Best Metal Songs of 2015

The Top Ten
1 Empire of the Clouds - Iron Maiden

Amazing masterpiece. The fact that Bruce Dickinson wrote the ENTIRE song and that he had THROAT CANCER while recording, not that specifically but that he sang beautifully and still rocked out but had it, was just a stellar achievement. I'm going to say it. This song is better than their 80s stuff. Their 80s stuff were undoubtedly masterpieces, but I like this song more. It's that amazing.

Damn, Dickinson + Airships + Music just couldn't be better. Empire of The Clouds is one of the best songs I've ever listened to in my entire life. It's really unexplainable how 18 minutes can turn so fast yet delightfully. Masterpiece.

I really love this song, from the melody to the lyrics...it tells a sad story in a very beautiful and poetic way, which is hard to do. Great job, Iron Maiden!

2 Cirice - Ghost B.C.

My new favourite Ghost song! Was a love at first listen when I first heard it in June. I could not tear myself away! Love the way the song builds and gets more intense with each chorus. The solo is also one of their best.

I may not be a fan of real santanic bands like mayhem but I love ghost b.c. this song is amazing

3 Repentless - Slayer

Lame and not badass. Trap Queen shpuld replace this. At least Fetty Wap has a sicker beat.

Fast and heavy, just like the old times.

This song is so badass and amazing.

4 The Vengeful One - Disturbed
5 Implode - Slayer

It seems like every time I get into a new metal band they always make a new album. I got into Slipknot around 2014 and they made a new album. I got into Slayer and Ghost in 2015 and they made new albums!

6 The Red and the Black - Iron Maiden

Its like a much more longer version of the trooper and its catchy

7 The Ninth Wave - Blind Guardian

Blind Guardian epicness comes with perfection and stellar musicianship again.

8 Embers - Lamb of God
9 Jekyll and Hyde - Five Finger Death Punch

I guess this song is okay but the lyrics are trash.

10 The Throne - Blind Guardian

The Newcomers

? Blind Leading the Blind - Trivium
? Still Echoes - Lamb of God
The Contenders
11 The Light - Disturbed
12 If Eternity Should Fail - Iron Maiden
13 From the Pinnacle to the Pit - Ghost B.C.
14 Fatal Illusion - Megadeth
15 Cast the First Stone - Slayer

Very blazing song. Tom Araya has serious passion in his voice, and Paul Bostaph's blast beats during the main verses are AWESOME!

16 No Hope In Sight - Paradise Lost
17 The Book of Souls - Iron Maiden
18 The Mephistopheles of Los Angeles - Marilyn Manson

Manson never fails to impress!

Not metal. It's blues rock.
