The ones you think capture that sense of desperately craving to butcher people who have severely wronged you in the past. i'm not a vengeful person but i do find some of these highly rousing and intense.. a few of my favorites:
-3 inches of blood - destroy the orcs (totally over the top and almost laughably cheesy but it captures the intensity pretty well)
-sentenced - vengeance is mine (the lyrical content is pretty much spot-on, "i have dreams of hammering your skulls, fantasies of bashing in your brains, obsessively, i am watching, i am stalking"
-judas priest - screaming for vengeance (again, pretty over the top but it's all about the intensity, the SCREEAAAM)

"Crushing The Despised" and "They Deserve To Die" by Cannibal Corpse. I am not a vengeful person at all, but these songs are savage, and brutal revenge anthems!

There definitelly has to be "Nightfall" by Blind Guardian...only a few have felt such an anger and were calling for revenge so strong as Fëanor and his Noldor elves in the times after Morgoth stole Silmarils and killed Finwë

Bitter Sweet Revenge has some good lines too

"Anger is coming like a lust now
Eating slowly through your mind"

Payback from Slayer

You need to take a closer look at me
Cause I was born to be the thorn in your side
No matter what you think you're gonna see
You never wanted this barrage of fucking pride
You don't want none of me

You've got a fucking catheter in your brain
Pissing your common sense away
When you draw first blood you can't stop this fight
For my own piece of mind - I'm going to
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were meant to take the fall - now you're nothing
Payback's a bitch motherfucker

You only live to be a parasite
Your life must suck when nothing's going your way
Everything melts away before your eyes
You're just a punk that doesn't have the sense to get away
Get the fuck away

You've got a fucking catheter in your brain
Pissing your common sense away
When you draw first blood you can't stop this fight
For my own piece of mind - I'm going to
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were meant to take the fall - now you're nothing
Payback's a bitch motherfucker

I will never become your fucking scapegoat
I don't know how it feels to come up short
I only want vengeance
To come shining down on me
I don't want you to die
Before I get the chance to kill you myself

You've got a fucking catheter in your brain
Pissing your common sense away
This is for the mindfuck
This is for the hell of it
This is for me- I'm going to
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were meant to take the fall - now you're nothing
Tear your fucking eyes out
Rip your fucking flesh off
Beat you till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass
Fuck you and your progress
Watch me fucking regress
You were meant to take the fall - now you're nothing
Now you're nothing
You're not fucking shit.

LOL you're talking as if that was a real event and you were there

Well, I think the best revenge themed song isn't actually a metal song, but rather "Turkish Song Of The Damned" by The Pogues.

Lyrics

They are pretty cryptic, but it sounds like a revenge song to me.

End Of This Chapter by Sonata Arctica, it has the best verse ever.

While you are sleeping, I steal your ear ring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle

They said I won't find you, but now I'm beside you
I'm not all that stable
You should know by know that you are mine...

Is that the song that starts with the phone call with the distressed woman?

If so, the bass player from Korpiklaani told me that they actually go into some trouble with that song, because it was so disturbing... hahahaha.

Written by Irritable Ted on 21.12.2009 at 13:18

Yes, thats the one, that phonecall at the start is brilliant. The song is part of a series that follows through other albums, I think the others are Don't Say A Word and Juliet, but I might be wrong.

Damn, I should have known about this before I interviewed him, I'd have asked about all this.

Yes, that's the bit they got into trouble for.

Best revenge-themed song? Really hard question... I guess an obvious answer would be "Revenge" by War.

Damn you, you stole my post! That was the first song that came to my mind, and for this it's just perfect. Great great song!

i am Ellrohir, the Heaven Knight...i should have been to various places, what do you know?

Oh yeah i forgot to add Judas Priest - Burn In Hell... cheesy as fuck but very entertaining and brutal, like the rest of the Jugulator album.

I dedicate that song to the sociopath I'm going to court against tomorrow!

Nothing more proper, then. For your own piece of mind you should tear his fucking eyes out, rip his fucking flesh off, and beat him till he's just a fucking lifeless carcass Why'd he sent you to court in the first place, anyway?

Long story... my ex wifes first ex is a sociopath/pedophile/asshole that keeps taking her to court just to make her suffer, I am speaking on her behalf.
I have no faith left in our legal system...

"What do ya mean I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to!"

"Ride for Vengance" by Amon Amarth is pretty bad ass. One of their best songs IMO.

Easily Payback by slayer; PAYBACK'S A BITCH MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!

"Payback" is an awful song. I don't know why many like it, it's cheesy and really distorted.

Blacklist by Exodus? Because it's the only one I can think of right now. And because it's a bit awesome.

That is a great one! The lyrics are cheesy as all hell, but it is a badass song.

I thought you hated thrash.
But yeah, good song.

Tempo of the Damned is a bit of an anomaly really. Probably because I worked hard at liking it many years ago.

...Payback by Slayer? I don't know. That's the only song that comes to mind.

I Spit On Your Grave by Sinergy

Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!

I'm sick...tired of this abuse
I've played the fool for many years
Escape...shelter me from harm

Your lies...pushed me to the edge
I've finally reached my breaking point
Come here...meet your nemisis

Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!

Taste this...swift thrust of my blade
It's laced with poison from my veins
Lay there...helpless and afraid

You bleed...I gaze with a grin
A taste of your own medicine
Your tears...please the beast within

Vengeance piercing through my heart
As I watch you kiss the dirt
And make you swallow your betrayal and sin
Though for now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!

Yes, right now I say farewell
But one day I will return with a smile
As I spit on your grave!

Many songs on my playlist could be perceived this way, but only a few are explicit about it.

Korn - Let's Do This Now and Disturbed - The Game cross my mind.

Also perhaps Trivium - A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation

What genre the band is ?

This is my favorite theme in metal. Dont quite remember but I 've been through a lot of lyrics mentioning of REVENGE, keep on the recommendation
