Have any of you ever experienced it before? You’ll be listening to something, and then something about it is either so epic or just so uniquely mood-shifting that it gives you goosebumps...Admittedly, this is an incredibly rare occurrence for me, but it has happened at least twice this year for me within new releases this year.
Post and share any if you’d like!

I’m starting out with a few that you guys probably wouldn’t expect from me given my uniquely old-man tastes in metal. Lol
I’m a huge sucker for melodic and starkly constrasting album finishers, especially on album from bands that aren’t particularly melodic.
Despised Icon. This is the closer to my favorite DI album, The Ills of Modern Man. “Fainted Blue Ornaments” has to have one of my favorite ending bits to a song ever. Right after that massive breakdown (which has a cool lyric), the band shifts into the most incredibly melodically contrasting gear, which is epic and dynamic in ways that their tough-guy deathcore style never touches again. Starting around 2:56 until end of song, this is the coolest moment of DI in my opinion, and it is straight goosebumps for me.
This one here by Black Breath is the ending from the finishing track on Sentenced to Life, the track is “Obey.” Right around 3:23 the moshy groove stops and clean and forward-sounding guitar leads carry this track out into a short and sweet guitar solo with a lot of soul over the Swedish death guitar tone that makes this band so cool. This ending really drives the album home to an amazing finish.

I'm with you on that Despised Icon track. It's such a great way to close out the album.
I get these chills/goosebumps from music pretty easily tbh but not so much from metal.
This song by Sigur Ros is the best example that springs to mind. It's the build up before the crescendo that does it.

This song moves me a lot. There are some personal reasons, but it just brings me back to a time I can never have again and can't seem to let go of. That I was the happiest I can remember while I was first listening to this band, with this track as the closing one on their best album, is hard to reconcile now.

Obligatory Jane Doe mention Some other epic outros that have a similarly euphoric, cathartic, melodic, atmospheric ending: stringypoo what are some of your "goosebump moments" from this year? |

I dunno man, those didn't sound that great to me. We're supposed to press play for all of them and listen to every clip at the same time, right? I figured. |

Being introduced to the music of Sigur Ros was a particularly memorable moment in my life. I was in 10th grade at a summer music camp in Arkansas, and I made friends with these other boys from Oklahoma. One named Nakossee introduced me to Sigur Ros, and I spent the better part of the summer discovering all of their music at the time. Magical approach to music-making, they have. I don’t know why exactly I haven’t listened to them in a good 10 years now, but thanks for sharing. That was great music. |

As I Lay Dying have really got me hooked on their new album, and at least the first two or three times I heard the song “My Own Grave” I most certainly had goosebumps, which I also spoke of on the thread in the downloads section for the album earlier this year. I guess today it doesn’t affect me as much because I simply have heard it sooooo many times, but I would like to highlight the spot. There’s that seemingly mild guitar solo around 2:40 that really ramps up to a really cool arc before the intensity of the music drops to a low energy echo-ish transition back into a full on blow of the chorus with a slightly modified clean vocal part. I personally found the clean vocals on this album absolutely stunning, and this moment really just blew me away, and still does. Combine that with Tim Lambesis’s inevitable message behind the lyrics here, and there is a very engaging emotional attachment to be had here, furthering the effect of the song and the moment I’m highlighting. Oh, and albinoskunk, great call on Jane Doe. That ending is one of my other big favorites. Absolutely massive and beautiful. I’ve not heard those others yet, but I look forward to diving into them later when I have a moment.  |

When I hear this last track on the new Crypt Sermon album, and I get to the 8:15 mark on the song, it just elevates in a deeply impactful way that just gives me the chills every time if I am listening directly and with good headphones on. Especially that last lyric that begins at 8:25. The vocal delivery is just impeccable.
And the big one for me from this year, bigger than that one, is from the new album by Troll. I know that it’s still November, but my mind is already made: Troll’s album, Legend Master, is easily my favorite album of the year, and one I’ll be listening to for a decade, more than likely. Holy shit does this record move me! It’s a grower, for those curious. I’m on my 20th listen or so, and it just continues to get better each time. I don’t expect you guys to feel anything from it if you skip straight to it and only hearing the first time, but the moment at the end around 47:47 just really hits me hard! What a conclusion, musically, and lyrically, to the epic story the album tells! It’s so soulful, and contemplative. They bill themselves as stoner/doom, but this album really just says progressive doom, if you ask me. Anyway, amazing stuff. 47:47 is my favorite spot, but there are a million moments on this album that move me.

Honestly, a few songs from the first 2 Northlane albums do it. Invent, Animate, and even ERRA does it for me too. I'm sure plenty of bands have done it to me before, but those 3 are ones I spin on the regular and just love it all. So much dopamine flowing through my head, and then I just end up cumming in my pants.

This moment was fucking amazing live. The atmosphere, the weather, the band, the people. We were all standing there with goosebumps.
I also saw Marylin Manson live in 2007 and at the moment his show starts a massive rain storm came down on us.

A lot of Counterparts song give me Goosebumps. Witness, You're Not You Anymore, Love Me just to name a few. For me it depends also on my mood, but generally Counterparts and Architects always get me.

The final bridge/chorus in this song will give me goosebumps forever. One of, if not the greatest Coheed song ever. 5:05 is when the moment happens and it’s unparalleled.

Here’s one that just crushes and leaves me left for words. I was gonna post this band Huntsmen in the Doom thread, but they’re only loosely tied to that genre. They’re really a post-metal band with sludge and doom metal leanings. Admittedly, I didn’t think this band would sound great looking at the descriptors, but their songs are really stellar! Forgive me if I’ve misplaced this recommendation in you, essien, but a part of me has a hunch you’d really dig this based on some of what I have gathered about your tastes. Maybe give this a listen when you’re free, because it’s a stellar album. The big buildup from about 5:20 to the end really gets me. Every time! It probably helps to hear the song leading up to it, but that spot is excellent on its own too. |
