Ok OT, what are your favorite parts in metal songs? The syntax here is:
Artist - song title (album)

time- explanation of whats going on.


Dimmu Borgir - The Night Masquerade (Enthrone Darkness Triumphant)

3:39- The song goes back to the main riff and the satanic female vocals come in. Easily one of the most evil parts in any metal song.


In Flames - Dead God in Me (The Jester Race)

1:25- Epic breakdown, probably the most frequent guitar part to get stuck in my head. Very catchy, plus a nice solo comes in over it.


At the Gates - Suicide Nation (Slaughter of the Soul)

Beginning- Gun cock is just so perfect and sounRAB very nice, perfect start for a song about suicide.


At the Gates - Under a Serpent Sun (Slaughter of the Soul)

Whole Song- What can I say? This song is simply amazing, if you haven't heard it find it now! The whole album and this song especially is the apex of death metal imo.


Metallica - Enter Sandman (Metallica)

2:11- "Dreams of war, dreams of lies, dreams of dragon's fire, and of baked apple pie! Myeah!"


Metallica - Disposable Heroes (Master of Puppets)

0:32- The perfectly done military style chops come in and you cream your pants.
8:10- Song enRAB with a harmonized version of the riff they were repeating earlier.


Metallica - To Live is to Die (...And Justice for All)

4:57- Metal stops and beautiful figerpicked guitar part comes in, one of the most moving parts in metal history. The song as a whole isn't that great but this part is a perfect ode to Cliff Burton.


Slayer - At Dawn They Sleep (Hell Awaits)

4:30- Song begins to speed up with vocals screaming "KILL" with ever growing intensity, very powerful.


Slayer- Piece by Piece (Reign in Blood)

1:36- "You have no choice of life or death. My face you will not see. I'll rip your flesh til theres no breath, dismembered destiny"
1:56- "Theres only one way outta here: Piece by piece!"
Very dark poetic lyrics.

Slayer- Raining Blood (Reign in Blood)

0:32- Guitars and drums come crashing in through the rain bg with one of the most memorable guitar parts in metal history.


Dimmu Borgir - DoRABferd (Stormblast)

1:15- Flute in metal?!? Better believe it! quite epic.



Anyway those are just a few of my favorite parts from metal songs. Hope you all get a chance to hear them!
 
I guess, he was a bit more shock value though. his music was absolute crap from what I remember. The main selling point of that group was him taking craps on stage.
 
Sentenced - The War Ain't Over (intro.....the bomb drop sound with the drum roll)
Cataract - Kingdom's Rise (intro song to Kingdom album....this has been my very favorite track for doing big lifts at the gym lately as it never fails to get me pumped up)
Fates Warning - Disconnected pt. 2 (the lead that kicks in about the 7-8 minute mark....don't have the CD on me now but from memory)

Also, a lot of moments on these CD's but I would have to go through them to get exact examples:
Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian
Dark Tranquillity - Skydancer (a lot of the riff/tempo changes are fucking orgasmic and there is some very cool melodic parts too)
 
Iced Earth - A Question Of Heaven
The whole end section after the second bridge, starting from "I did what I thought was right...". From there on, the song just really kicks in and Barlow's vocals are just incredible.

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno
The soft bit from "Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames...". It sounRAB so amazing, especially on the live version from Alive in Athens.

What can I say, I just really like Iced Earth.
