Top 10 Metal Songs of 2019

Resist is definitely a huge departure from what those who are fans of Within Temptation are used to. In fact, I'm fairly certain that most metal fans don't consider it a metal album (as if I didn't already know that). And in a way, they're kinda right. But if there's any song on the album that encapsulates Within Temptation as a symphonic metal band, it's "Raise Your Banner". It's the song on the album that feels the most like Within Temptation when compared to their older material, especially with those amazing vocals near the end. - tonyb500

@PhoenixAura81 - yes, Hansi voice sounds exactly like Arjen Lucassen once described Hansi voice: he's like "this giant standing on top of the mountain, filling the whole valley with his singing." - Metal_Treasure

Epic masterpiece. I love Hansi’s vocals in this song. In terms of this year, this song is only second to the masterpiece known as Ira Dei. - PhoenixAura81

It's one of their best albums for sure. Some believe it's their best album since 2003's Hate Crew Deathroll or since 2005’s Are You Dead Yet. - Metal_Treasure

My 2nd favorite song from their 2019 album - I love its speed, melody, chorus, everything. - Metal_Treasure

How is this metal? - Metal_Treasure

good

Love the song and can't stop listening to it. Can't wait for the album to come out! - RogerMcBaloney

Death metal pioneers Possessed have released their first studio album since 1986 (33 years) - Metal_Treasure

This song is alt rock and not metal - Metal_Treasure

Swallow the Sun's new record probably gonna end up as my favourite of the year. Quite a shame that the band doesn't get any attention at all, as 90% of the metalheads tend to be a huge sucker for mainstream albums. This style of music is a quite a departure from the stuffs they've done so far - very original and soulful album.

I though this was 2018? - danimey

Officially it's 2019 because the album is of 2019. Also, it was on youtube in Dec 2018 and because metal songs don't get radio airplay, it doesn't matter much. - Metal_Treasure

I only wish it had a different intro! The intro is boring and mediocre, doesn't fit and doesn't give a good start. But it's a small price to pay because the rest of the song is FIRE! The intro is about 40 seconds long (you can always skip it) but after it you have 5 great minutes. - Metal_Treasure

Alt rock and not metal - Metal_Treasure

Alt rock and not metal - Metal_Treasure

The music video though. - Userguy44

This song is definitely not metal.Though I still like it. - HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345

Umm...the riff at 1:55-2:45 (almost 1 minute) sounds exactly like the intro to Funeral Hymn by Exodus (2007). I liked the song but the rip off is too long and too obvious to be easy forgiven. - Metal_Treasure
