Top 10 Best Metal Songs of 2019

1. Hexed - Children of Bodom

   

   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?

2. The Raven Child - Avantasia

   

   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.

3. Singularity - Devin Townsend

   

4. Raise Your Banner - Within Temptation

   

   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. And in a way, they're kind of 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.

5. Raven's Flight - Amon Amarth

   

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

   This is a Viking battle anthem if I've ever heard one. Super badass and catchy.

6. Bismarck - Sabaton

   

   This should be higher than anything else on this list. Sabaton is continuing a long tradition of releasing extremely well-put-together songs, as well as catering to fan requests.

7. Solway Firth - Slipknot

   

   This song is seething with intensity and anger! Unsainted and this one are the best songs off their 2019 album, We Are Not Your Kind.

   This album alone is their best album since Iowa. The tracklist and musicianship are insane.

8. Rain of Fury - Rhapsody of Fire

   

9. You'll Never Find Me - Korn

   

10. Pale Blue Dot - Dream Theater

    
The Newcomers
11. ?

    Cathedrals of Mourning - Belzebubs

    
12. ?

    Full Moon Shoals - Soilwork

    
The Contenders

13. Glass Houses - Children of Bodom

    

    My second favourite song from their 2019 album - I love its speed, melody, chorus, everything.

14. 7empest - Tool

    

15. All Out Life - Slipknot

    

16. Fall into the Light - Dream Theater

    

17. Requiem for a Dream - Avantasia

    

18. Book of Shallows - Avantasia

    

19. Cold - Korn

    

20. Dead Promises - Tarja Turunen

    

21. Unsainted - Slipknot

    

    This song is a masterpiece, and it's probably one of the most complete songs by Slipknot. It has both aggressive parts and a great melodic refrain. This one deserves the top five.

    Pretty cool. I'll definitely give the album a listen. I don't know if it's going to be "Iowa levels of heavy" like Corey said, but so far it sounds good.

    That choir in the intro is cool. I think Slipknot just tried something new.

22. Alchemy - Avantasia

    

23. Wrath of the Universe - Arch / Matheos

    

24. Martyrs - Soen

    

25. Between Man and Wolf - Lemuria

    

26. Eden - Battle Beast

    

27. No More Room in Hell - Possessed

    

    Death metal pioneers Possessed have released their first studio album since 1986 (thirty-three years).
