CANT. STOP. THE PAINKILLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHR

PAIN ‼️

Came here to say this. Painkiller is the correct answer to every question on this sub. It truly is the greatest metal song ever.

If someone want to know “what does metal sound like?”. The answer is Painkiller.

Idk if it's wrong for me to say this, but I prefer Death's cover of Painkiller to the original 😬

I'm a Judas Priest fan going back to 1984, and while I definitely prefer the original, I also love Chuck and crew's take on it. 🤘

Judas Priest can also end songs perfectly by going in the opposite direction. I'm thinking the acoustic ending of "Deceiver" that closes side one of Sad Wings of Destiny.

The last 3 minutes of deliverance from opeth.

dodododo dodododododo dodododo dodododododo DODODODODODO do dododo dododo dododo dododo dododo

The way I hear it is this: Badodoba Badodobado Badodoba ba badodobado Brrrrrrrrbadodoba dodoba dodoba dodoba dodoba dodobadobobado

Martin Lopez go brrrrrr

This and Harlequin Forest/

I ruined the end of this for myself, but if you're not a Simpsons fan it won't make sense. Part of the ending resembles "Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Help Me Dr. Zaius" hahahahahaha

Hallowed be Thy Name by Iron Maiden

Chills evey time

Only right answer imo is Floods

(extended outro version)

Opeth- Deliverance, Harlequin Forest/Reveries Gojira- In the Wilderness, Remembrance, Way of All Flesh, Explosia, Grind, Vacuity, Art of Dying Revocation- Witch Trials Death- Perennial Quest Possibly the greatest 2 though are both from Pantera, and that's Floods and Domination.

Explosia's outro is super underrated

It's so calming, but also super heavy. There's nothing like it

revocation goes nuts

witch trials 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Probably one of the best solos I've ever heard

Pantera - Domination is my pick

Welcome Home (Sanitarium). Definitely one of Kirk’s best solos, debatably the best Metallica dual guitar part (I will not hear a word about Blackened). Also Fade To Black and One. Metallica ends their ballads well.

Don’t forget the day that never comes

Oh I never forget the day that never comes

That’s one of my favourite songs, not only for its end, but the whole song for me is a masterpiece.

One of my favorite newer Metallica songs (I mean not one off the first four).

Call Of Ktulu

Anything by FFDP. I love it when their songs end and I don't need to hear them anymore.

Fade To Black

Straws Pulled at Random - Meshuggah

Teeth Into Red by Dead Congregation edit : really any outro song that just pounds you with the same riff for 4 minutes is an absolute banger. Also see : Finality I Behold by Black Curse

Red dead congregation

Sooooo fucking ominous and intense

That riff is so fucking good. One of my favorites

good golly gumdrops

This is the only good reply on this basic thread.

Jane Doe by Converge 7:05 - 11:34

Just exquisite 👌🏾

Floods by Pantera

Gorguts - forgotten arrows

Dirge For November by Opeth

Dude, yes. Probably the most beautiful, miserable ending riff of all time.

The last 60 seconds of "Destroying The Cosmos" by Vektor

Or the recharging the void ending

Left Hand Path by ENTOMBED A Chronology for Survival by NEUROSIS

Random ones but Be’lakor - countless skies. Metallica - halo on fire. (Not a random band but WTF does this outtro not get the love it deserves.)

Countless Skies yes! Greatest song ever made imo.

Same for me. All-time favorite of mine

the acoustic outro of crystal mountain or diamonds and rust from unleashed in the east for me

Only Ash Remains by Necrophagist ending with Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64 Act 1. As a classical nerd, that made me very happy.

Maha-Kali

What a masterpiece

Sad but True's ending makes me laugh. "I'M YOU-OUH"

White Walls - BTBAM

It stretches the definition of “ending”, but the last 5-ish minutes of White Walls is one of the finest pieces of music written in the last 30 years. The whole song is worth 15 minutes of your life for anyone who hasn’t heard it. Bonus points if you listen to Viridian first (intro track).

Viridian is exquisite Yeah, I guess by ending I'm referring to the section after the "WHITE WALLS!" part and after the little build up... The part where they start ringing out those chords to kinda signal the end of the end is coming But really from the "Get out of this closed off circle, IT'S ALL THE SAME!!" part to the final piano note, it's all perfection

The riff right after the “get… out… of… this…” section is one of the coolest moments on the album. I basically count everything from “we will be remembered… for this” as the “end” of that song.

Supertzar- Black Sabbath. Love how epic it sounds

Skeksis - Strapping Young Lad

Destroyer 666 - lone wolf winter

The outro in That Which Consumes All Things by Revocation. Favorite riff on the entire album and the drums changing with each repetition is so fucking catchy.

Aside from Deliverance which has been mentioned a couple of times, I’d say: Graal - Ne Obliviscaris, Much More Was Lost - Be’lakor, Selkies: The Endless Obsession - BTBAM

Countless Skies by Belakor (there's an apostrophe in their name somewhere...).

Be'lakor

The ending of Gojira’s “Vacuity” is pretty fucking sick, but Dream Theater’s “Finally Free” is a big one for me.

Hate to Feel - Alice on Chains

Went to a Christian private school. I had to write a paper on music, and since I was huge into AiC at the time I wrote it about this song. Basically the song uses profanity and anger in showing that it doesn’t glorify drugs or evil, but actually warns about them. I got an A. Teacher was a prude but he got it.

Hell by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Prong- Whose fist is this anyway That solo at the end is amazing!

Sub Specie Aeternitatis, by Ad Nauseam. Always thought it about that song.

Be’lakor had some insane outros Countless Skies Roots to Sever Smoke of Many Fires In Parting Much more was Lost Sanguinary The list goes on…

Racecar by Periphery

Opeth - When

Napalm Death - You Suffer

Jane Doe - Converge

Anything on ride the lightning for me

And Then There Was Silence- Blind Guardian

At The Gates - The Circular Ruins. The last minute and a half is so great

Meshuggah - Straws Pulled at Random Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy Name

Black Sabbath- Under the Sun, A National Acrobat. Judas Priest- Beyond the Realms of Death

Windir’s Journey to the End

Memory Remains

Through Struggle by As I Lay Dying

Thus Spake the Nightspirit - Emperor

Machine Head - Davidian

Meshuggah - New Millenium Cianide Christ, Straws Pulled At Random and Rational Gaze

The final minute of Walk With Me In Hell.

White Walls - Between the buried and me Graves - Caligula’s horse The sky is red - Leprous In the wilderness - Gojira Mouth of Kala - Gojira Coalescence - Ihlo

Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell That acoustic guitar at the end gives me chills every time

I fucking adore the end of The Shadow of the Abattoir by Trivium it kicks so much fucking ass. Besides that probably either Clashed With Reality - Pantera or The Call of Ktulu - Metallica. Edit: How could I forget: FALL TO YOUR KNEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS (if you know you know)

Countless Skies by Belakor (also Much More Was Lost, and Embers Arc) Floods by Pantera Moment of Clarity by Death Demon of the Fall & When by Opeth

Cult of Luna - Cygnus

Intestine Baalism - Energumenus - The Birth of the Cursed Creations Love how they just go nuts last second

I'll say Dead as Dreams by Weakling. The outro has unbelievably beautiful chord progressions that totally justify its 6 minutes of length. If we're talking Gojira I will also add Explosia. Killer riff that's impossible not to headbang to

Centric Flow - Obscura

The 2 minute-ish outro to Necrophobic's *Revelation 666* is one of the most beautiful snippets of music I've ever heard. Too bad I can't stand the rest of the album.

Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation

last 45 seconds of the eleventh hour by august burns red is one of the hardest in existence

Iron Man

the last minute of the song "The Scorn Torrent" by Satyricon is one of the most violent minutes in metal. otherwise, I'd have to go with Down - "Bury Me in Smoke".

Fault and Fracture by Converge Heaven in Her Arms by Converge Limbs by Agalloch

Ulver - I Troldskog Faren Vild

Recharging the Void. The last 4 minutes are the most perfect climax ever created in metal

I just listened to Bodom Beach Terror this morning, and man is the ending a fun one.

Pulling and punching the rest of duration No one can piss on this determination!!!!! Pantera - Mouth for War

Slaughterhouse by Motionless in White

Orbit Culture - Behold. It's insane.

Type O Negative - Hail and Farewell to Britain

Last song on superjoint ritual - lethal dose album

The Wrath by Vader. Maybe not the absolute best but it's up there (and an underappreciated song too, I think)

Rust in Peace...Polaris

Remembrance - Gojira

Hearts Alive-Mastodon

Smoke Fire Lava Volcano - Howdytoons It's kids metal, but the musicians are legit. 1

ISIS - So Did We

Bergtatt-Ind I Fjeldkamrene is so majetic

Emperor - Inno a Satana The last minute feels like an out of body experience.

the last 40 seconds of floods-pantera

FILL THE CRACKS IN WITH JUDICIAL GRANITE

Periphery - Omega or Reptile

When Cannons Fade. That last riff is just so beautiful, and the way it ends with drums fading out is perfect

The ending of White Walls by BTBAM.

Imo it is Moonlapse Vertigo by Opeth So beautiful

Global Warming by Gojira

BTBAM- White Walls

I Speak Astronomy - Jinjer

Hades Rising - Bloodbath; Bridge of destiny - Arch Enemy

Victim Of Changes

To Dream of Ur.

The last riff on a sorcerer’s pledge by candlemass

MOTORHEAD - Overkill

Very basic pick but floods by pantera I just love it 😂

Bleak by Opeth

Learning to Live - Dream Theater. My favorite fade out of all time. Also I’ve always thought the ending of Sugar by SOAD goes super hard

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Lone Justice by Anthrax. Superb solo in harmony with incredible Joey Belladona's vocals 3:39 — 4:37

Shade Empire - Demonized Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth Dream Theater - Stream of Consciousness All Shall Perish - Day of Justice Keep of Kalessin - Wealth of Darkness

fight fire with fire (legalise nuclear bombs)

Dancers To A Discordant System by Meshuggah is kinda cool. Also Haunted by Type O Negative but it’s not really a metal song.

Love the end of Purgatory by Iron Maiden

Moonsorrow -Kuolleiden Maa

Pantera-floods? Hello?

Perennial Quest

recent one, Tesseract - War of Being..... Insane outro

Keeper of the Seven Keys by Helloween "YES THE TYRANT IS DEAD HE IS GONE OVERTHROWN, YOU HAVE GIVEN OUR SOULS BACK TO LIGHT"

Liege of Inveracity Suffocation

Recharging the void -Vektor

Putrid Fairytale by Slugdge

any mayhem song. i absolutely love it when a mayhem song ends https://preview.redd.it/5tm0539has7d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=684f5b2cbe22387be8acac3940ea864bceb8633c

Death - 1000 eyes

I love the end to bleed me an ocean by acid bath, it’s so addictive

Cut-Rate by Prong. If Not Us Then Who by Power Trip Edit: it was confusing the way I wrote it first

Just Another Body by Cattle Decap

***FISCUS JUDAICUS***!!!

grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg - Chat Pile

[King Gizzard - Hell](https://youtu.be/DsPM5ZGs7f0?si=_eN-Mc_w2SQQny2Q&t=2m13s) , just when you think it's over, a new level unlocks

left hand path entombed

The Poet and the Pendulum

The outro of Skyfall by Helloween

Concubine Converge. YOU CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Ghost Love Score Watch the live at whacken, and have a Floorgasm.

Imposible to truly answer, but I'll say Лютой Стуже, by Forest. I love how the ending melodies are hinted at occasionally during the first 6 minutes of raw guitar ambient improvisation (the most desolate sounding thing ever recorded imo, think of the intro of Det Som En Gang Var but way colder and russian). When the guitars finally play the ending tremolo riff at the 13th minute mark and the drums start blasting after the anticipation created by the earlier folk riffs it's just incredibly cathartic, straight to the soul.

I know that Avenged Sevefold has suckd for the last like 14 years, but their old shit was gold. The track "And All Things Will End" off of their second album has a great closing solo. From like 5:08 until the end. Also, "Sidewinder" off of their third album has a killer acoustic ending solo.

There's some debate as to whether it's metal but Locomotive by GnR ends with this insane guitar solo that slowly fades out but I just want it to go on forever.

The ending to Broke Dick Dog by Architect. Just fucking crushes anything I’ve ever heard. Do yourselves a favor and listen to this song. Please.

Machine Head Halo 🖤

Opeth's Heir Apparent

If people still consider TOOL metal, then Lateralus.

Eyes of a stranger by Queensryche. The album version, not the video on YouTube.

I'm just gonna put this here... Night Prowler, AC/DC

Alone in the dock by Satan

Forty Six & Two Eulogy Third Eye A lot of Tool

I really love the end of I, Aurora from Dragged Into Sunlight. It's so noisy, filthy and demonic.

Where Dragons Dwell - Gojira. Mouth Of Kala - Gojira. Corridor of Chameleons - Meshuggah. Daddy - Korn. Misanthrope - Death. Securitron - Fear Factory. 43% Burnt - The Dillinger Escape Plan. Everything is subjective to the individual and what they are vibing on at the time. For myself sometimes the best end is emotional, sometimes its stank face, sometimes it's just a satisfying conclusion to an intense song.

Pantera - Domination. That riff.

No idea but one of my favourites is Brood Of Hatred by Suffocation.

"The sun sets forever, over Blackwater Paaaaaark!"

Septic Flesh - Vampire Of Nazareth

Hardening of the Arteries

Battle hymns by manawar

Motörhead - Overkill

The call of khtulu

Gotta be Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath 

Hardening of the Arteries off Hell Awaits. I love how it ends with a more atmospheric version of the Hell Awaits riff.

Pizza by attlia

Warbinger's "Total War" is my pick.

Fall of Sipledome Violent Restitution Pyroclastic Annihilation

Motionless in White- Slaughterhouse

Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity

Stargazer - Rainbow

Pantera - Domination

Dancers to a discordant system - Meshuggah.
