songs with breakdowns

[Throwdown12]

name some songs here that have bad *** breakdowns

[Bazarov]

Kreator - World Anarchy
Slayer - Raining Blood

But you'll probably get better responses in the Music Recomendation thread.
EDIT-... I got confused. I thought you were looking for songs that have great breakdowns...

[Britton]

Metallica! The four horsemen

[Schyma]

Britton: Not that you're really that bad of a poster or anything but honestly you'd contribute more to a thread if you'd typed out more than just a half of a sentence. I see you everywhere nowadays and all you have to say is just a sentence maybe 2 in some of them. It just seems as though you don't give your posts that much thought that's all. Just consider making your posts more thought out that's all. Not to offend you or anything I'm just sayin'. :)

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is a "breakdown"? I hear you Metal heads use this phrase all the time and I'm just courius as to what exactly it really is/means.

It is a part in a song that is slower and has alot of palm muted chords or open notes to come to a climax in the song. Along this, there is usually heavy sounding drums with hefty use of double bass as well.

/best description I can give.

I'll try to explain it as best as I can. It's like a stop-go-ish palm-muted heavy riff. That is 4/4 or 2/4 timing. Kind of at a mid temp. Going like Dun-Dun.. JUGA JUGA DUN DUN.. kind of a crap example. At 2 minutes and 11 seconds Slayer's Raining Blood has a good example of a good breakdown.

Iniquity - Inhale the Ghost

Such a good ballsy death breakdown.

Good example. I've always wondered what breakdowns are myself.

[cacophonyz]

You hear it alot in metalcore and hardcore.In Avenged Sevenfold's(you make your own opinion on them, I think they are alright) Unholy Confessions, there's a very good example of a breakdown.Duh-duh.dun-nu-nuh.But yeah World Anarchy has a cool one.

Okay I see what you are saying. I will give my post more thought. I just didn't
feel like there was that much for me to say (in which case maybe I should not have posted). and being as though words are so inprecise* I thought I would shorten it and say exactly what I meant to say...as you can see I'm not very good with words

Sorry

God Forbid - Precious Lie. I love the breakdown in that song so much. It's not really the stereotypical breakdown with 0000 0000 0000 0000 on the bottom E and A strings. I dunno, it's just great.

[deadinholywood]

Parkway Drive- Picture Perfect Pathetic and Gimme AD have crushing breakdowns!

[ozzfest05]

lamb of god- black label

[TheTastyLettuce]

Chimaira actually have some jaw dropping melodic breakdowns

[SubtleDagger]

Best breakdowns I can think of:
Converge - "The Saddest Day"
Deftones - "Be Quiet And Drive"
HORSE The Band - "Cutsman"
The Dillinger Escape Plan - "43% Burnt"
PsyOpus - "Mirrorim"
Glass Casket - "In Between The Sheets"

[StigmaShadow]

Audioslave - Cochise...:wave:

[36Dritzlfists]

There's this new band call August Burns Red who has very good breakdowns. Check out "Your Little Suberbia is now in Ruins" and "Speech Impediment"

[SubtleDagger]

Ugh, August Burns Red. Yuck.

[BassMasterMike88]

Alot of bands like Hatebreed and LOG do breakdowns really really poorly IMO, Slayer and Deftones do a better job.

[bball_1523]

check out Evergrey - 'The Great Deceiver,' and 'End Of Your Days.' Their breakdowns are awesome, especially with the synth and solos added to them.

[TheDMV]

Could not a breakdown also be, in a any genre, a period of extended melodic jamming or soloing?

[naboo]

Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline

Best breakdown ever.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Dead to Fall - Eternal gates of Hell

great breakdown, they are the best at breakdowns IMO, never forced, always brutal, with good variation to them

Some bands abuse breakdowns, example It Dies Today, too many by far

[JimJamBinks]

I hate music with breakdowns. In my opinion, it's kind of the easy way out to adding more to a song. They are really unnecessary.

That's just my opinion! Please don't attack me now!

[Bazarov]

In my opinion Thrash and Death Metal bands have the best breakdowns, while usually many metalcore/hardcore bands have boring generic breakdowns.. though I think there are some good "hardcore style" breakdowns.

Actually Graves of the Fathers by Cryptopsy is such an awesome death style breakdown.

[Freezing Moon]

Death and Thrash breakdowns are the only worthy kind of breakdown. :)

I can't think of any examples right now though.

[soadfreak2121]

question-soad

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Death and Thrash breakdowns are the only worthy kind of breakdown. :)

I can't think of any examples right now though.
Angel of Death? I think that counts :-\

[smart blockhead]

Metallica! The four horsemen
I like the Megadeth version better, it's faster, same song though.

[Bazarov]

Angel of Death? I think that counts :-\
I guess that could be a break down.. but it's not all palm muted and "chugga-chugga" but who cares? it's still an awesome riff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah. I like those thrash-style ones better.

Sodom's Agent Orange is a very good example of an Angel Of Death-style breakdown.

[Jhaatwt]

Oh jeez. Insane double bass breakdown=

Streaks of blood by some swedish band.. most people say it's dying fetus, but I don't think it is.


Anyway. Insane part.

Baphomet. that's who the band is... I'm pretty sure.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Pantera has some great breakdowns

This Love after he yells "No more headtrips!!!!"

[Endless Obsession]

UnderOATH - the best of me
