Good Bass Lines

[The Heretic]

Guitar riffs/licks always get the limelight but a good bass line hits the spot too I think and are often overlooked? What got me thinking on this is that I've been on a Sisters Of Mercy binge and fuck me this bassline hits the spot every time!

Any others we should be aware of?

[Anvil]

Boring answer alert, but the first song that popped into my head.  Iron Maiden - Wrathchild. 

[Trev]

Always loved the intro to Lethe

[Eoin McLove]

Life Eternal!

Hellhammer is some bassist...

[OpenSores]

Another obvious one Death 'The Philosopher', I'd also add Electric Wizard 'Funeralopolis'.

[The Ancient Ones]

Always loved the short bass break in Morbid Angel's 'Suffocation'. Gnarly!

[The Great Cull]

Type O Negative - We Hate Everyone

3 mins in and the bass line is just brilliant.

[leoos]

Always loved the short bass break in Morbid Angel's 'Suffocation'. Gnarly!

The very best of the bass breaks across early 90's death metal albums

[Smythsonian]

Loads to choose from with Type O but the walking bass line at 1:34 is a savage overlooked one

[Naraka]

Nirvana's Lounge Act immediately springs to mind.
The bass lick at the beginning of The Faceless - Ancient Covenant.

NIB is the Daddy of them all...

[OpenSores]

NIB is the Daddy of them all...

Can't argue with that!

[Emphyrio]

Ya, good call on NIB.
For Whom the Bell Tolls is probably my favourite, though.

[Carnage]

Good call on Lounge Act, my least favourite song on the album at the time but probably my favourite now.

Another one that's as mainstream as it gets, I've always liked the intro to My Friend Of Misery.

[The Great Cull]

Not metal at all but Orange Crush by R.E.M.
