Thor
08.22.10 | Honorable mentions include Amon Amarth's "Death In Fire", Bloodbath's "Blasting the Virginborn", and Wintersun's "Beyond the Dark Sun". |
BradMan
08.22.10 | I thought Sculpting the Throne ov Seth and Follow the Reaper were good opening tracks... |
TBliss
08.22.10 | hell yes 'Curse You All Men!' |
eternium
08.22.10 | Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Seriously, how the FUCK is that not on here? |
Thor
08.22.10 | It is, dummy. |
Nagrarok
08.22.10 | WHAT IS THIS
THAT STANDS BEFORE ME? |
Yeahtoast
08.22.10 | Awesome list. Digging 20, 25 and 27 a lottt. |
ButcheredChildren
08.22.10 | some of these are great openers but not the majority of them... |
Terrifyer
08.22.10 | nah to most |
Dryden
08.22.10 | some alright
alot of poo tho |
eternium
08.22.10 | LOL I'm dumb. How did I not see that? |
AliW1993
08.22.10 | Good list
Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Deftones - Feiticeira
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under
|
Thor
08.22.10 | Holy shit, how did I forget Holy Wars? Gonna swap in that and take out Necrophagist. |
Crysis
08.22.10 | what dryden said |
ButcheredChildren
08.22.10 | even with Megadeth this is still a crumby list |
AngelofDeath
08.22.10 | You forgot the best one: Oden's Ride Over Nordland from Bathory's Blood Fire Death. |
renegadestrings
08.22.10 | sugar coated sour has nothing on panasonic youth |
geng
08.22.10 | Needs Battery from Master of Puppets. Scent Of The Obscene by SikTh and So Did We by Isis wouldn't go amiss either. And if we're considering Dillinger and Converge as metal, needs panasonic youth, farewell mona lisa (DEP are good at openers, aren't they) and Dark Horse. Some good stuff though. |
Thor
08.22.10 | Yeah those are all awesome openers but I just kept it to one per band. Plus, Sugar Coated Sour is probably my favorite Dillinger song ever. |
ShinXetsu
08.22.10 | No Twilight of the Thunder God from Amon Amarth? Aw. Imperium from Machine Head's "Through the Ashes of Empires" deserves a special mention at least, even if the rest of the album is only sub-par. |
Insurrection
08.22.10 | "sugar coated sour has nothing on panasonic youth"
Sure it does. Sugar Coated Sour is better. |
zarquan99
08.22.10 | wow. amazing list. props for 4, 8, 23 and 25. but most of all Rays on Pinion, no one gives that album enough recognition. Especially that track. |
Trundle
08.22.10 | Future Breed Machine
that is all |
bloc
08.22.10 | 30 is awful, the opener on Define absolutely destroys it. |
pizzamachine
08.22.10 | Stinkfist! |
8bit
08.22.10 | Needs ISIS - Oceanic |
Insurrection
08.23.10 | And Cult of Luna - Echoes |
Hyperion1001
08.23.10 | Limbs on Ashes Against the Grain is a pretty fucking amazing opener.
Death - Scavenger of Human Sorrow
GZA - Liquid Swords
Krallice - Dimensional Bleedthrough
Moonsorrow - Tyven + Sankarihauta

Floyd, Zepp, E B &Rakim are soooooooo metal. |
Synesthete
08.23.10 | totally agree with 10 |
ShoeSoup
08.23.10 | much more metal than Jizz Crumpet, the band you named yourself after
|
climactic
08.23.10 | The fact that Battery isn't on here ruins this list. :| |
climactic
08.23.10 | But yeah, agree with 2,4,5,6,7,8,11,17,18,19,21,23,26 |
Counterfeit
08.23.10 | lol jizz crumpet. not gonna lie, awesome name |
ShoeSoup
08.23.10 | Fight Fire With Fire, Battery, and Blackened should be 1,2,3 on this list. the fact that they arent, combined with SOtS' presence on the list and all the metalcore = OP is a novice |
climactic
08.23.10 | Eh there's barely any metalcore and what there is is pretty good. But yeah Metallica = best openers evar |
TheSpirit
08.23.10 | You could go on for days about other great openers, but I definitely agree with the ones I've heard on this |
ShoeSoup
08.23.10 | ya but there is SOtS though. anyone who likes that album more than early ATG is worse than a metalcore fan or even an emo (not that there's a difference) in terms of patheticdom |
bloc
08.23.10 | For some reason the main beast opener that sticks in my head is Early Grave off of Hollow Crown from Architects. Hell, that song is the best on the album too. |
Emim
08.23.10 | Pretty great list, needs more Nothing Remains - Chimaira though |
bloc
08.23.10 | Oh shit yes. Although the closing track is a baws too. |

renegadestrings
08.24.10 | oh yeah... i forgot Chimaira. Nothing Remains is absolutely epic |
krig9412
12.25.10 | I would have put "Future Breed Machine" for Meshuggah. That breakdown in the beginning is so fucking INTENSE |
McCopper
12.25.10 | 14 is so true.
It's like "HELLO, FUCK YOU". |
Manland
12.26.10 | I don't mean to be a hating, pretentious, run of the mill sputnik user here man, but really.. Future Breed Machine slays for dayz. |
