Heart-Grabbing: A Compilation of Western Songs with Cool Intros [2025] (81–90)
Invincible feat. Lindsey StirlingEscape the Fate
Escape the Fate is a rock band formed in Nevada.
Known for their music rooted in post-hardcore and metalcore, they have remained active from the 2000s to the present.
Among their works, a track I recommend for its cool intro is Invincible feat.
Lindsey Stirling.
Featuring violinist Lindsey Stirling, the song stands out for the way it transitions from an intense rock sound in the intro to a calm first verse.
Panic AttackJudas Priest
Judas Priest’s song “Panic Attack” brilliantly captures the chaotic state of contemporary society.
Just hearing the intro, with its unmistakably British, flowing guitar phrases, is enough to set many hearts racing.
The sound is heavy yet melodic, and Rob Halford’s powerful vocals ride atop it to sing of the world’s anxieties and fears.
In an era rife with political turmoil and misinformation, the song offers a sharp critique of a reality where justice and truth are under threat.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, but their spirit of adventure, showcased on Invincible Shield, seems not to have waned—in fact, it has grown ever more refined.
Precisely because we live in tumultuous times, the presence of veteran rockers who continue to deliver such hard-hitting messages is invaluable.
Now is the time to listen to their music, which sounds a resonant alarm for the soul.
72 SeasonsMetallica
Metallica, the reigning kings of the world’s most successful heavy metal bands.
Their latest album, 72 Seasons, is a message-driven work that warns how past experiences can shape present actions.
The title track in particular focuses on the various traumas and influences encountered during the first 18 years of life, conveying a deep sense of introspection.
From the intro riff, the energetic performance explodes, and James Hetfield’s intensely emotional vocals make a strong impression.
There are songs reminiscent of past albums as well as punk rock–styled tracks, showcasing the band’s musical diversity.
Packed with wisdom gained through self-exploration, this tour de force is a must-listen for Metallica fans.
Fight For Your RightBeastie Boys
Beastie Boys are an American hip-hop group formed in 1978.
Because the genre of hip-hop wasn’t yet defined as it is today, their sound had a very strong rock influence, but their catchy musical style earned them popularity in the 1980s.
Among their works, the one with an especially cool intro is “Fight For Your Right.” Released in 1986, its intro is highly memorable, blending a sense of coolness with a comedic vibe.
Por amor al odioRafael Lechowski
Rafael Rekowski, a rapper from Spain.
He was originally born in Poland, but due to severe domestic instability, he moved to Spain with his mother when he was young, and he says he experienced poverty from an early age.
Though he’s a rapper, he’s a straight-up, decent person who hasn’t gotten involved in anything dangerous or criminal.
Because of that, his words carry tremendous weight.
He’s the very definition of a real rapper.
One of his masterpieces, Por amor al odio, is a stylish work that blends jazz and rap.
The coolness of the intro leaves ordinary jazz in the dust, you know?
Social DebrisAlice Cooper
Alice Cooper is an artist who gained worldwide popularity for his unique artistry that combines rock music and theatrical performance.
While he is known as a legend of glam rock and many people associate his work with a fantastical image, there are also stylish and cool tracks in his catalog.
One of them is Social Debris.
Centered on glam rock, it’s a curious piece that, aided by his vocals, also evokes an atmosphere reminiscent of death metal.

Aeron Jones is an American singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for his unique musical style that blends genres like grunge, rock, hip-hop, and soul.
While he hasn’t had massive chart-topping hits, he has consistently produced great songs since 2005.
One of his standout tracks, “Take Me Away,” is particularly memorable for its distorted guitar intro.
