Intense!!!
 

Kill Like A God by The Carrion Creed isn't a particularly good song, but it's v.loud and goes on for 6 minutes. And yes, they use a human drummer!!!:yikes::drummer:

Freedom - Rage Against The Machine

Something that puzzles me is the definition of intense within a song framework. What criteria do we use? Do we ascribe speed with intensity? How distorted the riff is? The extremity of the vocals? The ambience and sense of foreboding of a track? The lyrics? All of the above? None of the above?

Similar questions that would be asked when trying to describe heavy. :D

Exactly Seltzer!

Are you referring to the classical music? Or is there another Carmina Burana?

grazzt

Any of the above haha. Intense is an ambiguous term for sure, especially in music. I guess as long as reference is made to why you think it's intense then all is well because people can see where you are coming from.

Just looking at my 2005 posts...and moving on from them very quickly lol.

Right now for me my intense pick would be Boris by the Melvins. Just indulgent in a varying one riff, 8 minute slog of sheer heavy that I don't think any band could capture with that same kind of intensity. It is quite foreboding, the lyrics are a bit of "woah" and the speed is almost slowed down to barely moving.

Neurosis - The Doorway

they are both pretty intense songs,

but two amazingly intense songs are Limp Bizkit-Break Stuff or RATM-Killing in the name of= so awesome!!! =D

Dog Fashion Disco - The Sacrifice of Miss Rose Covington
