Dimmu Borgir-Puritania
It stomps, it crushes, it destroys, it fuses classical music with industrial techno and heavy metal. Emerging from the static it marches straight from hell and starts eating things. It's got every cliche, every stomping military march-beat, a sample of one of Hitlers speeches in the background, the greatest use of sweep-pads ever in music, and it ends with a crackling radio voice saying "Earth successfully erased" in a heavy norwegian accent. Wonderful. Like nuclear war set to music.
Finntroll-Slaget Vid Blodsalv
Death! Evil! Black Metal! Accordions! Finntroll were once described as the soundtrack to a barn-dance in hell. They're that and so much more. This song is so wildly energetic and insanely powerful that it just blows you away. Reeling in like a drunken viking horde and looting everything in site, the song builds up to a peak before blasting off the most insanely spirit-soaring keyboard section ever over a primal war-cry that carries the song back on again to even more dizzying heights. It's a bar brawl of a song, a mad screaming drunken dance tune, filled to the flim with a sense of cheerful malice. This band isn't just going to kill the christian scum, they're going to make a party out of it, and the word 'quaffing' is definitely going to be involved. It's the musical equivalent of the Gremlins. Choosing a single track from this amazing band was very hard indeed, but it's the war cry thingy at 1:20 that really makes this song stand out from the crowd. Other really good finntroll tracks include Trollhammaran, Fiskarens Fiende, Jaktens Tid, Midnattens Widunder, the acoustic Forsvinn Du Som Lyser, Der Hornkronte Konungen and Svartberg.
