Punishment of Luxury usually lumped more in with post-punk, but this one song is surprisingly metallic for 1979 punk music imo (especially that thrashy chug under the chorus):

Re: Awesome songs that survived only as live recordings
Whatever Slauter Xstroyes song this is at 8:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHJyd22rJCg Jon was apparently even more unhinged live in those days than on the albums. The main riff is really good too, a bit simple by their standards (it was 1983 apparently) but it's really trudges like I've never he...

Re: Song of the Day (2015)
Ruthless Horde - The Forgotten Dead
I've never heard a song fuse the melancholic/romantic mood of Angel Witch-style trad and aggressive occult speed/thrash like this. The whole demo is amazing.

Would Devil Doll qualify, at least on the first album? Also, I think Arpia fits, at the very least very dark and atmospheric stuff with doom passages. They left metal after the 80's from what I can tell, however. Oh, and Stillborn is definitely goth metal done properly, first album a bit more aggres...

There is a lot of stop-start hard rocking stuff on it (Revolution Calling, title track) but I don't see how songs like Speak, Spreading the Disease, and The Needle Lies are anything but metal. Some of the more melodic songs like Eyes of a Stranger might seem borderline, but to keep fair standards, T...

Violent or scathing lyrics that tell some kind of conflict story on religion or war really work well for me. Hell, Holy Terror, and Sabbat were the masters of this, with lyrics that not only entertain with great imagery, but argue a point that cannot come off as preachy because it's given from an im...

From the major(-ish) bands, it has to be State of Euphoria. I already hate the style they chose on Among the Living, groovy and not especially melodic, without the aggression characteristic of the 90's groove metal bands, and State of Euphoria was basically an uninspired v2 of it. From the less este...

It might just be me, but I can totally here Facelift-era Alice in Chains doing a very respectable job of Slough Feg's Why Not. An anachronism, of course, but every time I hear that descending and distorted verse contrasting skeptical, personal lyrics with bouncy rock-ish riffage underneath, I'm remi...

I could see Anacrusis covering Rites of Spring's Deeper Inside. The happier punk melodies might be a little hard to work with in ways that the relative emptiness of I Love the World did not interfere, but the tempo and emotive aggression are there, and lyrically it could fit on any Anacrusis album. ...

Destruction always seemed much more creative and dedicated to the art of riff-craft than just image and aggression, even in their debut EP days. Songs like Mad Butcher, Devil's Soldiers, and The Ritual have such a twisted and unique style to them, almost like Mercyful Fate circa Melissa. Sodom and K...
