Best Heavy Metal Songs Since 1990

The Top Ten
1 Enter Sandman - Metallica

How is this so high? The sing is SO repetitive. You listen to it once and then it gets boring. The 6 songs below this are all better.

I had to add this.

Why is it not in here? You people have no taste.

Come on could it really be anything else for number 1

This is the most overrated song ever

2 Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

Nothing like Enter Sandman (btw I like enter sandman to! ).
Fear of the Dark has a riff that doesn't sick as Enter Sandman.
Love Metallica & Iron Maiden!

There's no doubt that "Fear of the Dark" is the best. So it really sucks to see it at this position. Meatlheads VOTE for this song. THIS MUST BE #1! Iron Maiden All The Way... m/ Up the Maidens m/

I don, t like old heavy metal like Metallica, Judas, others... But this song is so strong as old heavy metal one but Enter Sandman is great one too!

How can Metallica be number 1 this song is legendary and completely owns enter sandman UP THE IRONS FROM SCOTLAND

3 Painkiller - Judas Priest

This is an all time classic and it should be on the top 3 cause it is still one of the best songs in all of heavy metal history and I think it deserves #1 position. And if you still have an objection then go and listen to it

Its not about since 1990, it's the all time best heavy metal song...

The drum in the start is awesome, Overall a great song

He! Is! The! Painkiller! THIS! IS! THE! PAINKILLER!
AAHH!

4 Walk - Pantera

WALK! Why is Chop Suey higher? That song is the biggest piece of trash in the last 20 years

Amazing band. I had trouble picking which song of their I liked the best.

I don't get how a song this good is doing third, I mean seriously.

This song should be 1 but enter sandman is a good song

5 Holy Wars...The Punishment Due - Megadeth

1. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - Megadeth (second best metal song ever, only behind "One")
2. Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold (best metal song of 21st century for me)
3. Guerrilla Radio - Rage Against The Machine (I'm not sure if it's a metal enough to count in for this list, but if it is, it's my 3rd)
4. Beast and the Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold (second best from the best metal band of 21st century)
5. Domination - Pantera (my favourite Pantera song, one of the most energetic and heaviest metal song I liked)
6. Sudden Death - Megadeth (that guitarwork...)
7. Haunted - Disturbed (in my opinion second best metal band of 21st century and that is their best song for me)
8. Cemetary Gates - Pantera (one of my favorite metal ballads... really beautiful)
9. Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold (third best from a7x)
10. Enter Sandman - Metallica (the best song on self titled Metallica's record... badass riffs and vocals)

honourable ...more

That intro. That riff. That Spanish acoustic solo. That Mustaine Solo. That Outro.

It is criminal that Enter Sandman is above THE Megadeth song: Holy Wars.

How isn't this number 1?

6 Cowboys from Hell - Pantera

It should be number1

7 Seasons In the Abyss - Slayer
8 Chop Suey - System of a Down

Whoever made this list has good taste.
1. Chop Suey!
2. B. Y. O. B.
3. Toxicity

the most variety you could enjoy out of a single song... AMAZING

9 Wheel of Time - Blind Guardian
10 Oblivion - Mastodon
The Contenders
11 Dante's Inferno - Iced Earth
12 Eeyore - Slipknot

Finally this song gets recognition!

13 God Is Dead? - Black Sabbath
14 Blackwater Park - Opeth
15 Lack of Comprehension - Death
16 Bleed - Meshuggah

This song was sent down to earth by satan after he heard some goat called justin beiber singing... Bebebebe... And he himself drummed!

17 Song of the Damned - Soilwork
18 Would? - Alice In Chains

Laynes voice is amazing and the bassline is one of the best I've heard!

19 Schism - Tool
20 4 Words (To Choke Upon) - Bullet for My Valentine
21 Wherever I May Roam - Metallica
22 Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

It is not possible... It should be at no 2 after enter sandman. Metallica all songs should be in this list and black album is best album its all songs are perfect... Sad but TRUE, the unforgiven and many more...

23 Tornado of Souls - Megadeth

I know this is 1990 but so is painkiller so this should count. just listen to the precison and awesome playing in this song

24 Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth
25 Vicarious - Tool
