw it all on your face and basically are telling you:"THIS IS WHAT _____ METAL IS ALL ABOUT!" Like what Metropolis Pt. 1 is to Progressive and Master of Puppets is to Thrash.

 

[Spiderchrist]

Thrash- Reign In Blood
Death- Effigy Of The Forgotten
Black- Transylvanian Hunger
Power- Painkiller
Doom- Epicus Doomicus Metalicus
Groove- Vulgar Display Of Power
Sludge- Leviathan

 

[Satanstoenail]

What's underscore metal? Is it a new sub genre?

 

[Mort Divine]

Thrash- Reign In Blood
Death- Effigy Of The Forgotten
Black- Transylvanian Hunger
Power- Painkiller
Doom- Epicus Doomicus Metalicus
Groove- Vulgar Display Of Power
Sludge- Leviathan

[sevag00]

If you're referring to Leviathan from US as sludge then hell no.

 

[Mort Divine]

I think he means the Mastodon album, which most definitely is not representative of sludge at all.

This is much more fitting

 

[GrayRain]

I'll include some of the more specific ones too.

Funeral Doom - Dead Dripping City - Catacombs
Technical Death - Slit Your Guts - Cryptopsy
Slam - Molesting The Decapitated - Devourment
Death/Doom - 12 - Katatonia
Stoner/Sludge - Dopethrone - Electric Wizard
Black - Chainsaw Gutsfuck - Mayhem
Depressive Black - Depression, Pt. 1, Abyssic Hate

 

[yellowmadness54]

Doom- Solitude or Mirror of Sarrow
Sludge- Odyssey or Spiral Shadow
Funeral Doom- The Hunt
Stoner Doom- Winters Wolves
Drone- Bees made honey in the Lions skull

 

[Krow]

The song Scream Bloody Gore has to be death metal personified.

 

[MasterpieceMesias]

Death: Tomb of the Mutilated
Black: Enter the Moonlight Gate
Thrash: Pleasure to Kill or Rust in Peace

Funeral Doom- The Hunt
Stoner Doom- Winters Wolves
Drone- Bees made honey in the Lions skull

I dunno if I'd call Earth "metal" any more though. I looooove Bees... but it's not really a metal album.

Also, no love for Dopesmoker with stoner doom?

 

[Livid Devil]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI0S5xn8rQo]Possessed - Death Metal[/ame]
I would put Venom - Black Metal up but it's thrash metal.

 

[WCannibal]

Songs?

Death: Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
Tech death: Brain Drill - Bury the Living

No and no.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Are they the best, necessarily? Nah. But if you had to take a track and go "okay this is what that sound is about", then I stand by those picks.

Melodic (Gothenburg) Death Metal : In Flames - Moonshield
Black Metal : Darkthrone - The Claws of Time
Stoner metal : Kyuss - One Inch Man

[caseylogic]

This exemplifies avant-garde progressive metal

 

[Xorv]

What? Demilich is wayyyy to weird to define Death Metal.
