It is a common concept that many albums share the title with one of their songs, the title track.
However, there are a few examples of songs that have not been included in the album of the same name but on a different release by the group.

Please feel free to suggest more Metal/Hard Rock examples for these "misplaced title tracks".

1.AC/DC - High Voltage (Australia)

2.AC/DC - If You Want Blood You've Got It

3.Arch Enemy - Black Earth

4.At The Gates - Gardens Of Grief

5.Azaghal - Omega
