Top 10 Best Metal Songs of 2015

1. Empire of the Clouds - Iron Maiden

   

   Damn, Dickinson and airships and 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 go by so fast, yet so 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!

   Cirice is a great song, and Ghost are a great band, but this masterpiece should be on top.

2. Cirice - Ghost

   

   My new favourite Ghost song! It was 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 satanic bands like Mayhem, but I love Ghost B.C. This song is amazing.

3. Repentless - Slayer

   

   Fast and heavy, just like the old times.

   This song is so badass and amazing.

   This song is badass!

4. The Vengeful One - Disturbed

   

   I love this song. It is the return of Disturbed for me.

5. Implode - Slayer

   

6. The Red and the Black - Iron Maiden

   

   It's like a much longer version of The Trooper, and it's catchy.

   Best metal song in 2015, hands down. This song is a masterpiece.

7. The Ninth Wave - Blind Guardian

   

   This song is the masterpiece of 2015. It's incredibly epic and powerful. It also has that amazing choir in the beginning!

   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

    Darkest Part - Red

15. From the Pinnacle to the Pit - Ghost

    

16. Fatal Illusion - Megadeth

    

17. 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!

18. No Hope in Sight - Paradise Lost

    

19. The Book of Souls - Iron Maiden

    

    The song is epic and deserves to be in the top ten.
