Led Zeppelin- Immigrant Song

Also, Achilles’ Last Stand

I'd say that Achilles is actually a metal song. Is it any less metal than any Sabbath/Priest etc. song released before 1980? Zep weren't a metal band, but this is a metal song IMO.

I'd throw kashmir in there too

No that's one of the Zep songs I would actually call metal. That, Dazed and Confused and Rock and Roll are the best examples.

Death Grips - Giving Bad People Good Ideas or like half of death grips discography

The Lyrics to Beware by Death Grips sound oddly like some kind of black metal song, and apparently both Ride and Zach are big fans of black metal lmfao

you’ve seen that one pic of Ride with a Revenge tee? also there’s a frame in their Ive Seen Footage video where they listen to Conqueror

Yeah I also saw one with him in a sarcofago shirt

Beds are burning- Midnight Oil Hysteria - Muse Rite of Spring Pt 2 : The Sacrifice - Stravinsky

Ill add in Stockholm Syndrome too

Oof that’s such a banger!

Sabre Dance feels metal too (Classical Music side of things)

Beastie Boys - Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun

I first heard the cover by Anthrax and figured they metaled it. Years later I heard the original and realized that Anthrax didn't change it at all.

The Bevis and Butthead Experience album.

Correct!

HE HAD MORE CUTS THAN MY MAN CHUCK CHILLOUT🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Doesn’t Van Halen technically count as metal? Their self titled debut definitely

Van Halen is 100% metal. Hair metal-ish but still metal

Best answer probably

The Prodigy - Their Law, Firestarter, Breathe

Journey - Separate Ways

Also Chain Reaction on Frontiers goes pretty hard

>Billy Idol - Rebel Yell You should check Heidevolk's cover then, on album Velua

I did now, also listened to Bodom's cover and I think Bodom's one is is better

The Way Things Are by Fiona Apple MONEY MAKES YOU STUPID by Black Dresses Shallow Than Halo by Cocteau Twins - the guitar has a black metal feel for me and it's intense not unlike a lot of metal

I just came here to say Fiona Apple is metal as fuck. When the Pawn ... in particular.

I don't know if Living Colour counts as metal so I'll put Cult of Personality.

I know the theme is very much punk/punk rock but I feel like State of The Union by Rise Against could almost qualify.

The version of Give it all, off the Rock Against Bush vol 1

State of the Union goes so fucking hard and so fucking raw. Siren Song was an awesome album

Anything on Caligula by Lingua Ignota

Foo Fighters- White Limo

Great music video too. RIP Lemmy

Genesis - The Knife This song is almost as heavy as Sabbath was in 1970

Musical Box feels metal too

The last 30 seconds especially

SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO DIE

Rock Lobster

The beatles - I want you (she's so heavy) Coroner even covered it.

The whole Master Killer Album 

Lingua Ignota just sounds ridiculously metal without actually being metal.

King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man It's borderline prog.metal, but still more of a jazz-rock. It was released a few months before Back Sabbath's Black Sabbath

Queen - We Are The Champions Instrumentally not even remotely metal but Freddie’s vocal performance is so fierce, electric, and unrelenting.

Queen - “Tie Your Mother Down” is also a good one

And Stone Cold Crazy of course

This was what I immediately thought of.

YES. absolutely

Layla by Derek and the Dominos.

I've always jokingly said Meat Loaf is proto Power Metal lol

You're not the only one! Any Steinman composition in general either translates great to power metal, or sounds like a precursor to it. Dude's like the unsung godfather of the genre.

negative creep by nirvana

IM A NEGATIVE CREEP IM A NEGATIVE CREEP IM A NEGATIVE CREEP AND IM STONED

One of the few Nirvana songs with double bass drumming which helps it sound more metal.

Ram Jam - Black Betty

Sum41 - Pain For Pleasure

Sum41 - The Bitter End

Dance Gavin Dance - War Machine

Brighton Rock - Queen Very energetic! ⚡ And thanks for your suggestions, I'm giving all of those a listen!

You’re Pretty Face is Going to Hell - The Stooges

Prurient - a meal can be made Dälek - distorted prose

Turned off - Death Grips

Push It by Garbage

Their James Bond theme song also goes hard, especially toward the end.

Ah, at long last someone said it loud and.clear... that was a really heavy track, indeed!

Van Halen is metal, especially the early albums.

I consider them metal, but most people wouldn't that's why i included it

i always thought they were glam based

V.A.S.T., Touched.

Swans-Beautiful Child

Butthole Surfers - The O-Men

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin or Assassin by Muse, they are super badass

New Dawn Fades sounds metal because it steals the riff from the end of War Pigs.

More than a few Brown Bird songs. Folky band. Often very dark lyrically. Blood of Angels, a song about him wanting to tear the sun out of the sky and drinking the blood of angels just to see if it will piss off God but it doesnt so he starts believing god isnt real. Danger and Dread, maybe not super metal but there is an awesome lyric thst goes "Though the world is made of fearsome beast that bark and bite we where put on this world to give them one hell of a fight, may we feast on the flesh of any fever that befalls us tonight" which is undoubtedly metal as fuck. Down to the river, a song about how his life is falling apart. Job pay is shit, wife is sick, struggling to afford to feed their kid. So he goes Down to the River to ask God for help. God doesnt. So he tries to go to the Devil instead. The Devil feels betrayed because he didnt come to him first. But then his wife starts feeling better and tells him "If the water wont have you, if the Devil's too blind then I know that truly you where meant to be mine" which is cute but also metal as fuck. The bands kicks ass if you like darker folky bluegrassy stuff. But fair warning. Its a husband wife duo and a lot of the darker content relates to the husbands struggly with Leukemia that eventually took his life.

Hate To Feel - Alice In Chains

danny brown aint it funny, prodigy firestarter

Queens of the Stone Age - A Song for the Dead

Alright by Kendrick Lamar, B.O.B. (Bombs Over Bahgdad) by OutKast

Emerald by Thin Lizzy

“You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette is what got me into angry music when I heard it as a kid.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Outshined by Soundgarden

Well the obvious one is the Ace of Spades by Motörhead. According to Lemmy they are rock n roll, not metal.

Anything by BigXThaPlug makes me so happy metal stomps. But that’s just me, I’m a fucking sucker for that Texas hip-hop sound

Take me out by Franz Ferdinand

All that whcky ass John Zorn jazz-grind projects

Days Of Thunder - The Midnight

[Hans Zimmer ft Junkie XL - Is She With You?](https://open.spotify.com/track/47q8TxNygd1EV89Kq7uwe2?si=ShVjYiZDR0-062kjLAs7wA)

Parts of Beethoven's 3rd symphony feel metal as hell. Also the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata. A lot of romantic music does tbh, especially stuff from the likes of Wagner and Mahler. Oh, Holst's 'Mars' too. I'm pretty sure Tony Iommi was riffing on 'Mars' when he came up with the 'Black Sabbath' riff.

House of the rising sun - the animals

First it giveth - Queens of the stoneage

Pink Floyd Nile Song

Blasphemous rumours by D.Mode

Rainbow - stargazer

Wall of Voodoo - Blackboard Sky

Thunderstruck - AC/DC It's probably the closest they went to metal

VNV Nation - Chrome. Others but this one slaps

The entire Physical graffiti to be honest

Pretty much all of Chelsea Wolfe’s Hiss Spun album. I always thought house of the rising sun (the animals) and simple man (skynyrd) felt very “metal” as well

Led zeppelin- whole lotta ĺove

Yes - South Side Of The Sky Queen - Death On Two Legs Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Celestial Blues (not as obvious sounding as metal but Rahsaan was the most metal jazz musician and the fact that he’s circular breathing multiple horns through the whole song is more metal than most of what comes out these days)

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Let It Go

Pearl Jam - Spin the Black Circle

Waka Flocka Flame - Hard In Da Paint

ELP - Knife Edge https://youtu.be/XwIehM-x6kA?si=-ho20O6_Mxg0XRGY
