i know its only 2008 but what are the best metal songs from the decade so far. im gonna throw this out there, then im gonna go think about it. ill be back in a few days with my list
Best, I dunno. But, !T.O.O.H.! - Kali, Vehemence - She Never Noticed Me, Lykathea Aflame - On the Way Home, Symbyosis - Life, and Corrupted - El Mundo Frio are certainly some favorites that immediately come to mind.
I'll have to think about this more, too, but I'll start with:
Primordial "The Coffin Ships"
Agalloch - "Not Unlike the Waves"
Pale Divine's "Cemetery Earth" immediately springs to mind. Along with Feg's "Tiger! Tiger!"
Jason Jordan: Agalloch - "Not Unlike the Waves"
Good one. I'm not sure that'd be my pick for Agalloch, but I guess I'd only have The Mantle and Ashes Against The Grain to choose from, since I believe Pale Folklore came out in 1999.
ok here goes, far from complete with only one day to think about it but this should scratch the surface
in no particular order
necrophagist - stabwound
strapping young lad - love?
amon amarth - pursuit of vikings
decapitated - spheres of madness
decapitated - three dimensional defect
benighted - identisick
the sword - iron swan
anata - dance to the song of apathy
dew-scented - soul poison
aeon - god gives head in heaven
behemoth - as above, so below
arsis - the face of my innocence
dying fetus - justifiable homocide
grimfist - the power
immolation - unholy cult
kreator - violent revolution
viral load - cumstained muder weapon
Hmmm, I really only got into music halfway into the 00's so some of these were obviously things I discovered later on. These are just pretty much off the top of my head:
Immortal - "Demonium"
I - Mountains
