YESS!!!!
Anyway, hard to rank them, so I'm just gonna list my top ten as of now. No real order, will probably have changed by tomorrow.
Darkness Spawned by The Black Dahlia Murder - Such a fucking good riff in the intro, cool solo, and the best part for me is the chorus, which has this sick as hell vocal/rhythm change thing, amazes me every time. Their best, probably my favorite song ever.
Skewered From Ear To Eye by Cannibal Corpse - A lot of people don't like their new stuff, but I think it's some of the best of their career. Definitely a very strong follow up to 'Kill'. Anyways, the darkness and rhythmic qualities of this song is what really drags me in. Also has a REALLY good riff in the bridge.
Existence Is Punishment by Crowbar - Words can not describe how I felt the first time I heard this song, and the feelings been with me ever since. Probably the only song I can honestly stays in my Top 10 pretty much no matter what.
Babylon's Pride by Decapitation - Just recently got into this band (damn you, Ryland, hooking me on this tech death stuff), solid album, great song, sick intro. Nuff said.
Metal Storm/Face The Slayer by Slayer - Can't go wrong with Slayer, especially when talking about anything of 'Show No Mercy', great album, heavy as hell.
Floods by Pantera - Not a massive Pantera fan, but this song is just so different from anything else they ever did, and in my opinion is miles ahead. Possibly Dimebag's best performance.
State To State by Assuck - Best grindcore band. Period. Need I say more?
Strangulation Mutilation by Jungle Rot - Old school death metal at it's best.
Zero Substance by Magrudergrind - Great band, pretty unknown, definitely recommend them if you like death metal or hardcore, or like me, both.
The Cage by Ringworm - Another great band. When I heard the opening riff, I thought, awww fuck, it's another metalcore band, but they're actually definitely more death/hardcore, though I wouldn't call them deathcore or grind. Really good, check em out.
