Hello fellow metalheads.
I've been trying for some time to find a proper song to use as a ringtone on my cell but I can't get satisfied with what I try (mostly because it's too noisy and gets annoying pretty fast) so I thought I'll just check what others are using.
So if you use a metal song as your ringtone, please just share the name of the song.
If you use a segment from a song which is not just the beginning of it, please mention it.

I had Children Of Bodom - Bed Of Razors as a midi ringtone on my old nokia for like 3 years and I think it's a great ringtone.
Later on my new sony ericsson I tried the following as mp3's ringtones:
Luca Turilli - Kings Of The Nordic Twilight
Equilibrium - Unbesiegt
Heavenly - Miracle

Mine is the chorus of Inis Mona by Eluveitie. Makes me want to sing along rather than pick up the phone

I could never really find a good metal ring tone. Currently I have Eye of the Tiger as my ring tone.

I had Nattestid I, by Taake.

Just go to myphonezoo.com, sign up, put in what phone you use and the service, your number, then upload any mp3 and cut out a 30 second clip.

Voila, ringtone.

I have tons of ringtones, and set personalized ones for different people that call me. Working for a Finnish phone company = awesome.

Here are the ones I have:

Returning to Haraad el Chamon- Diabolical Masquerade
Sadness and Strength- Lykathea Aflame
Svartberg- Finntroll
Szamár Madár- Venetian Snares
Triumph- Devin Townsend
Mirrors Paradise- The Kovenant
Guds Fortapelse- Dimmu Borgir
dusk falls upon the temple of the serpent on the mount of sunrise- Nile
Crimson II- Edge of Sanity
Millionflame- Soilwork
Black Seeds on Virgin Soil- Old Man's Child
Amnesia Of The Wildoerian Apocalypse- Darkane
A Sunset Song- Sigh

Some of the more produced bands, really. Having some underproduced Emperor song through cell phone speakers is pretty shitty.

I have 2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden for certain calls, Colony of Birchmen by Mastodon for most calls, and Shackler's Revenge by G'n'R for texts. I like them all pretty well.

I can't get custom ringtones on the phone I have now, but it was "White Power" by Skrewdriver. I got real nasty looks when my phone went off in class.

Just open the song in audacity and cut the part you want, amplify etc.

I got Into The Void.

My ringer for default is Spheres of Madness by Decapitated. Except when my Mom calls me. Then it's EVH's Eruption.

I have Napalm Death - You Suffer as my message tone. It's perfect for that.

Unchain The Wolves is my ring tone.

Therein lies the problem. My phone's vibrate function does no longer function, and when it did, it was hardley adequate to alert me to a call. Shitty phone I know, but still. And the default tones are rediculously stupid.

I have Holy Diver as mine right now, but I may try to make a custom one sometime soon. Though its always cool when I'm standing in line for a concert and suddenly my phone starts singing Holy Diver. Everyone goes, "fuck yeah, Holy Diver."

Mine was "Master of Puppets" for a very long time until I decided to look for some more ring tones on Sprint's ring tone network and I was able to find "Twilight of the Thunder God" off of Amon Amarth's new album. I am very pleased with the section that they chose to use and the quality.


I used to be a member at a site where you could create a ring tone out of any MP3 that you have using various programs and my ring tone at that time was the Benny Hill theme. That was about 4 years ago.

Battle Hymns! It's an awesome metal song and it doesn't sound overly obnoxious when it rings.

But my text message alert is a different story, I have the Howard Dean "Yeeeaaah!" when my phone isn't on silent. One time I got two text messages in a row in history class and I'd forgotten to put my phone into silent mode, that was not one of my better days :D

My first mobile phone was one of those you could compose your own tunes. Among the tunes I programmed in were the main riff from Emperor's "I Am The Black Wizards" and the jazzy riff halfway through Carcass' "Corporeal Jigsore Quandary".

My current phone has Ozric Tentacles "Kick Muck" as the main ringtone, and Swans "Blood Section" as the text tone.

I'm not one of these people who changes tones all the time, I find one that works and stick with it.

I use the opening riff to Layla (Eric Clapton). I used some software to rip it from a CD, and clipped the rest of the song off.

I've been wanting to do some nice death metal riffs, but I'm just too lazy.

I believe AT&T. That was the only Morbid Angel song on it.
