10 Best SLIPKNOT's Songs

The best Slipknot songs are bred from the band's Midwestern roots, as the masked marauders from Des Moines, Iowa, have taken the blood, sweat and tears of their blue-collar upbringing and poured it into their music. Slipknot are a way of life for their fans — affectionately dubbed maggots — because they managed to distill fury into manic, artfully constructed, unforgettable songs that still bash you over the skull. They are masterful with their metal, but on a deeper level, it's their skillful playing, carves-space-in-your-cranium melodies and their full on assault on all senses that make Slipknot one of the most important metal bands ever. With great difficulty, we've made our picks for the 10 Best Slipknot Songs:



10.'Vermilion Pt. 2'

From: 'Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)' (2004)





Slipknot are known for heavier-than-granite metal. But a fragile song like 'Vermilion Pt. 2' demonstrates an artistry not unlike, say, Radiohead. The band's mastery of dynamics is evident in this original and this sequel. Sometimes you need to show your softer side to further demonstrate just how aggressive you are. 'Part 2' is a testament to late bassist Paul Gray's rock solid songwriting, as well.





9.'Spit It Out'

From: 'Slipknot' (1999)





If you've seen Slipknot live, you know this is the song where Corey Taylor commands the entire crowd to sit on the ground and jump to their feet on his command. That's power. That's two decades worth of connection with the maggots, which has been drafted in blood, adrenaline, testosterone and any other bodily fluid, substance or hormone your sick mind can possibly imagine.





8.'The Heretic Anthem'

From: 'Iowa' (2001)





Only in Slipknot's feral claws and paws could a lyric like “If you're 555, I'm 666″ still sound nastier than Regan's green vomit in 'The Exorcist.' It's true that 'Iowa' is the slaughterhouse of Slipknot records: every song drips blood, guts, venom, bile and vomit. That's a good thing when you're talking metal, and 'Heretic Anthem' captures all of those elements in one fell swoop.





7.'(sic)'

From: 'Slipknot' (1999)





Go watch 'Alien.' You know that scene where the alien bursts from Kane's chest? The graphic horror and vicious energy of that scene is bottled and captured by 'Sic,' thanks to the battering ram percussion, machine gunned riffs and Taylor's battle cry. This is music from and for the frontlines of a warzone. Here comes the pain!





6.'Left Behind'

From: 'Iowa' (2001)





'Left Behind' is the lead single from 'Iowa' and it's one of Slipknot's standout songs as it shows off the band's attention to and knack for melody, without losing its meaty, metal edge. It's one of those beautiful moments where you can tap your toes to the music, all the while wanting to start a carnage-inducing moshpit. That's not easy to do, but in Slipknot's mitts, it seems so simple.





5.'Psychosocial'

'All Hope Is Gone' (2008)





'Psychosocial' is a chunky, choppy track, with an infectious chorus. That's not usually how one would describe an exhaustingly heavy metal track, but this is Slipknot we're talking about. Equally riffy and percussive, 'Psychosocial' is fueled by the pulse of the maggots.





4.'People = Shit'

From: 'Iowa' (2001)





Slipknot weren't masking their intentions with 'People = Shit.' Only nine bandits from Iowa could effectively capture the dregs of humanity with a metal song so effectively. It's one of the best Slipknot songs thanks to the way it helps one achieve catharsis and an understanding of the depths to which your fellow man can sink.





3.'Wait and Bleed'

From: 'Slipknot' (1999)





'Wait and Bleed' is a standout track not only for its jostling construction, but for the fact that it lets vocalist Corey Taylor take center stage. His guttural growls could make the hairs on your neck stand bolt upright. As for his melodic croon? That's what set him apart. The band never, ever sounds soft. The melodic elements merely provided a foil to enhance the extreme parts.





2.'Duality'

From: 'Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)'





Slipknot's brutal, extreme nature is never in question, but with 'Duality,' the lead single from their third album, the masker marauders were able to perfect their formula of maelstrom with melody. Never did pushing your fingers into your eyes sound like such an appealing behavior.





1'Surfacing'

From: 'Slipknot' (1999)





'Surfacing' is your new national anthem. With the squealing opening, frenetic, chaotic percussion and Corey Taylor's ferocity, it's the definitive Slipknot song because it gives a comprehensive look over everything Slipknot is: feral, uncontainable, artistically elevated. There was never anything like Slipknot before them and even thought there have been copycats, there will never truly be anything that rivals or equals them.

10 Best Rock Albums 2012

LOUDWIRE.COM

The year 2012 turned out to be a strong one for rock albums. We saw the highly anticipated return of '90s favorites Soundgarden, the continued brilliance of acts like Deftones and Stone Sour, the emergence of females in hard rock courtesy of Halestorm and Dead Sara, among others, to go along with memorable releases from a number of other rock acts. Unfortunately, all of our favorite albums couldn't make this list, but after much debate among our entire staff, we've come up with our official picks for the best rock albums of the year. If metal is more your speed, don't worry, we've got a separate list for you headbangers. But for now, strap in and turn it up, as we count down the 10 Best Rock Albums of 2012:



10

'Dark Adrenaline'

Lacuna Coil





Lacuna Coil's 'Dark Adrenaline' album, released early on in 2012, finds the band rediscovering their gothic roots while expanding their sound in the process. 'Trip the Darkness' was a dark sounding gem off the record, and the song got an extra boost when a remix by Dillinger Escape Plan's Ben Weinman appeared on the 'Underworld: Awakening' soundtrack. 'Fire' showed off a more radio-friendly side, while 'End of Time' served as the band's late year ballad. The disc also included an interesting cover of R.E.M.'s 'Losing My Religion.'





9

'King Animal'

Soundgarden





The promise of Soundgarden's 2009 reunion was finally realized in 2012, as the band released their 'King Animal' album in November. The grunge goliath's first new album since 1996 proves that Soundgarden are still on top of their game. 'Been Away Too Long' became a major hit at radio, while tracks like 'Non-State Actor' and 'Worse Dreams' generated plenty of buzz in advance of the album. Chris Cornell's voice is as strong as ever, and the full band feels as though they haven't lost a step. Welcome back, Soundgarden, and kudos for delivering one of the 10 best rock albums of 2012.





8

'Amarylllis'

Shinedown





Shinedown had a tough task in matching the success of 2008's 'The Sound of Madness,' but they succeeded in cranking out another hits-filled collection with 'Amaryllis,' certainly showing that there is no slowing down this juggernaut. Both 'Bully' and 'Unity' took the band back to the top of the charts. And the group got great mileage out of 'Enemies' and 'I'll Follow You,' making for a very successful 2012. Look for the output to continue, with the single 'Miracle' lined up to hit radio in early 2013.





7

'Born Villain'

Marilyn Manson





For longtime fans of Marilyn Manson, 'Born Villain' provided a much welcome creative resurgence. The lead single 'No Reflection' was just the sort of gritty-meets-groovy rocker that the singer built his career upon, and 'Slo-Mo-Tion' and 'Overneath the Path of Mystery' show the true depth of the record. In addition, Manson got some notice for including the bonus cover of 'You're So Vain' with his longtime pal Johnny Depp.





6

'Harakiri'

Serj Tankian





The man of many musical inspirations, System of a Down singer Serj Tankian found his latest solo disc embracing rock, punk and new wave, among other genres. 'Harakiri' earns its spot as one of the 10 best rock albums of 2012 by delivering socially-minded statements through infectious songs. 'Figure It Out' is an in-your-face track that pulls no punches, while 'Cornucopia' showcases Tankian's versatile talents as a musician. But the standout cut just might be the title track, which features a chorus as catchy as any in System of a Down's catalog.





5

'The Strange Case of …'

Halestorm





Halestorm went from being the “next big rock band” to fulfilling that prophecy with 'The Strange Case Of…' The group rocketed up the charts in early 2012 with the single 'Love Bites … So Do I' and the attitude that Lzzy Hale provided set the tone for the rest of the disc. They enjoyed crossover pop success with 'Here's to Us,' but once again embraced their hard-rock fans with the scorching track 'I Miss the Misery,' which shows off Hale at her belting best.





4

'Yellow & Green'

Baroness





Baroness may not get as much attention as some of the bigger names on this list, but the band delivered one of the best front-to-back efforts of 2012. The two-disc collection 'Yellow & Green' features such standout tracks as 'March to the Sea,' 'Take My Bones Away' and 'Board Up the House.' Unfortunately, the band wasn't able to support the album as much as they has planned, as a terrifying bus crash led to major injuries and kept Baroness off the road for much of the year.





3

'Dead Sara'

Dead Sara





Looking for the next big rock band? It's worth a look at Dead Sara and their self-titled breakout album. The group garnered notice for their single 'Weatherman,' which features Emily Armstrong's powerhouse vocals and some terrific guitar work from Siouxsie Medley, but the disc as a whole is great. Second single 'We Are What You Say' is another notable track, while songs like the chilling ballads 'Dear Love' and 'Sorry for It All' should deserve a longer look in 2013.





2

'House of Gold & Bones, Pt. 1'

Stone Sour





You can't have a Best Rock Albums of 2012 list without Stone Sour's ambitious record 'House of Gold & Bones, Part 1.' Singer Corey Taylor got things rolling with the double-single 'Gone Sovereign' and 'Absolute Zero,' both of which set a hard-driving tone for the disc. Meanwhile, 'Taciturn' shows that the band can hit hard even when not rocking out at 11, providing one of the more moving songs on the record. We have no doubt that 'House of Gold & Bones,' with the second half of the double album coming next year, will play a major role in 2013.





1

'Koi No Yokan'

Deftones





Deftones have found their creative rebound in recent years, and they're making sure to pounce while it's going good. Fresh off the critically acclaimed 'Diamond Eyes' album, the band continues to rock at the top of their game. 'Koi No Yokan' hits on all cylinders with cuts like the single 'Tempest,' and standout tracks 'Leathers,' 'Poltergeist' and 'Rosemary.' With the disc just arriving in mid-November, it looks as though Deftones will have plenty to celebrate over the next year – starting with being named Loudwire's Best Rock Album of 2012.

10 Best Metal Album 2012

10 Best Metal Albums of 2012

by Loudwire Staff

Phil Anselmo / BTBAM / Lamb of God

Liz Ramanand, Loudwire

This year 2012 will be remembered as one that was incredibly rich with quality metal albums, with some of extreme music’s most consistent bands having issued near-perfect additions to their discographies this year, many of the albums listed here could have easily come in at No. 1 if released in past years. Albums from Between the Buried and Me, Converge, Pig Destroyer and Gojira made 2012 an incredibly competitive year, and certainly one of the best so far in the 21st century. The year also saw stellar new releases from the likes of Down and Lamb of God, among others. For fans who lean more rock than metal, we’ve got a separate listfor you. But here, we present our picks for the 10 Best Metal Albums of 2012:

10

‘Blood for the Master’

Goatwhore

Coming in at No. 10 is Goatwhore‘s blackened death metal gem ‘Blood for the Master.’ Released on Feb. 13, the band unleashed one of their heaviest and greatest career achievements early in the year. With ‘Blood for the Master’ fueling an ever-increasing fanbase, Goatwhore earned a place on this year’s Summer Slaughter tour along with opening shows for High on Fire, Hate Eternal and 3 Inches of Blood, among others, in 2012.

9

‘Resolution’

Lamb of God

Lamb of God continued their streak of creating addictive “pure American metal” with ‘Resolution.’ The band stays the course with their latest album, with powerful consistency and flawless execution. While there is no mistaking the album’s tracks as anyone but Lamb of God, the band experiments with some doom with ‘Straight for the Sun’ and spoken word parts with ‘King Me.’ Add pummeling tracks such as ‘Desolation’ and Ghost Walking,’ and you’ve got a killer album.

8

‘Down IV, Part 1 – The Purple EP’

Down

Although ‘Down IV, Part 1 – The Purple EP’ contains only six songs, the tracks within offer a sustaining energy that carries the weight of a full-length. The vocal prowess of Phil Anselmo remains powerful, especially when delving low into his range, while the rest of Down pump out monstrous sludge into the groove-driven ‘Levitation’ and the anthemic ‘Witchtripper.’

7

‘Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light’

Woods of Ypres

The tragic death of Woods of Ypres mastermind David Gold in December 2011 was a massive loss to the metal world, and tragically, Gold did not live to see the release of ‘Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light.’ Gold harnessed immense depth and introspective thought, using death itself as the album’s central theme. ‘Woods 5′ follows a man who sees death after being struck by lightning and finds neither a God nor an afterlife.

6

‘Book Burner’

Pig Destroyer

With an album so good even Larry King contributed to it (kind of), Pig Destroyer ended a five-year wait for new material in 2012 with ‘Book Burner.’ The addition of Misery Index drummer Adam Jarvis to the lineup delivered a much dirtier and twisted sound to the new record, displayed prominently in ‘The Diplomat.’ Along with the all-knowing guitarist / producer Scott Hull and tremendous guest vocalists accompanying J.R. Hayes, the grind of Pig Destroyer remains second to none.

5

‘L’Enfant Sauvage’

Gojira

Although Gojira already possessed mountains of fans and a solid discography, the band is widely considered to be the breakout metal act of 2012. The French metallers unveiled ‘L’Enfant Sauvage’ to universal acclaim, successfully balancing the band’s key components of brutality, beauty and progression with flawless production attached. For songs like ‘The Axe,’ ‘Explosia,’ the title track and much more, we say ‘merci beaucoup’ to Gojira.

4

‘De Vermis Mysteriis’

High on Fire

High on Fire gifted fans with the incredible trippy sludge-fest ‘De Vermis Mysteriis’ in 2012, which explores the story of Jesus Christ’s time-traveling stillborn twin brother who drinks a serum to see the past through his ancestors eyes in order to discover how his brother became a religious icon. Still with us? Even if the concept goes over your head, the brilliance of tracks such as ‘Fertile Green’ and ‘King of Days’ will bring you to sonic enlightenment.

3

‘All We Love We Leave Behind’

Converge

Converge possess one of extreme music’s most impressive discographies, and ‘All We Love We Leave Behind’ ranks among the band’s crowning achievements. The group strides closer to their hardcore roots with ‘Trespesses’ and ‘Sparrow’s Fall,’ continue the legacy of Kurt Ballou’s ingenious shredding with ‘Sadness Comes Home’ and even create experimental beauty with ‘Coral Blue.’

2

‘Utilitarian’

Napalm Death

Many metalheads expected just another grind record with Napalm Death‘s 15th studio album, ‘Utilitarian.’ Those people were wrong. ‘Utilitarian’ turned out to be not just a phenomenal album, but a monumental achievement for the British legends. Barney Greenway’s unmatched voice remains terrifying and demented, while the band’s songwriting created an avant-garde niche consisting of scattered saxophone solos and otherworldly clean vocals.

1

‘The Parallax II: Future Sequence’

Between the Buried and Me

‘The Parallax II: Future Sequence’ is metal music’s greatest conceptual accomplishment of the year. Set in outer space, BTBAM have created the most complex music you’ll ever zone out to, performed by the strongest group of pure musicians within the realm of metal. Much like the band’s 2007 album, ‘Colors,’ the record takes unexpected twists and turns while sonic plates spin without the slightest wobble. For that, we crown it the Best Metal Album of 2012.


Loudwire

10 Best Rock/Metal Songs 2012

There were some incredible rock songs unleashed in 2012 from a diverse group of artists. Bands like Three Days Grace, Stone Sour and Papa Roach maintained their excellence with standout tracks at rock radio. There was a welcome return this year from Marilyn Manson, and breakout tracks from female-led bands like Halestorm and Dead Sara. It was tough to narrow the picks down to 10, but after some heated debate and occasional fisticuffs among our staff members, Loudwire has made its choices for the year’s best tunes. So check out our list of the 10 Best Rock Songs of 2012:



10

‘Chalk Outline’

Three Days Grace

From: ‘Transit of Venus’

We kick off our 10 best songs of 2012 list with Three Days Grace’s ‘Chalk Outline,’ a track that many people loved as evidenced by its 12-week reign atop the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and 10-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard Active Rock Chart. The jarring opening notes definitely catch the listener right off the bat, while singer Adam Gontier belts out lines about being cursed by a love that’s left him behind.




9

‘Still Swingin”

Papa Roach

From: ‘The Connection’

Papa Roach have battled against the odds to establish themselves as one of rock’s enduring bands, and ‘Still Swingin” provided the group with the perfect anthem to qualify their journey. It’s got blistering guitars, hard-hitting drums and a rap-like delivery in the verses before Jacoby Shaddix shows his melodic side in the chorus. As long as they keep cranking out songs like ‘Still Swingin’,’ Papa Roach will continue to stay on top of their game.





8

‘Harakiri’

Serj Tankian

From: ‘Harakiri’ (2012)

System of a Down singer Serj Tankian delivered one of the best rock albums of the year with his solo effort ‘Harakiri,’ and standing tall among the disc’s songs is the title track. Featuring perhaps the most beautifully melodic chorus in a rock song in 2012, the tune ‘Harakiri’ questions if today’s environmental factors may be playing a part in the freakish mass deaths of various animals over recent years. It’s a thought-provoking tune that is both memorable in its lyrics and its music.





7

‘Bully’

Shinedown

From: ‘Amaryllis’

Bullying has become an increasing problem in schools and the guys of Shinedown take on the issue with this blistering tune. The aggressive nature of ‘Bully’ fits perfectly with the band’s condemnation of bullying and encouragement to those being bullies to stand up for oneself. Add in Brent Smith‘s infectious sing-along lyrics and you’ve got a track that’s not only inspirational but also rocks.





6

‘No Reflection’

Marilyn Manson

From: ‘Born Villain’

Marilyn Manson experienced a musical rebirth with his 2012 album ‘Born Villain’ and the first single, ‘No Reflection,’ made it clear that the singer had recaptured the old magic that led to his superstardom in the first place. The fuzzed out opening guitars, the catchy but dark lyrical content, and a chorus where the emotion in Manson’s voice takes hold as he digs deep into his soul makes this one of 2012′s best rock tracks



5

‘Gone Sovereign’

Stone Sour

From: ‘House of Gold & Bones, Pt. 1′

‘Gone Sovereign’ was half of a two-part single that Stone Sour released in late summer (the other half being ‘Absolute Zero’), and the hard-hitting nature of the song immediately connected with fans. The frenetic power and fury of the guitar play between Jim Root and Josh Rand stands out, while Roy Mayorga’s thunderous drumming drives the song. Corey Taylor starts the song by singing, ‘No one’s laughing now,’ but the vocalist probably has a smile knowing that ‘Gone Sovereign’ has turned into one of 2012′s standout songs.





4

‘March to the Sea’

Baroness

From: ‘Yellow & Green’

Baroness had one of the year’s better, yet often overlooked, albums and one of the tracks that makes it such a standout disc is ‘March to the Sea.’ The song starts innocently enough, with some nifty psychedelic picking before the power of the drums kicks in. The track provides a hypnotic feel throughout, as the band tell the tale of a friend lost to drugs, comparing it to someone who tied themselves up and jumped in the sea never to come home again.





3

‘Love Bites (So Do I)’

Halestorm

From: ‘The Strange Case Of…’

Halestorm got 2012 off to a rocking good start with the single ‘Love Bites (So Do I),’ a song that was an infectious concoction of punk, thrash and rock all in one foot-tapping, fist-pumping package. Drummer Arejay Hale absolutely kills the drumkit, while Lzzy Hale tells the tale of a girl honing in on a guy with a girlfriend and explaining why she should be his. ‘Love Bites’ became the first song ever from a female-fronted act to be No. 1 on the Active Rock charts. Well done, Halestorm!





2

‘Leathers’

Deftones

From: ‘Koi No Yokan’

Fans certainly were excited when Deftones announced the impending release of their album ‘Koi No Yokan,’ but it was the first song unleashed from the disc that truly sent the band’s devotees into a frenzy. While not the official first single, ‘Leathers’ is the most dynamic song on a disc that took the top spot on our 10 Best Rock Albums of 2012 list. Chino Moreno’s voice soars to new heights when he sings the line ‘Shedding your skin / Showing your texture.” All told, ‘Leathers’ just might be the most powerful rock song of 2012.





1

‘Weatherman’

Dead Sara

From: ‘Dead Sara’

Every once in a while, the rock world needs a swift kick in the butt from a new band. And in 2012, it was Los Angeles rock act Dead Sara who delivered the most dynamic song of the year. ‘Weatherman’ is a raw, uninhibited tune that perfectly melds frontwoman Emily Armstrong’s incredible voice with a no-holds-barred musical attack led by guitarist Souixsie Medley. The track features the memorable line ‘Go for the kill,’ and that’s exactly what Dead Sara did with ‘Weatherman,’ making it the No. 1 tune on our list of the best rock songs of 2012.

10 Best RHCP Songs

It's been a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and we're attempting to count down the 10 Best Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs. To help narrow things down, we're keeping it to original tracks, which knocks out their splendid covers of 'Higher Ground' and 'Love Rollercoaster,' but there's still so many other great songs to choose from. From their early days as a college rock/party band through their present day reign as chart-topping hitmakers, singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist extraordinaire Flea have kept the band's spirit lively and sound extra funky. They've been joined on their mission by guitarists Hillel Slovak, Jack Sherman, DeWayne McKnight, John Frusciante, Arik Marshall, Jesse Tobias, Dave Navarro, and Josh Klinghoffer and drummers Jack Irons, Cliff Martinez, D.H. Peligro, and Chad Smith, and have rarely missed a step. So let's take you to the songs you love, take you all the way, and count down the 10 Best Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs:



10.'Suck My Kiss'

From: 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' (1991)





Red Hot Chili Peppers may have gotten more commercial around the 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' era, but 'Suck My Kiss' still had the energy and ferocity of some of their early albums. The track is driven by Flea's ferocious bass playing, while Anthony Kiedis delivers overly-amorous lyrics about his partner's obvious sexiness.





9.'Brendan's Death Song'

From: 'I'm With You' (2011)





'Brendan's Death Song' is a new tune, but it makes our 10 Best Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs as an example of a band connecting as one, letting their emotions from a traumatic experience flow simultaneously in perfect harmony. The group penned the track for late Los Angeles club owner and close friend Brendan Mullen, who gave the band their first break. Anthony Kiedis said the song was instantaneous after he delivered the news to his bandmates, and his voice, in particular, reaches emotional levels not heard prior on the band's records.





8.'Californication'

From: 'Californication' (1999)





The title track from Red Hot Chili Peppers 'Californication' album definitely shows the band's dance-with-the-dark side of life in Hollywood. The group delves into the superficial nature of modern society, with references like “Space may be the final frontier / But it's made in a Hollywood basement” and “Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging” lamenting an increasingly plastic world. The song would reach No. 1 on both the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock Tracks charts.





7.'Knock Me Down'

From: 'Mother's Milk' (1989)





Still reeling from the death of guitarist Hillel Slovak, Red Hot Chili Peppers found themselves in the midst of a band shakeup, with Chad Smith and John Frusciante eventually coming on board. Anthony Kiedis was also coming out of rehab and wrote this song about his withdrawal and realizing that if Slovak could die, he too was invincible.





6.'Dani California'

From: 'Stadium Arcadium' (2006)





The character of Dani California was first conjured up by Anthony Kiedis in 1999's 'Californication' and continued her journey in the 2002 single 'By the Way,' but with 2006's 'Stadium Arcadium,' the singer used the character as a representation of many women he knew in his life and built a full song around her. The video featured the band representing the different eras and genres of music that influenced their style. The group would win Grammy awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal for the track.





5.'Breaking the Girl'

From: 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' (1991)





'Breaking the Girl' found singer Anthony Kiedis dipping into his personal life for material. The singer revealed in his 'Scar Tissue' autobiography that the song was about the turbulent relationship with his ex-girlfriend, and also his father's relationship with women. The track is driven by Chad Smith's percussive instrumentation, and Flea's initially hypnotic and later aggressive bass playing.





4.'By the Way'

From: 'By the Way' (2002)





'By the Way' earns its spot among the 10 Best Red Hot Chili Peppers tracks for its ability to show the band's strengths. The John Frusciante guitar line demonstrates a melody-driven style, while Chad Smith and Flea deliver a full-on audio assault on drums and bass. Singer Anthony Kiedis told Kerrang of the song, “I thought that single was an über-bombastic assault of non-commercialism.” The track is No. 8 on Loudwire's Top 21st Century Hard Rock Songs list.





3.'Give It Away'

From: 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' (1991)





If ever there were a guitar lick and drum beat that told you exactly what band it was, 'Give It Away' is that song for Red Hot Chili Peppers. While the lyrics may seem nonsensical, the group revealed on VH1's 'Behind the Music' that the track comes form the idea that the more that you give, the more you receive, so why not give it all away. Kiedis would later say that his girlfriend at the time, Nina Hagen, inspired the lyrics, after she gave him a jacket he liked from her closet.



2.'Scar Tissue'

From: 'Californication' (1999)





'Scar Tissue' is a must for the 10 Best Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs. The cut would serve as the band's first single marking the return of guitarist John Frusciante to the lineup after dealing with the substance abuse issues. The track itself featured themes of life and resurrection, which reflected not only Frusciante's return but other band members' abilities to emerge from their past demons as well. The moniker would also serve as the title for Anthony Kiedis' future biography.





1.'Under the Bridge'

From: 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' (1991)





The song that catapulted the band to superstardom was also one in which Anthony Kiedis laid his soul bare for all to see. The track was about the singer's heroin addiction and his own isolation the deeper he got into the drug. The lyrics initially were part of a poem, and producer Rick Rubin reportedly convinced the singer to explore them as a song. The track also featured a wide style shift, from the somber opening guitar chords through the mid-tempo drum beats up to the climactic finale.

10 Best Metallica Song of All Timee

Picking the 10 best Metallica songs might just be the hardest thing we've ever tried to do. As one of the most successful and internationally recognized bands around, Metallica's discography includes nine studio albums and over 40 singles, all created and released over the course of more than three decades. This huge catalog is the foundation for Metallica's success that has now reached beyond the world of music, whether it be a critically acclaimed documentary or their own music festival or an in-the-works 3D movie that showcases their one-of-a-kind live concerts. As fans eagerly await the band's next studio album, we've racked our brains to a mushy pulp to come up with this list of the 10 Best Metallica Songs:



10.'Fuel'

From: 'ReLoad' (1997)





'Fuel' is the most popular tune from 1997's 'ReLoad,' and it is hard to argue against it being one of Metallica's best songs. With the ferocious intro delivered a cappella by James Hetfield, the song never lets up for the four and a half minutes it runs. 'Fuel' definitely serves up the fastest-paced and most in-your-face song from 'ReLoad' – and arguably outshines any tune on the band's previous album, 'Load.'



9.'Fade to Black'

From: 'Ride the Lightning' (1984)





Call it a ballad if you must, but 'Fade to Black' is one of Metallica's best songs if for no other reason than it shows just how talented the band really is. Being Metallica's first true slow song, it covers the theme of suicide and is the first track that guitarist Kirk Hammett received co-writing credit on. Despite being slow-paced, the tune still conveys brutality and intensity, whether it's through Hetfield's lyrics or Hammett's guitar solos.





8.'…And Justice for All'

From: '…And Justice for All' (1988)





One of the most complex songs in Metallica's catalog, '…And Justice for All' stretches to nearly 10 minutes long. Due to its complexity and length, it has been a rarity for fans to enjoy the song live at Metallica concerts. However, the common absence of the song from setlists does not make it any less powerful. The band's fans had high expectations following 'Master of Puppets' and with the '…And Justice for All' title track, Metallica proved that they were still on top of the metal world.





7.'Battery'

From: 'Master of Puppets' (1986)





Selecting the order of tracks for 'Master of Puppets' was no doubt a hard task, but picking 'Battery' to open the album was a stroke of genius. The song opens with an acoustic guitar riff – just like the opening track of 'Ride the Lightning' — that leads into the band joining in with full-on power and intensity. The song is one of current bassist Robert Trujillo's favorites as he requested to begin his audition with Metallica by jamming on the tune, further cementing late bassist Cliff Burton's legendary status.





6.'For Whom the Bell Tolls'

From: 'Ride the Lightning' (1984)





'For Whom the Bell Tolls' is inspired from the Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name, and is one of the most-played songs at Metallica concerts. It has become a fan-favorite no doubt due to that unique opening that sounds like a guitar, but is actually the sound of Cliff Burton playing a bass fed through distortion. 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' was first released as a promotional single, which meant it never hit the charts.





5.'Seek & Destroy'

From: 'Kill 'Em All' (1983)





'Seek and Destroy' first made its debut on Metallica's demo tape, 'No Life 'til Leather.' Thirty years later, it still stands out as one of the band's premiere songs. Since around 2004, it has been the staple tune the band jams on to end their live shows. With obvious influences from bands like Diamond Head and Saxon, 'Seek and Destroy' has turned into an anthem for Metallica fans throughout the world. With the piercing opening guitar riff to the brutal lyrics of “Running / On our way hiding / You will pay dying / One thousand deaths,” everything builds up to the climactic and powerful chorus: “Searching / Seek and destroy!“





4.'One'

From: '…And Justice for All' (1988)





The last single to be released from '…And Justice for All,' 'One' sets itself apart as one of the best songs recorded by Metallica because of its build-up from a slow, clean, haunting opening to a heavy, fast and absolutely shattering ending. That ending features an unforgettable solo from axeman Hammett as well as an earth-shattering display of Lars Ulrich's double-bass drum kit. To make the song even better, Metallica recorded their first music video around it, a dark video that splices together footage from the 1971 anti-war film, 'Johnny Got His Gun,' with shots of the band playing the song.





3.'Enter Sandman'

From: 'Metallica' (1991)





'Enter Sandman' might have one of the most recognizable guitar riffs around, and as the first track, sets the stage for Metallica's self-titled 1991 disc (aka The Black Album). With a dark theme that follows a child and his nightmares, one of the most memorable moments in Metallica's career comes when producer Bob Rock's son recites the line 'Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep' alongside Hetfield. Nowadays, fans can hear the song in a number of places outside of the album, including football games, baseball games and a slew of other athletic events.





2.'Creeping Death'

From: 'Ride the Lightning' (1984)





Taking their cue from the Bible, specifically the book of Exodus, Metallica deliver an instant thrash classic from their second studio album. Packed with Metallica's signature sound, the highlight of the song has also turned into a staple at Metallica's live show. After a blistering guitar solo and about four minutes into the song, the chanting of 'Die! Die! Die!' makes 'Creeping Death' a song Metallica fans will always bang their heads to.



1.'Master of Puppets'

From: 'Master of Puppets' (1986)





One of heavy metal's best songs ever, 'Master of Puppets' opens with a crushing guitar riff that carries the tune for over eight and a half minutes. The dynamic opus that covers the theme of drugs and addiction has become a mainstay in Metallica's live set. It's been covered an innumerable amount of times by bands of several different genres, and was reportedly Cliff Burton's favorite Metallica track. While fans will argue over this for years to come, 'Master of Puppets' tops our list of the 10 best Metallica songs of all time.



What's on Your List of the Best Metallica Songs?

Now that you've seen our list of Metallica's best songs, what do you think we missed? With nine studio albums, it was nearly impossible to cover every epic song released by the legendary band.

10 Best Grunge Bands

Grunge — it was the sound that defined the early '90s, and with this list of the 10 Best Grunge Bands, we're looking back on the acts that started a musical revolution and turned the music world on its ear. As the '80s gave way to the '90s, there was a need to shake things up from the status quo, and the sound called grunge was there to not only fill a void but to engulf the music scene as a whole. It paved the way for a wealth of frequently overlooked acts and all of a sudden, harder-edged, gritty music typically only heard on college radio was finally making its way into the public lexicon. Seattle became the center of the music universe; sweaty concert halls were once again the place to be; and flannel became a fashion statement. So let's crank up some distortion and count down the 10 Best Grunge Bands:



Mudhoney

Sub Pop

10

Mudhoney





Mudhoney are one of grunge's most consistently solid and enduring bands. The group had its roots in the '80s act Green River, a band that many point to as one of the pioneers of the grunge sound. Mark Arm and Steve Turner emerged from Green River to start Mudhoney and while they didn't reach the commercial success of some of their peers, tracks like 'Touch Me I'm Sick,' 'Let It Slide' and 'Suck You Dry' became well-respected grunge anthems.

Listen to 'Touch Me I'm Sick'





Courtney Love

9

Hole





It took a while for Hole to emerge from the shadow of Courtney Love's late husband, Kurt Cobain, but 1994's 'Live Through This' was the album that finally broke them to a mass audience. Courtney Love's raspy voice hit the perfect mark on 'Miss World,' 'Doll Parts,' and 'Violet,' and though the band's sound began to evolve with 1998's 'Celebrity Skin,' songs like the title track and 'Awful' still had their roots in that undeniably gritty grunge sound.

Listen to 'Miss World'





Mother Love Bone

8

Mother Love Bone





For many, the brilliance of Mother Love Bone wasn't discovered until after the band was no more. Sadly, singer Andrew Wood died of a drug overdose just days before the release of their first disc. The album did produce such grunge favorites as 'Stardog Champion' and 'Crown of Thorns' (the 'Chloe Dancer' intro portion would be added for the 'Singles' soundtrack). The group was also notable for being the pre-Pearl Jam band for Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard.

Listen to 'Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns'





Screaming Trees

7

Screaming Trees





Screaming Trees may have hit it big with 'Nearly Lost You,' but the band was well versed in their sound long before most people picked up on grunge. Led by the increasingly deep vocals of Mark Lanegan and the driving bass and guitar work of brothers Van and Gary Lee Conner, the band emerged as one of the leaders of the grunge movement. While 'Nearly Lost You' became their calling card, tracks like 'Dollar Bill,' 'Shadow of the Season,' and 'Bed or Roses' were also favorites in the band's catalog.

Listen to 'Nearly Lost You'





The Melvins

Facebook: The Melvins

6

The Melvins





The Melvins, led by singer/guitarist Buzz Osbourne and drummer Dale Crover, are considered one of the pioneers of what would become grunge and thus deserve their spot among the Top 10 Grunge Bands. Their slow-moving, trudging sound became an influence for up-and-coming Seattle bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. The band is still going strong today, and songs like 'Hooch,' 'Honey Bucket' and 'Night Goat' are as solid as they come.

Listen to 'Honey Bucket'





Stone Temple Pilots

Facebook: Stone Temple Pilots

5

Stone Temple Pilots





Could grunge grow outside of Seattle? That was the question in 1992, when San Diego-based rockers Stone Temple Pilots arrived with their 'Core' album, leading the second wave of grunge. The brutal lead single 'Sex Type Thing' introduced the band and vocal style of Scott Weiland. But it was the second song 'Plush,' with its memorable rhythmic guitar lines that truly established the band. Though they would evolve into a more straight-ahead rock band over time, the 'Core' and 'Purple' records had songs firmly implanted in the grunge sound.

Listen to 'Plush'





Soundgarden

Facebook: Soundgarden

4

Soundgarden





After forming in Seattle in the '80s, Soundgarden finally broke through with the 1991 single 'Outshined,' followed by the spirited follow-up 'Rusty Cage.' Blending in some of their punk roots, Soundgarden provided a frenetic interpretation early on before settling into a moodier, more trudging sound. Singer Chris Cornell shined on such hits as 'Spoonman,' 'Black Hole Sun,' 'Fell on Black Days,' and 'Pretty Noose.' There's no doubt Soundgarden deserves their upper echelon ranking in the Top 10 Grunge Bands list.

Listen to 'Outshined'





Alice in Chains

3

Alice in Chains





Was there a more impactful partnership in the grunge scene than Alice in Chains guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell and powerhouse frontman Layne Staley? The pair's harmonies were unmatched, with Staley delivering the extra punch when things got really heavy. 'Man in the Box' put them on the musical map in 1991, and by the following year, they spawned the grunge masterpiece, 'Dirt,' which featured such classics as 'Would?,' 'Rooster,' 'Them Bones' and 'Angry Chair.'

Listen to 'Man in the Box'





Pearl Jam

2

Pearl Jam





Formed after the demise of Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam emerged from the ashes to soar with 1991's 'Ten' album. The rhythmically heavy 'Alive' set the tone for the group, while the hard-hitting 'Even Flow' cemented their status as a band to be reckoned with. And by the time 'Jeremy' commanded MTV's airwaves, everyone knew Pearl Jam. The 'Vs.' and 'Vitalogy' albums kept the grunge vibes going, and the band is still one of the most successful touring acts to this day.

Listen to 'Alive'





Nirvana

1

Nirvana





It's hard to argue against Nirvana as the No. 1 act of our 10 Best Grunge Bands list, as they essentially put the genre on the map with their 1991 classic, 'Nevermind.' But things didn't stop with 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' as 'Come As You Are,' 'Lithium' and their 'In Utero' favorites 'Heart Shaped Box' and 'Rape Me' are as good as they come in the grunge world. Sadly, we lost Kurt Cobain in 1994, but the fact that the band reached iconic status speaks to the quality of the music and their dominance in such a short timespan.

Listen to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'

10 Best Slayer Song

Choosing the 10 best Slayer songs is a difficult task, considering the band's prolific career. Having unleashed a brand of unforgiving thrash metal for over 30 years, Slayer are one of the most iconic and influential bands of all time. Beyond the realms of metal, Slayer have almost built an entire ecosystem around their music, which has seen great appreciation and respect from all types of music fans. As one of thrash's 'Big Four,' Slayer have pummeled fans with 11 albums, two live records, four gold-selling discs and five Grammy nominations (including two wins). Slayer are currently in the process of writing their 12th studio album, which is tentatively set for a 2013 release, but for now, we celebrate the band's phenomenal career with our picks of the 10 Best Slayer Songs.



10

'Chemical Warfare'

From: 'Haunting the Chapel' EP (1984)





After the success of Slayer's debut album, 'Show No Mercy,' Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel reportedly pushed the idea of Slayer releasing an EP. Slayer were already playing 'Chemical Warfare' at their live shows, so releasing the song as soon as humanly possible was an obvious move. The track unveils an incredible power through pure grit, and is a favorite of old-school Slayer fans. 'Chemical Warfare' and the rest of the 'Haunting the Chapel' EP was later included in the 1987 re-release of 'Show No Mercy.'

Listen to 'Chemical Warfare'





9

'Cult'

From: 'Christ Illusion' (2006)





After the strong response to 'God Hates Us All,' Slayer continued their challenge against religion with their 2006 full-length, 'Christ Illusion.' Although the album features two Grammy Award-winning songs, 'Eyes of the Insane' and 'Final Six,' track number nine, 'Cult' is arguably the album's greatest creative achievement. The Kerry King-penned track questions Christianity with vivid and intense lyrics that singer Tom Araya delivers with ultimate conviction.

Listen to 'Cult'





8

'Disciple'

From: 'God Hates Us All' (2001)





As somewhat of a return to form for Slayer, the band unleashed 'God Hates Us All' in 2001, with 'Disciple' instantly becoming a fan favorite. The unforgettable yell of 'God hates us all!' gave a new iconic phrase for Slayer fans to scream along with frontman Tom Araya. In an incredibly strange coincidence, the 'God Hates Us All' album was released on Sept. 11, 2001, giving the album an additional dark overtone.

Listen to 'Disciple'





7

'Dead Skin Mask'

From: 'Seasons in the Abyss' (1990)





It's utterly ridiculous how Slayer were able to cram so many iconic riffs into one album, but they achieved unparalleled creative success with 'Seasons in the Abyss' and the standout track 'Dead Skin Mask.' The prime cut was inspired by infamous murderer Ed Gein, who wore the skin of his dead victims. Adding a further piece of horror to 'Dead Skin Mask,' a voice of a child can be heard in the outro, crying, “I don't want to play anymore, Mr. Gein,” and “Let me out!”

Listen to 'Dead Skin Mask'





6

'Hell Awaits'

From: 'Hell Awaits' (1985)





As the title track to one of metal's most influential releases, 'Hell Awaits' is one of the key Slayer tracks that demonstrates the diabolic atmosphere that the band is able to conjure. Although the track is mostly instrumental, 'Hell Awaits' grabs you with a Satanic grip as is drags you down into the fiery pit. This track can only be described as purely terrifying.

Listen to 'Hell Awaits'





5

'War Ensemble'

From: 'Seasons in the Abyss' (1990)





Opening the 'Seasons in the Abyss' album with Slayer's classic take-no-prisoners attitude, 'War Ensemble' is without a doubt one of the strongest beginnings to an album in metal history. Still a staple of their live show decades after the release of 'Seasons in the Abyss,' 'War Ensemble' never fails to incite screams of 'Sport the war! / War support!' while Tom Araya concludes the iconic chorus with, 'The final swing is not a drill / It's how many people I can kill.'

Listen to 'War Ensemble'





4

'South of Heaven'

From: 'South of Heaven' (1988)





Honing yet another memorable lick that only Slayer could unleash with such undercurrent, 'South of Heaven' is yet another cut that delves its demonic hooks into your flesh. 'South of Heaven' floats somewhere within the many lakes of fire explored by Slayer, taking the listener to an igneous crypt completely new to metalheads at the time, but all too familiar to the devil's favorite band.

Listen to 'South of Heaven'





3

'Angel of Death'

From: 'Reign in Blood' (1986)





Beginning with a scream that embodies the suffering felt within the walls of the Auschwitz concentration camp, 'Angel of Death' is written from the perspective of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. The doctor has become infamous for the sadistic experimentations he performed upon Auschwitz prisoners, including children. For this, he was gifted with the title, 'Angel of Death.' Slayer explored the monstrous acts carried out by Mengele with lyrics such as “Surgery, with no anesthesia / Feel the knife pierce you intensely.”

Listen to 'Angel of Death'





2

'Seasons in the Abyss'

From: 'Seasons in the Abyss' (1990)





As the closing chapter to the album of the same name, 'Seasons in the Abyss' shows what Slayer can achieve musically without constantly driving at full speed. Much like some of their earlier works, Slayer creates a hellish atmosphere with 'Seasons in the Abyss,' with the feel of the track complementing the title perfectly. Don't go to sleep while this song is playing, because you'll surely dream about walking through the realm of purgatory.

Listen to 'Seasons in the Abyss'





1

'Raining Blood'

From: 'Reign in Blood' (1986)





Thunder strikes as the sound of menacing rain and electric shrieks of perdition echo across the realm of the eternally damned. As the demonic sound begins to crescendo, Slayer take hold as they unveil one of the most evil riffs in metal history. From the 'Reign in Blood' album, which many considered to be the heaviest record on history at the time, 'Raining Blood' feels like it was handed down by the devil himself. As a band who perfected the concept of atmospherically evil thrash, 'Raining Blood' is certainly one of metal's highest peaks, as well as the most immortal achievement of Slayer.

Listen to 'Raining Blood'

10 Catchiest Metal Song Ever

Loudwire

When you think of heavy metal songs, the first words that come to your mind might be 'intense,' 'powerful' and in some cases, 'demonic.' But one word that may not pop in your head right away is 'catchy.' Metal music has not always been at the forefront of commercial culture, but just think about how many iconic metal tracks have turned up in television ads over the last few years. Not to mention, how many times do you hear metal songs used at sporting events to pump up a crowd? You're probably already conjuring up guitar licks from Randy Rhoads, Tony Iommi, and Kirk Hammett in your heads. And why do those riffs so easily come to mind? Because they're catchy, that's why! So that got us thinking about the most infectious songs in metal history — and they have to rock, no ballads here. So get ready to sing along, as we bring you the 10 Catchiest Metal Songs.



10.Dio Holy Diver





From: 'Holy Diver' (1983)

One of the keys to a catchy song is making sure there's something that sticks in your mind, and Ronnie James Dio's enunciation in 'Holy Diver' makes it a natural for our list. By putting the emphasis on 'diver' and 'tiger' in a certain manner not typically heard on those words, it stands out. Add in a driving melody and lyrics that are easy to sing along with, and 'Holy Diver' is like a piece of ear candy that keeps on giving.

Listen to 'Holy Diver'





9.Motorhead Ace Of Spades





From: 'Ace of Spades' (1980)

Motorhead aren't exactly a “singles” band, but 'Ace of Spades' will forever be one of their most recognizable tunes. Here's one where the guitar play leads the way, with “Fast” Eddie Clarke providing a blistering piece of music for Lemmy Kilmister to sing over. The hyper-frenetic pacing of the song amps up most listeners, and being able to belt 'The Ace of Spades / The Ace of Spades' along with Lemmy is simply the icing on the cake.

Listen to 'Ace of Spades'





8.Iron Maiden Run To The Hills





From: 'Number of the Beast' (1982)

'Run to the Hills' would be the song that truly marked Bruce Dickinson's arrival in Iron Maiden, and in the process it became one of their biggest hits. Besides being a rather cool homage to the battle between European settlers and Native Americans in the New World, the song just rocked because of Dickinson's powerful voice that kicked into full gear during the chorus.

Listen to 'Run to the Hills'



7.Pantera Walk





From: 'Vulgar Display of Power' (1992)

The odd 12/8 time signature of Pantera's 'Walk,' led by the repetitive guitar riffing of Dimebag Darrell throughout makes this one of the simplest beats to follow. The song also makes the 10 Catchiest Metal Songs for one key element — the chant. While some may not be able to scream through gutteral verses like Phil Anselmo does, even the most timid fan can chant along to “Re – spect! / Walk! / Are you talking to me?“

Listen to 'Walk'





6.Black Sabbath Paranoid





From: 'Paranoid' (1970)

With 'Paranoid,' Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi laid down one of the most recognizable opening riffs to a song. As if that didn't call you to attention, the powerhouse vocals of Ozzy Osbourne melding perfectly with the band's backing certainly should. Ironically, a song about being unable to find satisfaction in life has become one of the most satisfying tracks in both rock and metal history.

Listen to 'Paranoid'





5.Guns N Roses Paradise City





From: 'Appetite for Destruction' (1987)

For catchiness, it's hard to top the instantly recognizable lines, “Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.” It's so good that it not only starts the song, but also ramps up the chorus. Add in the guitar attack of Slash and Izzy Stradlin, the specific beat of Steven Adler's drumming early on, and Axl Rose's signature wail, and you've got one of the catchiest songs ever.

Listen to 'Paradise City'





4.Metallica Enter Sandman





From: 'Metallica' (1991)

It's no wonder that Metallica's fifth album was the one that broke them to the masses when you have a song like 'Enter Sandman' leading the way. The hypnotic opening licks from Kirk Hammett building up into the aggression of the track has made the song an anthem. James Hetfield taking a well-known children's prayer and incorporating it into a darkly-themed song didn't hurt in grabbing the collective consciousness either.

Listen to 'Enter Sandman'





3.Judas Priest The Best Of Living After Midnight



From: 'British Steel' (1980)

One thing that is common in all of the 10 Catchiest Metal Songs is some excellent guitar work, and the interplay of Judas Priest's Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing keep the song both bouncy in some parts and chugging at other times, but compelling throughout. 'Living After Midnight' also delivers easy to understand lyrics and a certain energy in Rob Halford's vocals that just get stuck in your brain.

Listen to 'Living After Midnight'





2.AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long





From: 'Back in Black' (1980)

Some have argued that AC/DC songs sound incredibly similar, but as the saying goes, “If it's not broke, why fix it?” 'You Shook Me All Night Long' is one of the band's biggest hits thanks to recognizable lyrics like, “She was a fast machine / she kept her motor clean / was the best damn woman that I ever seen.” How can you not love that visual image — especially when put to some great drumming and guitar work? All these years later, AC/DC are still knocking us out with this one.

Listen to 'You Shook Me All Night Long'





1.Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train





From: 'Blizzard of Ozz' (1980)

Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' was the first single released from 'Blizzard of Ozz' and the song's upbeat message struck a chord with many. Randy Rhoads' guitar work on the track made him one of the most respected guitarists going, and you'd be hard pressed not to find someone who won't follow the sound of the vibraslap with “Ay, Ay, Ay” thanks to Osbourne. You've heard it, you know it, and 'Crazy Train' deserves its spot atop the 10 Catchiest Metal Songs.

Listen to 'Crazy Train'





What Do You Think Is The Catchiest Metal Song?

There you have it — the catchiest metal songs, guaranteed to be stuck in your head at least for the rest of the day if not longer. Did we miss anything? Let us know what songs you think should have made the list and what you would knock out in the comments section below.

The calling of the wildness will
never change in their blood,
they all come from Inner
Mongolia. Like the faithful
cavalry sweep down from
grassland, their music can
bring you to the vast plain
under the unlimited sky of
their hometown.

It's really hard to spread some
Chinese traditional folk
culture to the youth
nowadays, the impact from
the west limited their
creativity. The Ego-Fall is quite
a good example of how to
balance the west and the east,
the modern times and the
tradition. You cannot judge
their music only from the way
of playing, everything are
melted in one.

Their unique
performing integrate the
horse head string, hoomi (a
kind of Mongolia throat
singing, different from tibetan
tantra's), and electrosonic
instrument.

The Ego-Fall, lead their music
with the spirit of the wolf,
overturn the boundary
between the west and the
east.

10 Vokalis HeavyMetal Terbaik Sepanjang Masa

NME yang merupakan majalah
musik indie telah membuat
daftar 10 vokalis heavy metal
terbaik.

Tidak dapat disangkal lagi
bahwa setiap vokalis di dafar
tersebut layak untuk
mendapatkan pujian tertinggi.
Berikut daftar tersebut :

1.Ronnie James Dio (Black
Sabbath, Dio, Heaven & Hell,
Rainbow, Elf).

Berkebangsaan
Itali, meninggal hampir sekitar
setahun lalu, sering
memenangkan polling sebagai
vokalis rock terhebat
sepanjang masa.

2.Mike Patton (Faith No
More, Mr Bungle)

Terkenal dengan teriakannya,
dan sebagai salah satu dari
pendiri Ipecac Records, Mike
juga sebagai vokalis metal
yang sangat berbakat dan
serba bisa. Tidak hanya
sebagai vokalis, ia juga
mengatur semua sound effect
seperti yang ditemukan saat
berkolaborasi dengan
Beatboxer Rahzel.

3.Bruce Dickinson (Iron
Maiden)

Mari kita lihat CVnya : pilot,
pemain anggar, penyiar,
penulis lagu, sutradara,
musisi, penulis skenario,
aktor, direktur pemasaran,
pengusaha. Sangat hebat,
akan tetapi bakat utamanya
ada di heavy metal. Mungkin
bakat tersebut memang
mengalir di darahnya, karena
sang kakak juga adalah salah
satu dari vokalis dari band
metal.

4. Rob Halford (Judas Priest)

Metal tidak hanya sekedar
berteriak dan menyanyikan
lagu dengan kencang. Rob
Halford dengan vokalnya
setinggi 6 oktav(once upon a
time) menunjukkan kepada
dunia bagaimana suara yang
tinggi tetap cocok untuk heavy
metal.

5.Ozzy Osbourne (Black
Sabbath)

Dijuluki pangeran kegelapan
yang melahirkan genre heavy
metal, dan dia memiliki
kepribadian untuk
membuktikannya. Siapa selain
dirinya yang mentato
namanya di tangan
menggunakan jarum jahit?
Dan jangan lupa ia juga
menghisap kelelawar, lebih
tepatnya dapat dipanggil Raja
Kegelapan.

6. Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses)

PentolanGuns N' Roses atau
lebih tepat disebut sebagai
ruhnya Guns N' Roses,
pemimpin dari salah satu band
