I have about a gazillion songs...but I'll mention 3.

Chimaira
Pictures In The Gold Room - 4:26
The first 3 seconds just make me want to go crazy. Especially hearing this song live, the guitars going, just...lovely. Then when the drums start in, the song is just heavy.

Then about 27 seconds in when Mark hits "Screams heard from a distance..." and the guitars all in sync.

Of course all of Chimairas drumming is magnificent, I think it's at its best in this song.

Andols=win (Even though he's not in the band anymore:mad: )

Then when Mark hits that last "extinction", love it, then it goes into the first verse again. lovely.


Opeth
Master's Apprentices - 10:32
I actually have about 20 favorite Opeth songs, but I've been listening to "Deliverance" a lot lately and this one of my favorite songs, next to "Deliverance" which Arioch mentioned already. (I like it for the same reasons also)

But the thing I like about 'Master's Apprentices' are the lyrics, guitar and drums.

"fading away
and leaving
long for sleep
closer now
lead the way into death"

Best set of lyrics in the song I think. The vocals are amazing as always. Especially on the chorus.

I love at about 5:15 when the song slows down. I love how Opeth always fucking does this. They do it well too. Then you expect the rest of the song to be all nice and acoustic...but no, Opeth must bash your fucking head in with it's amazing music.

"plunging into the deepest void
departed shell left drained behind"

Oh my fucking god...is there no mercy from how much Opeth kicks ass when it reaches 7:44?

There's no more to say on how much this song kicks your ass.

Meshuggah
Rational Gaze - 5:06
I believe this band is over looked all the time. I love their style. Always playing in 5/8 measure. They pull it off and kick ass at it.

This song is great. Skull crushing drumming, mind numbing guitars and lyrics to make you think about what you see around you.

Just by the lyrics at the begining you know this song is going to kick your ass all over the place.

"Squint your eyes to see clearly. Blur reality to make
it real."

Not to mention the song is catchy as a bitch.

Then at about 4:04, the song slows down...then starts up again.

Liek...sex.:cool:

EDIT
@Arioch, I agree with you on the 8:40 part, but I think where the song gets orgasmic is when you hit 9:39.
