Where cool songs get even cooler by going off in different direction: Godflesh: ‘Us & Them’ @ 03:46
Weird, that was the first song I was going to pick. The first few minutes plod along and create a sense of dread but when that riff comes in with the groove underneath it it just buries everything in its path.
2nd half of Just One Fix where the tempo picks up and they start playing the SOUTH OF HEAVEN riff.
6:43 of Hail and Farewell to Britain by ToN to use one example of their masterful ability to create anthemic hooks out of some of their dirges.
Slint: Good Morning, Captain at 6:40. I miss you!
Neurosis: The Tide at 4:55. One of their most crushing moments.
and my favorite Sabbath loud to quiet transition is easily the five minute mark of The Writ where the harpsichords start
If we’re going just musical I’m going to go with “To Live Is To Die” by METALLICA!
That sweet Classical Intro then to the pounding guitars and drums ending in sweet classical outro.
Late,
