Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky

and it can be as well mentioned in "most memorable intro"...this song is solid as rock and strong like hell

The Insight and the Catharsis by Dimmu Borgir, ICS Vortex has THE most amazing voice in the world.

!T.O.O.H.! - Kali



We can close this now since I just posted the best way to end everything. This is how you end a song, how you end an album, how you end your entire carrier with your friends. Fuck it... This is how I want the fucking world to end!!! Words can't describe how brilliant and epic this outro is.

Helloween - Follow The Sign

Judas Priest - Beyond The Realms Of Death
Halford's screams near the end along with the second solo sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard it.

Bloodbath - Cancer of the Soul

Visions (Southern Cross)-Stratovarius

I'd have to go with these 3:
King Diamond's Cremation
"Whenever the dark is near, I will return from the grave to haunt you, godforsaken whore!"
*Bell tolls*
*the main riffs fades in then cuts out abruptly*
Geves me chills everytime I listen to it.

Megadeth's Ashes in Your Mouth
"Mercy...Mercy....Meeercyyy...Meeeeerrrrcyyyyyy..."
*Drum solo that's fast at first, but goes slower and slower until you hear the crash of instruments that sound like a klaxon*

And finally...
Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath
"No, no, please! NO!"
*Mindless smashing of instruments for almost a minute*
That's how I want the world to end.

Gojira - Remembrance
Opeth - Deliverance

+1 to that!!!!!!!!

Cryptopsy, "and now go cry to your mama".

I like the way Dave Mustaine shouts 'Mercy Killings' at the end of Holy Wars so it's:
Megadeth - Holy Wars

Omnium Gatherum - Everfields
and
Disillusion - The Sleep Of Restless Hours
also Megadeth's Holy Wars with the "Mercy killings"

Easily the dialogue at the end of the The Meads of Asphodel's 'Welcome To Planet Genocide' EP. Both hilarious and awesome.

Oh yeah, that one's pretty amazing as well.

Full Moon Madness by Moonspell. That Guitar solo, one of my favorite.

Draconian - death come near me
Just awesome.

The Outro to "Dragged Across The Forest Floor" by WoY has an intense breakdown.

it's pretty awesome.

Here's just 3 off the top of my head...

Sepultura - R.I.P. (Rest In Pain)

The outro to this used to scare me to death when I was younger! The last riff is derirative of Slayer, but a good one! After that, a seemingly normal crashing ending ensues, which then suddenly takes a carreening left turn into a twisted circus type melody, which leads into a final crashing ending featuring a maniacal tortured screaming horde before the voices slow right down and it ends with abrupt crackling sound that gives off the feeling that life has ended... yep, listening to that one at night in the dark with headphones was definitely a bad idea!

Iced Earth - Gettysburg (1863)

This 30+ minute epic certainly ends with an outro worthy of ending such an amazing musical piece. The final passage of Tim Owens singing despairingly "I look across this bloodsoaked land, all this blood is on my hands. God forgive me, please forgive me... It's all my fault, the blood is on my hands." is just searing, which leads perfectly into an ominous, distressed guitar riff with a highly dramatic horn section that sounds as if it's overseeing the death on the battlefield. It finally climaxes with a sombre and tragic sounding string section that laments the dead... I never fail to be moved by this section of the song.

Rush - 2112

Simply an epic ending, to an immensely epic song. "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed control"... I always get that spine tingling feeling when I hear that over the outro. Just amazing.

Pantera - Floods

Opeth-To Bid You Farewell/Blackwater Park
Equilibrium-Mana
Wintersun-Sadness and Hate
Scar Symmetry-Ghost Prototype II-Deus Ex Machina
Jogeir Liljedahl-Antiquated/Piece of Luck
Insomnium-One For Sorrow
Coldworld-Escape
Lunar Aurora-Das Ende
Be'Lakor-Countless Skies/Sanguinary

Got a new one:
Candlemass - A Sorcerer's Pledge
I just love that vocalization. The most ideal way to end the album. Only wish it was a tad longer.

I love that ending to 2112, and the whole song in general! Nice pick.

I would add The Fountain of Lamneth in for Rush as well (from Caress of Steel). The similarities between the intro and outro tie the quite lengthy song together and end it all very nicely. It's a fantastic song.

Also, one of my favourite outro's ever is in the song "How Could I" by Cynic, off of Focus. After the last vocals are uttered there is a couple minutes of just a really nice flowing kind of riff and one hell of a solo over top of it. The song fades away over those last couple of minutes and it's rather ethereal.

The outro to Baying of the Hounds by Opeth really gets me pumped!! The most eargasmic part of this awesome song without a doubt. I also love the ending to the 30 minute epic The Great Escape by Seventh Wonder and how it all wraps up at the end, the acoustic guitar is chilling.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

The end of Swashbuckle's Back To The Noose. Tracks 18, 19 & 20 put together are great.

Alright, now this is how you end a black metal song. My god, what a beautiful riff.

Gojira are really good at employing repetitive outros that often end up being the best part of the song. Some of the first ones that come to mind are The Gift of Guilt, In the Wilderness, Global Warming and The Way of All Flesh. But there are way more than that.

Other outros that stick with me are, off the top of my head:
Dark Tranquillity - Iridium
Sonata Arctica - Destruction Preventer
Katatonia - Tonight's Music
Porcupine Tree - Mellotron Scratch
Stryper - The Writing's On the Wall
Turisas - Five Hundred and One
Star One - It's Alive, She's Alive, We're Alive
Extol - Grace for Succession

Whenever a question like this comes up I always get carried away and end up trawling half of my music library :x

Also, nominating Pull Me Under for worst outro ever. What were they thinking?

For me it would be the Procession of Dead Clowns from The Work Which Transforms God by Blut aus Nord. Not sure if the others have not mentioned this song yet.
Also, White Cluster from Still Life and outro of The maniacal Vale are really excellent

Dream Theater - Octavarium

Has to be my all time favourite ending to any album/song.
