Changes literally every day! At the moment I'm loving Witch Club Satan's new single You Wildflower.
Also (sorry for the spam), I co-present a metal radio show which plays music from explicitly antifascist and/or anti-bigotry artists called Contra Odium.
One by Metallica, Ratamahatta by Sepultura, The Trooper by Iron Maiden are all up there
Special mention for Gimme Chocolate by Babymetal

Arbitrary choice, but Wherever I May Roam by Metallica never gets old for me.
replies:
Painkiller by Judas Priest will always have a special place in my heart due to the hours 11 year old me spent air-guitaring that solo.
One by Metallica
replies:
Like other people say, "favorite" depends on the context. Here are ones I've had on repeat at one point or another.
The Hammer - Kublai Khan TX
Contraband - Make Them Suffer
The Migrant - Shadow of Intent
Die Alone - A Pale Horse Named Death (this one is for a sad day)
In The Name Of God - Rotting Christ
(literally anything, Garden of Earthly Delights is a good place to start) - Apocalypse Orchestra
Looking Down The Barrel of Today - Hatebreed
Bullet With A Name - Nonpoint
WAKE UP - The Browning (whole album is good, intro is a fucking headbanger)
Where The Things Have No Color - Destrage
The Orphan - Paleface Swiss
I have to go do stuff, but that should get you started.
*I'm back and adding some more, cuz why not:

replies:
Right now its still probably Killing Time and Space by Nekrogoblikon. Goblins, cosmic history, and a banjo? In my metal? Helllll yeah brother.
Not much of a metal head, but the whole Nonagon Infinity album by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is great. Also their album PetroDragonic Apocalypse.
What got me even slightly into metal, and stays mainstays on my playlists, are the albums Black Hole Space Wizard Parts 1 and 2 by Howling Giant. Cannot reccomend those enough. Also, their album The Space Between Worlds is great too, but isn't like one long story.
It’s so hard to pick a favorite, with so many great songs out there.
Meshuggah - Demiurge
Haken - Nil by Mouth
Mick Gordon - The Only Thing They Fear is You
Tesseract - King
Animals As Leaders - Tooth and Claw
Gojira - Silvera
Thats a hard one. But im a sucker for Metropolis part 1 by dream theater.
Murmaider
Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony - Human
replies:
Dopesmoker by Sleep, listen to the whole thing it's a real jam
What kind of metal do you like?
Meshuggah - Bleed
Rotting christ - ze nigmar
I'm unable to pick a single one, as it shifts very often. So I opened my main Playlist to find something, so today I'll give you three very different suggestions:
In Flames - Only For the Weak.
Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation.
Destiny Potato - Addict.
Ask me tomorrow and you'll get different answers
Deftones- Be Quiet and Drive
Idk how I can just pick one,
But the stage by avenged sevenfold is a good contender
I’m not a huge metal head, but “Trapped Under Ice” by Metallica is probably my favorite. I’d strongly recommend the entire Ride the Lightning album though. Pretty much every song is great.
Depends on what subgenres you're into.
I really enjoy power metal, and Gloryhammer is one of my faves. He has returned, Keeper of the celestial flame, Land of unicorns, Masters of the galaxy, and Rise of the chaos wizards are all ones I really enjoy.
Prog metal is another really good genre, and Between the Buried and Me is amazing and have some fantastic concept albums. Coma Ecliptic has The Coma Machine and Memory Palace being a hell of an earworm. The Great Misdirect has Obfuscation and Feed from Cloud Mountain as those two slots, and The Parallax double album is great (part 1 is a good ep, part 2 is the main album), with Astral Body being one of the main singles and so many tracks that get stuck in my head.
I listed a bunch of other bands in this comment as well that are really good as well: https://lemmy.world/comment/19203007
replies:
"Postmortem" by Slayer.
at the moment aaj by bloodywood
Discipline - Nine Inch Nails
Hmm, probably Vermilion by Slipknot, either part is fine...
Allegaeon - Proponent For Sentience III - The Extermination
Blind Guardian - Valhalla is also really good.
Changes all the time but right now I'm into Stoner Metal so:
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Gila Monster
Kickstart my Heart by Motley Crue
Trollfest Kaptein Kaos
Uncle Acid and the deadbeat Melody Lane
Blood ceremony The weird of Finistere
Actually, if I need to name only one, I'd say the latest
replies:
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
Got me into metal when I was very young, and overall it’s an incredible song.
I really like a lot of Megadeth's Hidden Treasures since they don't pop up randomly so much I've never gotten tired of them.
Angry Again, 99 Ways to Die, Breakpoint, Go to Hell, Diadems. All great stuff.
Archspire - Drone Corpse Aviator, first song that popped in my head thinking of contemporary metal
Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face, groovy and brutal
Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis, grungy doom goodness, love that bass line
Atreyu - Bleeding Mascara, just punches you in the face with an awesome intro.
replies:
Red Handed Denial - One More Night
Or
Spiritbox - Circle With Me
No Surrender by Beast in Black
The Sentinel by Judas Priest
Been feeling Black Label Society lately, specifically Stillborn and Blessed Hellride.
Here's a few of my current favourites, in random order:
Amenra - A Solitary Reign Blut aus Nord - Epitome XIV Thou / Emma Ruth Rundle - Ancestral Recall Thou / ERR - the Valley Celtic Frost - A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh Zeal and Ardor - Feed the Machine Ragana / Thou - the Void Neurosis / Jarboe - Within King Woman - Boghz
As the others mentioned, there's way too many options.
Heimat - Equilibrium (folk metal)
Score to a new beginning - Fairyland (symphonic metal)
Seven pillars of wisdom - Sabaton (power metal)
Probably Malfire by Refused, I found them through their samurai covers for cyberpunk 2077 and I've loved their music since
replies:
Holographic Universe by Scar Symmetry
If you consider Metalcore to be metal, then The year summer ended in June by Misery Signals.
replies:
Mine is always changing! At the moment: Relentless by Pentagram.
Wizard Fight by Weedeater. If I had to choose.
Wintersaga by Wind rose. My favorite band by a long shot.
Motörhead - Overkill
The Book of Thel by Bruce Dickinson
Chop Suey. I love how jarring the tempo changes are.
It's hard to pick one, but here are a few of my favorites:
Opeth - the drapery falls
Panopticon - Cedar Skeletons
Cult of Luna - The Fall
Ashenspire - The Law of Asbestos
Fen - Fear
In Flames - Only for the weak Iced Earth - Frankestein Antioch - Where the dagger lies Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
Hmmm...
Enter Sandman, and The Unforgiven (Metallica)
The Phantom of the Opera in Tarja's and Marko's version (Nightwish). Also Storytime in Anette's version.
The Keeper of the Seven Keys, and Eagle Fly Free (Helloween)
Chop Suey (System of a Down)
Dance With the Dragon (Dark Sarah)
Ace of spades (Motörhead)
.... A bunch of stuff from Guns'n'Roses, Black Sabbath, and Poison (maybe my definition of metal is wider than yours...)
Other days I'd have listed something by Evanescence, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Nanowar, Dragonforce, ...
Yeah, I tend to be biased towards power metal, symphonic metal, and various '80s groups that are somewhere on the border between "hard rock" and "metal". I know that's not everyone's cup of tea.
I see a lot of the bangers I would also put on my personal Mount Rushmore but I’m shocked not to see any Meshuggah on here. Bleed is an absolute face melter. Dirge for November by Opeth is also up there for me. I put that song on whenever I’m really down and oddly enough it helps me feel a bit better despite it being a song about killing yourself in a bathtub.
Oh and Parpaing by Igorrr is another song that goes hard as fuck. I can hit lifting PRs with that on. Honestly anything Corpsegrinder is belting out I’m here for. He just did a feature with Shadow of Intent that is similarly brutal.
Has to be Terror Train by Demons & Wizards.
Black Sabbath’s Electric Funeral if I’m picking something old.
Baroness’s A Horse Called Golgotha if I’m picking something newer.
Not really a metal guy. I like beautiful music. I remember asking people why people who play metal don't play beautiful music. And I got no good answers. No one introduced me to Iron Maiden, who would have fit the bill. As someone who does not like metal, I can listen to every minute of "Brave New World" (2000) and enjoy the whole thing. I also like Number of the Beast and Powerslave from the 1980s, and the one that released between them.
The metal band I really love is Nightwish. They're from Finland, but I think they only have one song in Finnish? The opening to Imaginaerum. Over the Hills and Far Away is not only a cover, but it's about The Count of Monte Cristo... sort of. It's not exactly the same, but it's basically the same energy. Love triangle sends an innocent man to prison. Except in the book (and many films) the girl was his and it was the jealous lover who set him up. In this song, he messed with his best friend's wife and that's why he set him up.
And if you wanna hear how they sound live — the true indicator of what a band can do — here's Wishmaster from their final tour, I think, before they changed singers for the first time. Their composer/keyboard player is a bit of a drama queen, much like Eddie Van Halen was, and similarly, his personality would clash with diva singers over who "leads" the band. Neither of them can keep a singer. Not taking a side — incredible talent all around. Just band drama keeps them from having a consistent lineup. It happens to the best of them (see: Fleetwood Mac). So you enjoy what you can as it comes. But sadly they basically suck now. Their second singer was good too, but their third singer either isn't working for them or they're out of ideas, because their last few albums have been duds.
The entirety of their Imaginaerum album is good, but it's a bit weird. It was always meant as a companion piece for their movie, which never saw distribution in the US. So you have to watch it online. I won't help you do that, but if you're savvy, you can find it. Or maybe you're in Europe and you can just pick it up. I think you absolutely should if you can. For a while it was on YouTube (unofficially but in HD), not sure if it still is or not. Worth looking for, and it's just under an hour and a half. Much like Pink Floyd's The Wall, it's about how a musician has been driven crazy. Here, his adult daughter tries to reconcile with him before his death. Watch the movie trailer here

I don’t have a favorite but Error Detection by Nemophila is an often played song in my list right now.
The Prince by Metallica is always a banger.
Pure White Poison (Masshiro na Doku) - Utsu-P
Hard to choose, but I find Old Gold and most of 36 Crazyfists super underrated. Especially the end of the bridge and into the final chorus of Old Gold is one of my fav moments in any metal song.
The singers got a new band Paradise Slaves.
Since nobody mentioned them yet, Strapping Young Lad - Detox.
Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.
