BEST OF 2010 (songs) #3 High On Fire - Snakes For The Divine

What do you call a song that mixes NWOBHM, doom, thrash and sludge to perfect effect? How about not only one of the best songs of 2010, but one of the best heavy metal songs of all time. Yeah, I said that. "Snakes for the Divine" is archetypal metal performed by one of the very best metal bands of the last decade (arguably THE best metal band of the last decade). If you like metal you worship at the alter of this track, if you don't then you simply don't like metal, poseur. This is the 100% pure unadulterated product, everything else is but a weak imitation. Initially I had listed this track at number 10 on my list, but I realized the error of my ways when it became apparent to me that everything that follows is some seriously wussy shit compared to this chunk of metallic perfection.
