[@jwso]

I'm not even religious, but Demon Hunter kicking off "Extremist" by ripping off pages from the Satanic Bible at the beginning of "Death" is metal as fuck.

[@olivermikolajuk4631]

Another 2 in my humble opinion are “…And Justice For All” by Metallica because the intro to blackened is simply insane and gives goosebumps every time and another is “Cross” by Justice with its Godzilla sampled intro getting you into the vibes of samples with strong backing.

This Type Of Thinking (Could Do Us In) by Chevelle starts straight up with the Clincher, so when that harmonic hits you know shit is about to go down. Also good choice on the This Heat example

The first few seconds of Zen Arcade are goregous, especially the intro bass riff to the opener, Something I Learned Today, If we're counting live albums, then SS' Live! has one of the best first few seconds on a punk album. Gives you the gist of the entire record in 10 seconds; a rapid fire listing of the song title, countdown then some high speed noise in under a minute. The first few seconds of the Void/Faith split is also awesome, kicking off with the objectively best band. Also, the We Can't Help It If We're From Florida comp has one of the best opening lines I've ever heard on a punk rec.

[@thiagopratezi2130]

Obscured by Clouds from Pink Floyd has a great opener too. Flied over everybodys heads this album.
