deman

Now that the year is coming to an end, what were your favourite metal songs of the year.

My top 10 in no particular order (with youtube links)....

Fair To Midland: Dance Of The Manatee
Megadeth - A tout le monde
Walttari - Get Stamped
Amorphis - Silent Waters
Nightwish - Amaranth
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
Mustasch - Double Nature
Apocalyptica & Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus
Iron Maiden - Different World Released 26/12/2006
Linkin Park - Given Up

Fallen Seraph

Isn't A tout le monde pushing it a little for a 2007 song...?

A great song nonetheless.


I've been a serious fan of all of Job for a Cowboy's Genesis album.

It's a remake

Ah, so it is. The original was better, tbh. Still, quite the epic song.

Alcoholocaust

Ahh, I like Machine Head's "Halo". They were pretty savage live, too.
Also, Megadeth's "Burnt Ice" was class, and same goes for Down's "Over The Under" album. Can't name any particular songs, it was a masterpiece of an album.

None of those songs are released, but oh well.

Fad

clenching the fists of dissent - machine head

it cant be beaten and i cant stop listening to it

Not sure if it qualifies as metal but the song Blackbird from Alter Bridge's sophomore album of the same name is quite possibly my song of the year.

Link

****ing brilliant imo.

CyberWaste

I quite liked Gallows - Staring at the rude bois. Im not a fan really of Gallows though. Also Foo Fighters - Long Road to Ruin.

Prezatch

Eugh, pretty horrible songs for the most part there op. You chose the ultimate selection of cheese...and i hate to break it to you but the foo fighters are far from metal!! Good in the early days but should have quit while they were ahead.

My top songs would be:

Nile - As he creates, so he destroys - http://profile.imeem.com/7MaadI/music/ZalajGkP/nile_as_he_creates_so_he_destroys/

Farmakon - Time Tables

Dying Fetus - Homicidal Retribution

spiritcrusher

Hmm... Here's a few the most memorable songs for me:
Dream Theater - Anything from Systematic Chaos
Rotting Christ - Sign of Prime Creation + Keravnos Kivernitos
Nile - Papyrus Containing the Spell....
High On Fire - Turk
Candlemass - Devil Seed + Of Stars and Smoke
Darkthrone - Canadian Metal
Desaster - Tyrannizer (and most of the new album)
Rush - Far Cry

Pugsley

"Mael Mordha - Gaeltacht Mael Mordha" would be very high up on the list for me anyway, and Farmakons 'Robin' album is just fantastic in its entirety, other great songs include:
Pelican - Far From Fields
Dimmu Borgir - The Serpentine Offering
Amorphis - The White Swan, and, I of Crimson Blood
Sarpanitum - Halls of Decadence
Obscurus Advocam - Bounded Artefact

Nightwish

There's lots of songs that weren't released that were some of the finest of 07, but the top singles for me are:

Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful
Within Temptation - The Howling
Epica - Never Enough
Apocalyptica - I'm Not Jesus
Globus - Orchard of Mines (not exactly metal, but cinematic rock)

gizmo

Speaking of Nightwish and unreleased songs, Last Of The Wilds also deserves a mention I think. One of my fave instrumentals since Crimson Tide/Deep Blue Sea.

Malice

I though Machine Head's Aesthetics of Hate would have been mentioned before this. It's easily the best song of 2007 in my opinion. Phil Demmel's guitar work is just fantastic and Dave McClain's drumming is so intricate and yet manages to hold the whole thing together effortlessly.

Otis Driftwood

Municipal Waste - Beer pressure

Rattlehead_ie

Agreed and it's brilliant live also.

Evile's "Bathe in Blood" is one of my highlights from 2007.

+1 for Pelican

Porcupine Tree - Anesthethize

And eh, that's all that stood out to me really O.o Didn't get many metal albums this year at all.

slayerking

Best song of 2007 for me has gotta be

'The Dark Eternal Night' By 'Dream Theater.

What a riff!!!

mp3guy

Hmm, I'd have to say;

Akercocke - Man Without Faith Or Trust
Nightwish - Cadence Of Her Last Breath
Nile - Papyrus Containing The Spell To Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In The Water
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
Tesseract - Concealing Fate Part 1

Didn't buy many new 2007 releases.

Prezatch

Oh yea, definitely another +1 for Porcupine Tree - Anesthethize

agreed! amazing song live as well.

Apocalyptica - I'm not Jesus

Hmmmm, Dream Theater ... the Dark Eternal Night has some tasty riffs in it, although from a complete song perspective I personally like the 'Ministry of Lost Souls' better. Not a technically better song, I just like it more.

The Foo Fighters - toss up between 'the Pretender' and 'Let it Die'
