10 Best metal songs

This list is according to my choices…………………………… Views are welcome….
1)      HALLOWED BE THY NAME…………….. (Iron Maiden, Cradle of Filth)
This song is an epic song…………… the music……. The lyrics …….. Top class……. Well I hate to admit that cradle of filth’s version is better than iron maiden’s one……..  Still no other song can take its place………… one interesting thing I found on net……….. that this song seems to be sequel of the song ’Infinite Dreams’ by iron maiden………. Check that out…….

2)      STARCHILD………………. (Wintersun)
Well this song is very fast……….. and lyrics wise very well researched…….. the theme is the personification of the star birth process………… drums rule this song…………… the band is totally underrated…….. but wintersun are the masters of Gothenburg metal.

3)      DANCE OF DEATH………………………. (Iron Maiden)
when I heard this song for the first time……….. I heard it again and again for around 20 times………… its magical…….. the riffs and the guitar  of Adrian Smith is unforgettable…………. Just listen to this song…………… u will forget metallica and start running after IM……..

4)      BACK IN BLACK…………………………(AC/DC)
I don’t know how to classify AC/DC………. They hold the middle ground between heavy metal and hard rock……………… but this song was the punch in face of skeptics who said AC/DC is nothing without Bon Scott…………. Back in black was actually dedicated to bon scott……….. and turned out to be the best album and the song ever recorded by ac/dc……………..

5)      THE PAINKILLER………………………. (Judas Priest)
This is a complex song……………. Judas Priest shocked the fans by venturing into heavier metal through the album with the same name as the song……………. This song got a Grammy doesn’t matter…….. what matters is its heavy and beautiful…………..  the riff is awesome too….  A must hear…….

6)      THE TROOPER……………………… (Iron Maiden)
Aha………. Listen the opening harmony and you are into the song…………….  Now as per Wikipedia…. ‘Written by bassist and founder-member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War and inspired by Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name.’……………. but cut the crap just hear it………….. it has the blood of IM running through it………………

7)      TORN BETWEEN SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS………………. (Trivium)
First of all find out about the myth of Scylla and Charybdis then listen to this song……………….. the song opens with a BOOM……….. probably the best opening I have ever heard………. I don’t know whats with Trivium and the sea related stories and songs…………… should give it a new name……….. The Mariner’s metal :P……….. the song is awesome…….

8)      CONTRACTOR………………………. (Lamb Of God)
Pure American death metal……………….. Hear it with lyrics………….. and try to figure out the meaning…………….. it’s very very heavy…………….. Mark Morton has to have turbos fitted to his vocal chords……………… hint it’s about the government contractors…….

9)      MR. CROWLEY………………………. (Ozzy Osborne)
Ozzy Osborne fired from Black Sabbath………… oh shit!!.......... but then came Blizzard of Ozz and its two singles Mr Crowley and Crazy Train……………… this two were enough for Sabbath to realize their biggest mistake……………… the song is super……. And has one of the best riffs ever……….. moral of the story………. ‘you can’t kill rock n roll……… form Mr Ozzy’

10)   HEATHEN THRONE + THE LONGEST JOURNEY…………………… (Ensiferum)
These are two songs ………… and they are actually forming one complete song…………. It is the perfect way to get introduced to the world of Gothenburg metal…………….. the deepest growl and the clearest music………… u say it the songs have it………… and this band is pretty cool………. Finnish……………

NOTE :- two things……………  metallica fans don’t pour ur anger at me ………… :P
               And I badly wanted to get in fear of the dark ……. Anthem…….. battle against time… but the list is too short………….
