Best Death Metal Intros

The Top Ten
1 And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope - Ne Obliviscaris

This is the sickest metal intro ever.

2 Shadowfear - Vader
3 Weltseele - Obscura

A long and beautiful intro. Hand down.

4 The Pursuit of Vikings - Amon Amarth

That's the intro that made me a death metal fan, so...

5 Towards Dead End - Children of Bodom

This beautiful into's got a short guitar solo in it

6 Evil to Cast Out Evil - Nile

The intro's got an oriental vibe to it, which isn't a surprise - Nile songs are about Egypt.

7 Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse
8 Lack of Comprehension - Death
9 Only Ash Remains - Necrophagist
10 Crystal Mountain - Death
The Contenders
11 Spirit Crusher - Death

Oh how times have changed, I made this list when I knew barley anything about Death Metal LOL

12 Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags - Amon Amarth

That's a very underrated intro and song. The riff is brilliant.

13 Blackwater Park - Opeth
14 Empty Words - Death
15 Everytime I Die - Children of Bodom
16 Scream Bloody Gore - Death
17 I Cum Blood - Cannibal Corpse
18 Kafir! - Nile
19 Pull the Plug - Death
20 Ode to the Sun - Obscura

It's melodic and brutal at the same time - the combination I love the most (when properly done). That gong sound is really brutal - I'm not sure they used an actual gong though, the drummer probably hit the top of his cymbals to produce that sound.
Just play the sample.

21 Voice of the Soul - Death
22 Dead by Dawn - Deicide
23 Immortal Rites - Morbid Angel
24 Heartwork - Carcass
25 Twilight of the Thunder God - Amon Amarth
