Songs / music that suddenly goes from calm to intense (1 Viewer)

[AcerFC]

Not really what you described, but this better than 1000 song would be kick ### on a video 

https://youtu.be/rhxmkSwndQA?t=23m8s

And this one is probably a little too punk for you, but Ill leave it here anyway EG> Hey GB :skinhead:

battery was my first choice. there are a ton though. a good one is:

Clutch - Binge and Purge:      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usgz2xayWGg

takes some time (4:40), but one of the best songs with this element with lyrics to go with it. 

To coin a saying at FF drafts everywhere "Taken!!!"

Someone already threw up Binge and Purge...fn crazy song.

 

[E-Z Glider]

title of the thread said "suddenly goes from calm to intense"... a lot of the slow & quiet building to something else- are those also what the OP was looking for?

A lot of great suggestions listed, but yeah, I didn't do a very good job of explaining. You're right that I was looking for songs that literally change on a beat, not slow building crescendos. Seems like almost all techno would fit this description, but I honestly dont know the genre well enough to know where to start?

Anyway, here are the one's listed so far that I like (and where in the song I like them - maybe will give a better idea of what Im looking for)... Keep the suggestions coming!

Jane's Addiction "Ocean Size"
fits your description

:20

Nothing I listed is death-metally but if you want extreme rage, metal is the best place to look.  Refused is not metal at all either.

The Black Keys - Little Black Submarines

2:06 

Omnitica - Yo Ho and a Bottle of Bass

Kinda Game of Throney...it's what I first thought when I heard it.

Insanity starts at 1:25

1:26

RATM - Born of a Broken Man

Violent Femmes - Add it up

SubVibe - Ominous VIP

 

[Dope]

Devin Martin - Killbot

 

[Dope]

Aerochord - Mechanical Mayhem

InstaKill might be the one.

lol...I gotta get back to work but I'm down the rABBIThOLE now.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Fade to Black

Garden

Firewoman but that sort of builds.

 

[Jaysus]

It wouldn't happen to be EXTREME! GoPro gift wrapping would it?  If so, check out 1:16 here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XlW7NTWoOU

Hi Jaysus...long time. Tell OBC I said hello.

the pretender  by foo fighters

 

[Tick]

Jane's Addiction - Ocean Size

It works on the album because they have some very soft songs.  If Slayer has 10 quiet notes at the beginning of a song, we all know what's coming...

ETA: Sconch beat me to it.  Dang.

 

[Tick]

AWOLNATION - Run (2:13)

AWOLNATION - Hollow Moon (0:17 and 3:00)

AWOLNATION - I Am (0:45)

AWOLNATION - Woman Woman (0:39)

 

[Tick]

Choral version:

O Fortuna (1:40)

 

[shadrap]

Long John Baldry-surprise yourself & watch it.

[saintfool]

another oldie but a goodie. might work?

 

[hxperson]

a couple more options for ya, not rock or metal:

Lamb - Gorecki

Ludovico Einaudi - Run

 

[cobalt_27]

The Pretender - Foo Fighters

 

[Gold Dragon]

You're right that I was looking for songs that literally change on a beat, not slow building crescendos.

Ivan Torrent - One of Us  fits this at 0:20, 1:10 and 3:18

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Kitties cover of Run Like He'll kinda fits the bill

[Insein]

Raining Blood - Slayer

What? It's calm for like 30-40 seconds.

 

[Statorama]

Looking for stuff that is a little more alternative/techno and less death-metally (sorry EG).

there goes my "Parabola" recommendation...although the slow part is only about 30 seconds

 

[audiophile]

Over the hills and far away   was the first song that came to mind.  almost a full 90 seconds before the "splash"....

 

[zamboni]

 Styx - Miss America

Nice - I actually came in to post "Suite Madame Blue"

 

[zamboni]

One more I didn't see mentioned:

Deep Purple - Child In Time

 

[Phil Elliott]

Nice - I actually came in to post "Suite Madame Blue"

Staying with Styx: Renegade

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Raining Blood - Slayer

What? It's calm for like 30-40 seconds.

Those opening Lombardo drums are awesome.

 

[El Floppo]

missa luba, sanctus... jumps up around 1:10 with the hosannas.

don't know why I thought of this one out of the blue.

 

[STBootleg]

Guano Apes - Open your Eyes

CLUTCH - The Regulator

 

[PIK95]

Arcade Fire has many songs that would fit what you need.  Rebellion especially would be a good one.  Wake up might work.

 

[Dedfin]

For grungy stuff:

Milk It - Nirvana

You could go through Mad Season's album and a few fit this description

 

[audiophile]

Nice - I actually came in to post "Suite Madame Blue"

Nice choice.  Crystal Ball has a really nice build with a light "pre-splash" before the Big splash.  Any of the three Styx songs are solid choices....

 

[Tick]

CLUTCH - The Regulator

Such a badass song.

 

[Tick]

I always like the drums at 0:52 of Basket Case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUTGr5t3MoY

 

[Mister CIA]

Sigur Ros - Glosoli

Buildup begins at 3:48.  Explodes into greatness at 4:40.

Also probably my favorite music video of all time.

Like a burr under my saddle, it was bothering me that I was forgetting something obvious. I missed your response above initially, but out of nowhere it hit me that Sigur Ros was a prime recommendation for this thread. I'm more partial to Popplagið though.

ETA: or is the song title Heima? My Icelandic to English skills suck.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Sigur Ros is a great band for these kinds of songs.  Glosoli is a great pick, as is Untitled 8/Popplagið from the ( ) album.  Seeing Popplagið live has to be seen to be believed.  Seriously. 

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a great band for this stuff as well, if you can handle 10 to 20 minute instrumentals that build, explode, retreat, etc.
