The Origami Forum

I'm just looking for songs that start out rather tame, then as they progress get wilder and wilder, kinda like Poor Unfortunate Souls from the Little Mermaid. [youtube]http://youtu.be/8oU85k7oOCo[/youtube] Any ideas of songs like that, simply growing wilder and wilder?

EDIT: Another (classical) example would be In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Look up "Moving Mountains" by Two Steps From Hell, also "Return Of The King" by X-Ray Dog.
EDIT: And "Take It All Away" by RED. The buildup toward the end is amazing!

Awesome band.
Classical at the start. Just wait

Try a classic. Edvard Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King.

i changed the first post several days ago to say that i have In the Hall of the Mountain King, and it's an amazing song to play on piano!! it srsly goes from the bottom or next to bottom note all the way to nearly the very top! and yeah, starts out at a snail's pace, but then by the end its a miracle my fingers are still on!! maybe i can upload a vid to youtube...

Gah, I'm sorry. I need to pay more attention.
I'd love to see your youtube video!

gimme a day or two, i'll take a trip to the practice rooms and record it. tis a fun song

um, do you mean, like, starting out slowly and getting progressively crazier?
led zeppelin's stairway to heaven is a pretty good example. it starts out slowly with arpeggiated acoustic guitar, then gets faster, bass enters, drums enter, solo and finally sounds like heavy metal =D

another such song i know is iron maiden's 'infinite dreams'. it starts out with a slow, soft solo with mild percussion and gets harder once the lyrics start. then in the middle there are two fast paced solos divided by a short verse and in the end returns to the original pace for the final verses.

Another one that comes to mind is "Diabolic Clockwork" by Two Steps From Hell. It's anticlimactic, but I like the steady build in itself.

Paradise city, by guns n' roses.

listen to "Haggard"
this turns out when death metal gets style

Two Steps From Hell:
"Cassandra"
"Winterspell"
"For The Win"
"Iron Soul (Dubstep Remix)"
"Nero"

Something like this?
