Cynick in Riksgränsen was minus 3 like 2 days ago, and mountain areas can come snow. Inside of countries like Arjeplog, Amarnäs can have wet snow. Last week we had 23,today it's 7 and windy.
We had a holiday day on Monday, and I booked today off as well. So nice having an extra long weekend. I wish I didn’t have to work. Maybe I’ll find a sugar daddy.
Sometimes, samples can improve the atmosphere of a song just as much as the instruments (or even more). This is a compilationn of some of my favorite samples in metal. I'm trying to keep it one album per band but exceptions are just fine. Oh yeah, I forgot something: I'm not gonna be too specific about where these samples are. It's way more interesting to discover them on your own!
Recommendations are welcome! Just don't get upset if I don't like them. D:
Please write band AND album.

Agalloch - Faustian Echoes
Alrakis - Alpha Eri
Blacklodge - Solarkult
Abruptum - Potestates Apocalypsis Distant chants, hopeless patriotic songs, scraping iron, the sound of bullets and tanks tearing apart the earth, and the desolate wind that is left after everything is dead.
Agalloch - The Mantle Samples from the classic "The Seventh Seal" and the cult "Fando y Lis". I just love how it turned out to be samples in both swedish and spanish. Made for me!
Brujeria - Raza Odiada Some obligatory non-serious example.The intro is more effective if you are familiar with south american culture and spanish. Tongue in cheek stuff. Don't mess with the satanic narcos!
Dark Lunacy - The Diarist The melancholic russian chants, the sirens, the writing machine, the discourses, the distressing sounds of war and various forms of human suffering certainly give extra power to this concept album about the siege of Leningrad. The children choir at the end is heartbreaking.
11.
Diapsiquir - Virus STN Adding insanity into this satanic trip through shitty streets with the sounds of crying babies, cheerful childhood songs, random vomit here and there.
12.
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone From ridiculous "save your childrens from metal" tv shows to misanthropic comments from a movie(?) which name I can't find.
13.
Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma Displaying the desperation from one of my favorite movies of all time (Scent of a woman).
Funeral Mist - Salvation Creepy barking dogs, choirs, prayers and music from an old film. if you know the name of the movie (ending of the last song btw), please let me know.
16.
Fungoid Stream - Oceanus These guys basically one-up'd Ahab by making a song around a real whale song.
17.
Gnaw Their Tongues - An Epiphanic Vomiting Of Blood No list about samples would be complete without an example of Mories brilliant work. I love the insane (and real) interrogation sample. Terrifying.
18.
Godflesh - Streetcleaner While we are already talking about interrogations. Here's another one brought to you by Henry Lee Lucas!
19.
Igorrr - Moisissure Impossible to choose just one from this artist, but if I must... I think I'll go with the altered version of an old 20's song on "Brutal Swing".
Katatonia - Brave Murder Day I never use samples, but when I do... I choose a great one from Shining!
22.
Life Of Agony - River Runs Red A great concept based only on samples scattered throughout the album. A rather frustrating listening from a dysfunctional home.
23.
Lifelover - Pulver Just like Diapsiquir, we get a handful of low-life sounds together with children songs, girls having sex and one of the most cheerful moments at the end fo the album.
24.
Lurker Of Chalice - Lurker Of Chalice Oh my, this is it... Where to start with this one: Distressing crows, a chilling sample from the Omen, and let's not even start with "This Blood Falls As Mortal, Pt. 3"... Simply overwhelming.
25.
Ministry - Rio Grande Blood The manipulated samples from George W. Bush just crack me up every single time.
26.
Murmuüre - Murmuüre Due to the extremely organic feeling of this album. Catching up specific sounds is a hard task but the constant sound of insects will forever stay with you.
27.
Neurosis - Enemy Of The Sun "Are you lost?" "...Yes" A great way to start the album, discussing the feeling of limitless time in our lifes.
28.
Panopticon - Kentucky A call to arms to better working conditions for the miners. Simple words from simple people. Stay together and you will defeat them all!
29.
Paradise Lost - Draconian Times Do you really know what "sorry" means? Because judging by "Forever Failure", Charles Manson doesn't know what it means.
30.
Peste Noire - L'Ordure A L'Etat Pur A big part of the joy I get from this album is from the (mostly) ridiculous samples. Wolves, crazy chickes, silly sword fights, cheesy loading of guns, and what appears to be a porno(?).
Shining - IV - The Eerie Cold The ending with the American Psycho sample is great and all... But the telling of a life backwards in the title track is simply amazing.
33.
The Amenta - n0n The girl talking in "Skin" sounds as hot as she sounds dirty and disturbing... Maybe there's something wrong with me . D:
34.
Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear Easily in my top 5 of best samples EVER. These guys really knew how to use the samples from "The Masque of the Red Death" in the song "And When He Falleth". Many bands just put the sample on top without thinking too much about it but here you can hear how the music was written around the dialogue, making the message stronger.
Torsofuck - Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy "Raped By Elephants"... Seriously, there's nothing more to say about this album. Hilarious shit (no pun intended).
37.
Type O Negative - World Coming Down Sinus, Liver, and Lung. Those three interludes display three different ways to die due to a certain addiction. Quite a shivering listen.
38.
Woburn House - Message To Ourselves Outside The Dreaming Machine Post metal band from Germany. The album starts with "River" and sets the mood perfectly with a sample from the movie "Waking Life" with a man discussing the dissapointing state of humanity due to our fear and laziness.
I would suggest Bolt Thrower's Mercenary ...Its not full of samples but damn they are used good!
Just listen the start of No Guts No Glory
----
"Cross is only an iron,hope is just an illusion,freedom is nothing but a name..."
"Build your walls of the dead stone...Build your roofs of a dead wood..Build your dreams of a dead thoughts"
This is really the only track on the album that has any samples in it, but I really like the ones in this, whatever they're from
---- I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. “Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go.
I think an exception would be reasonable for Agalloch to include Faustian Echoes. That song would be massively different without the samples. I particularly love the ending.
And the opening to the first song from the debut : "They know who I am ... They got my shield, don't you get it! ... The eyes, I saw his eyes!" Song.
From Between Bronze Walls, yes! Thank you, I always wondered what it was that sample was saying

Strange I didn't think of this. Faustian Echoes is pretty much essential for this list I'd say.

FLA from Millenium album? Oomph or any industrial metal?
Or the infamous:
Quote: The album was out of print for over a decade due to copyright infringement: the seventh track, "Liebeslied", used unauthorized samples from a recording of "O Fortuna", from Carl Orff's 1930s cantata Carmina Burana. The album was recalled approximately three years after being released. Copies today are rare and considered collector's items.
Dude, as I understand what is said in all the samples Diapsiquir used in Virus STN, I'd bump it right to the first place. They're so kvlt we used to randomly use them in everyday life situations. But it's a great list. You get a +1. Do you update it regularly?

Hah, I'd love to understand what the samples and vocalist are saying. Thanks for the thumbs up. As for updates: Now that summer vacations are upon me, I have no excuses for not checking out all the recommendations I got from everybody... xD So yeah. I'll work on it soon...ish. It's definitely not dead though.
As for first places. I don't have any. Alphabetical order to make it easier for me.

Whoooops. Didn't notice that, sorry . Well, let me listen to the craziest track on that album, I'll type and translate the samples for ya.
Awwww that's sweet of you. :3
In huge contrast with what I'm about to read I pressume...
Yep! Horrible. The lyrics themselves deserve to be translated. Just a peak. "Génération Maudite Pénétration Interdite" is a track describing the raping of a child. The one with the crying baby sample. Ahem:
"Allez, laisse-moi te toucher, arrête de bouger ! / Je pourrais être ton père tu sais." = Come on, let me touch you! / I could be your father you know.
"Haha, tu as peur, acide est ma sueur / Ah... si t'avais une soeur..." = Haha, you're scared, acid is my sweat / Ah... if only you had a sister...
Then there's that sample in track 5, "Diapsiquir" at 1'13":
"Si vous ne l'avez pas compris, c'est parce que Dieu ne s'adressait pas à vous. Moi je l'ai vu ! Moi j'y ai accès ! J'ai trouvé la formule! Il m'a guidé, il m'a appelé ! C'est moi, MOI qu'il a choisi !"
It translates into : "If you didn't understand it, it's because God wasn't talking to you. I have seen it! I have access to it! I found the formula! He guided me, he called me! It is me, ME, whom he chose!"
I can't find the source of this sample, but I am almost certain it's a quote from the movie Pi I talked to you about the other night (I think it was you). It's a great movie, which I should watch again, at least to find out if this is where the sample comes from.
Talking about awesome fucked up French BM, Blacklodge used some pretty cool samples in SolarKult too. But I'm sure you're familiar with Blacklodge.
Hahahaha hilarious stuff. Basically what I was expecting to read. Seems like they are the french alternative to Lifelover's lyrics.

I only know them by name and a review from mah man Lucas. I'll remind myself to finally check them out. if I did, it was aeons ago.

Noooo, Lucas doesn't like Blacklodge, don't listen to what he says. He was already in his doom/drone period when he wrote that one. I remember arguing with him about it. It's definitely something you have to listen to if you like Diapsiquir. It's a lot more techo/industrial though. Some say Login:SataN is better than Solarkult, but I disagree.

Hhahaha don't worry. I know when to not listen to my music pals. For example... Joe thinks Diapsiquir is shit. xD

Seriously? He does? I just lost a huge chunk of respect for the bloke, if I had any in the first place. Haha. That's most probably because he doesn't understand the lyrics. Honestly, if I didn't know what was going on in that album, I would like it half as much.
Here's one I know you're gonna like that I just discovered today...
Around 16:13 in this uses the Mystery Man encounter from Lost Highway
---- I am the Magician and the Exorcist. I am the axle of the wheel, and the cube in the circle. “Come unto me” is a foolish word: for it is I that go.
Also, that "you see man as a rather dismal creature..." from Dopethrone is taken from The Dunwich Horror.

That scene immediately captures the attention of people. Love that scene, and movie as well (best Lynch movie along with Mulholland Dr. for me, which is brilliant as well). Btw, funny fact: Fred's (Bill Pullman) house was actually David Lynch's house back then (he designed the house himself as well).

I'd probably go with those two along with Eraserhead, which (along with his early animated works) is a total surrealist masterpiece. You don't like it?
*Also cool note: part of what makes that scene so monumental and attention-grabbing is how Lynch silences the background music as soon as the Mystery Man appears. Very clever directing.

Yeah, Eraserhead is brilliant, but I would say it's just not as good as Lost Highway and Mulholland Dr.. Not sure if you were implying I don't like Eraserhead, but if you were, I wonder why you would think so. I like/love everything by Lynch except for Dune which was pretty damn bad.
About the music being silenced: I immediately noticed that. And time after time again I think "damn, this works so well", so yeah I definitely agree with you. Another funny fact is that Robert Blake (Mystery Man) was actually convincted for the murder of his wife a few years after Lost Highway. Can't remember the year though and whether he was found guilty or not (too lazy to look it up ).

If you've been convicted it means you've been found guilty
