Hello, been a long time since I have been here, so i figuredid make a new thread. I noticed recently how alot of metal songs ahve things about winter and cold in their names, and all usually great songs, HOWEVER im just curious as to see what others may think is the best song about winter and what not.
My favorite from this list would ahev to be Winter Madness by Wintersun, its an awsome song by jsut an amazing band, great riffs, really well put together and the vocals are amazing on it.
thaanks
hope to hear what you guys think

when I think of songs about winter - I think of Immortal's 'At The Heart Of Winter' - so that would be my choice!
of them songs up there, I would pick either Dragonforce, Wintersun or Frosty The Snowman! but I am not a huge huge fan of any of them..

Of the ones on that list, I'd have to go for Wintersun's 'Winter Madness'. I don't know if it's my favourite, there are a crapload of other awesome songs that come to mind too (e.g. Darkthrone - Hans Siste Vinter, Immortal - At the Heart of Winter, Nokturnal Mortum - And Winter Becomes, Sentenced - Awaiting the Winter Frost, and many others), but it's the best on that list.

Nice pool, I'l go for Winter Madnes. Fantastic song.

WoW WoW WoW where are other, but unigeu poll, but other option shood be too

Because there are to many songs about winter, I even dont know all and in wright moment cant think but I had hear almoust I dunno how much songs about winter

But from list Wintry Grey - Arcturus
Dreams of Winterland - Catamenia

also Immortal - 'In my kingdom cold', 'criptall winterstorms'
'At The Heart Of Winter' 'Battles in the North'' ehh all Immortal songs are about winter also a lot of black and doom metal songs are about winter

Without a doubt, Kiuas - Accross the snow, one of my all time favorite Kiuas song! Wintersun's Winter madness is awesome too.. I don't really rate music by the theme of their lyrics but few other winter related songs i really really love that i can remember right now are Elvenking's The Winter Wake, Amorphis' Black Winter Day and Blind Guardian's Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns).

Its about Winter Im gonna listen it now IMO only BG song about winter are 'Beyond the Ice'

I'm jumping on the Immortal bandwagon... "At the Heart of Winter", "Antarctica", et all.

I, too, voted for Frosty the NecroGrimSnowDemon in the poll.

as the song title says, it's winter related as they uses winter as a metaphora. Secondly, as far as I know, Beyond the Ice is instrumental so i don't know how that could be more about winter than a song that has a word winter in it's title.. or maybe you meant 'Under the Ice' from A Night At the Opera, which is, as much, or as little like you'd say about winter as Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns).

If we talk about Metaphora - Iron Maiden - 'Mother Russia' I doubt if all understand all this song and idea of it, but I can imagine those cold winters when was tsar(dunno how spell) and early Russia empire before Lenin and USSR well IM write good songs and poetical lyrics about history, but IMO you guess what I mean by this and winter

About BG well 'Beyond the Ice' are good song and i like it
About Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns) well Miror, Mirror and Time Stand Still.......... those songs are so great that others fall out of album

Once again I don't get your point, Noldor (Dead Winter Reign) lyrics talk about winter, icy cold winter with snow and all, the story of the song just isn't about winter..
"We were lost
On grinding ice
In fear and hunger
Dead winter reigned
In Araman"

And you still didn't explain how an earth you think an instrumental is ONLY BG song about winter, how the hell you even know what the song is about when there isn't lyrics

But IMO instrumental songs can be about winter if title are about wonter and I understand now that song,

But now Im listen My Dying Bride - 'Snow on My Hands' well seems doom bands can make songs about winter more peotical how others, also black and power

It's obviously Frost The Snowman!

My vote goes to Winter Madness, becuase I love Wintersun and the guitars and vocals are really good, not to mention that there are even blast-beats in the song, which makes it all the more better. The sweeping solo is really what does it for me, though.

From that list, definitely Winter Madness by Wintersun. It's just full of energy, great vocals, melodies and drumming. However, generally Immortal have the best songs about winter as already mentioned (At The Heart Of Winter, Antarctica etc). Amorphis' Black Winter Day is also another very good song.

Black Winter Night by DragonForce. I'm alone in that one.

I voted for Wintersun - Winter Madness but if the option was there I also would have chosen Immortals - At the Heart of Winter because that is easily the best song about winter out there. The riffs in the song are so intense.

when I think of songs about winter - I think of Immortal's 'At The Heart Of Winter' - so that would be my choice!

Without doubt!! At the Heart of Winter The most coldest wintery song around.. You just can't not think of winter.. I was surprised that it wasn't on the list.. Clear winner for me. Anyway I voted for Arcturus - Winter Grey more for the sake of it..

It is obvious Immortal should be in this poll.. more winter than them isn't possible.

As far as the songs on that list, obviously Luca Turilli for me. Actually, that song is my favourite song of his solo project, so that makes it definitely a winner for me

My thoughts exactly... "We are at the heart of winter..."

I haven't heard all the songs from the list, I won't vote. But I have two favourite winter songs, not on the list:
1. Satyricon Min hyllest til vinterland
So damn beautiful and emotional. I can really feel the cold from the song and it's a very sad tune too.
2. Celtic Frost Triptych: Winter (Requiem, Chapter Three: Finale)
Very very sad orchestral part of one of the best songs ever made, it's quiet and really has that doomy feeling every winter song must have IMO.

Of course I vote for Wintermadness, good lyric, solo and melody. Really wonder why so there're not many voting,...

@Warman, I haven't had a chance to get that song of Satyricon, I will find it soon, heard it from Dark Medieval Times, a really good rated album.

Whoah, good thinking! That's probably my favourite 'wintery' song, too - such a grim, cold atmosphere.

Of the available options, though, it's a toss-up between 'Wintry Grey' and 'Winter Madness'. The latter isn't especially 'cold', but it's a rad song with an untouchable solo, so it's won my vote.

As some have mentioned, Immortal´s At The Heart of Winter. Just listen to the intro, close your eyes and you will see the winterlandscape in front of you.

Like the others said, At The Heart of Winter is really the best winter song. Quite a few of Immortal's songs are wintery actually. You really are at the heart of a cold heartless winter when you listen to that track though!

Where did you got idea to start topic like this anyway??
Anyway, from the list I would vote for Luca Turilli's The Age of Mystic Ice, really great song, there are many great songs about winter, and luca Turilli owns many of them... Amon Amarth's Arrival Of The Fimbul Winter is also awesome....

My favorites are
Cradle Of Filth - Queen Of Winter - Throned
My Dying Bride - Two Winters Only

i voted for Winter AMdness- -such an awesome song - but also the christaion band Immortal Souls has like every song about winter - check em out

what about Rage of the Winter by Rhapsody? when Luca Turilli mentioned here...

Wintersun: Winter madness. listening to it right now
