Most hype intro for a metal song?
- Thread starter MotiD
- Start date
Metal's not my thing, and even less Megadeth. But the second I heard the intro to Train of Consequences, I was hooked.
IDK if this has aged well at all, but I still love it.

Say what you will about Manowar, but their first few albums have crazy energy and memorable riffs.
I love how this song goes from zero to sixty shortly after the 1 min mark.

Similarly, I also used to go to Metal shows at L'amour's in like '99 to when it closed. The shows were so good, people used to even go wild over shit on the PA between sets, it was great.
If Hell Awaits came on...lord.
Pharaoh's Unum/After the Fire is awesome.
Dissident Aggressor by Priest is fucking great. When that Halford scream kicks in, it always grabs my attention.
Running Wild's Riding the Storm is a great build up.
There are so many intros that I love. Metal is so fucking good.

Rainbow - Rising has a killer rough mix available and the intro to Stargazer is even cooler than the official album version. That drum intro though is orgasmic.
Another favorite of mine back in my teenage years:
Patience, patience...and then a hammer in the face.

Hype would imply excitement for what's to come, namely a slow build to something greater. Might choose Hallowed be thy Name for something like that (or even a newer Maiden track like Dance of Death), lots of picks. Or as many posts here have suggested, just straight up metal right away.
I'll throw in this Arsis track for an example of the latter.

If you ever see them live it's made all the better as they have air raid sirens blaring and red warning lights illuminating the stage as they come out for it. Primo Victoria's still the hypest song they do live, but Night Witches has easily the hypest intro.

It's been quite a while since the last post, but this song just came into my head.. not my favorite CoB song but it has a banger intro
I haven't listened to any new Children of Bodom material but they were consistently putting out awesome stuff back when I was really into them. Maybe I should check out their newer stuff

"Du Hast" is up there for me. You get that synth part, the banging drums, and then the heavy riff coming in.
Good pick. There's some insanely good intros on Colors:
Probably my favorite album of all time.
What.........how is this not posted?

We've got a winner!
Mine is a little long to be considered an intro, but the beginning of Sinners Bleed by Entombed is my favorite 90ish seconds of metal anywhere.
*side note* Can anyone tell me why half of the YouTube vids linked here give me errors when I click them?
In Flames have some great ones. The Hive being my fav.

I still maintain that Miyazaki must have a secret love of that video, that thing is almost beat for beat Dark Souls
Great album btw. I think my favourite Samael intro is probably the opening riff of With the Gleam of the Torches:
Or, from the same album, the opening wail to the s/t track:
But Passage has a banging intro too, Rain is such a strong opener, it hooks you immediately:
Man, that band used to be so great.
One of the best. Damn how good City of Evil is. Still blows my mind 15 years after it's release.
They turned into a complete joke by the end, but of the hundreds of bands I've seen, the first few seconds of "43% Burnt" by Dillinger would always elicit a pretty intense/violent reaction.
Not for a song, but I still remember hearing the "Jennifer" intro to Prowler in the Yard for the first time and falling in love (and then PxDx turned into a joke too).
