Whats the one metal song that pretty much just sums up the genre and how you feel about it for you? The song that speaks to you most about what this genre is all about. Basically like your metal theme song. A song that is like your metal soundtrack. I know for me it is definitely Brothers of Metal by Manowar. I don't think any other song could do a better job of explaining how I feel about metal. Cheesy? Maybe a little but I bet a lot of you have one! So go ahead and list it; Id love to know
1. Slayer-Raining Blood,
2. Manowar- Warriors of the World
3. Metallica-Master of Puppets/ Creeping Death
4. Exodus-Bonded By Blood
5. Overkill-Wrecking Crew
The speed metal song for me, this one sums the whole genre perfectly: it's very catchy, short and intense, no fancy production values or posers, there's no filler and the goddamn Sheepdog MacLaren makes his vocal chords scream like his life depended on it. It's epic.

You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!
I don't have some impressive words to describe why it is so; the music and lyrics speak for themselves. Running Wild of course has some other great tunes, from all of which I find this one suits best for this topic.
The wind of freedom blows away the binding chain
Independent minds are sowing their grain
Boundless power will tear the wall apart
So don't give in be a rebel at heart
