Simple as that. Tell me which songs you listen to that you think have the greatest chorus you've ever listened to. Mine would be Slayer's Seasons In The Abyss, because it sounds and feels hypnotizing/addictive (IMO). That, and Nothing Left by Annihilator because I can feel a slight bit of panic as well as speed from the vocalist.

Def agree with Seasons In The Abyss.
Some of my favourites are:
- Dechristianize by Vital Remains (HE RAPEEEEEEEEEED...)
- Tormentor by Slayer
- Wasted Years by Iron Maiden
- Caught In A Mosh by Anthrax
- Nightcrawler by Judas Priest
- Wooden Pints by Korpiklaani


But my favourite metal chorus of all time has to be BONDED BY BLOOD by Exodus

MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW
CROWD BEGINS TO BANG
AND THERE'S BLOOD UPON THE STAGE
BANG YOUR HEAD AGAIN THE STAGE!!!
AS METAL TAKES ITS PRICE...
BONDED BY BLOOD!!!!!!


unbeatable

Amon Amarth - Guardians Of Asgaard
The strongest chorus of all time.
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
Very emotional chorus.

Deicide - Fuck Your God.
The song is pretty average, but it's impossible (for me) not to shout along.

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Kamelot - The Haunting
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
and more ..

I personally love the chorus to Deadhouse by Katatonia a lot, just to choose one. It's very melancholic and haunting, one of my favorite songs ever written really.

"Somehow I never leave
This deadhouse
Somehow I don't mind being gone
And if you really think you've seen me
I have to prove you
That you're wrong"

Good choice. That album in general has really good choruses.

Can't say I have a personal favorite, though. Plenty of good candidates. I'm not generally a chorus man myself, I tend to prefer secondary parts of a song (the "C" parts outside the verse-chorus-verse structure, but not solos). Depends on the band, of course.

I also love the verses to that song as well.

I just wanted to create a similar thread, but I'll go ahead and dig this one up. There aren't a lot of answers posted yet anyway, so there's still plenty of use for this topic. Here are some of my favorite choruses:

Arch Enemy - Heart Of Darkness
Black Sabbath - Die Young
Blind Guardian - Mordred's Song
Conception - Parallel Minds
Firewind - Angels Forgive Me
Gamma Ray - Valley Of The Kings (that song is probably the very definition of power metal)
Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight
Kamelot - Elizabeth III: Fall From Grace
Symphony X - Set The World On Fire

Forging towards sunset....denying the bitter reality.

Symphony X - Evolution (The Grand Design)

Symphony X is just one of those bands that always makes epic choruses.

Powerslave by Iron Maiden and Bonded by Blood by Exodus share the first place for me

Kreator - Terrible Certainty : not so obvious and not their best song by far but I love that chorus.
