Hi all!

I love being caught by surprise by a metal song, and some of them did it by throwing an oddly awesome dance beat: I would like to know more cases of the use of this technique

Some examples on top of my head:
Melez's intro by Therion, From Beyond's harmonized solo by Enforcer, the insane intro of Chromium Sun by Virus...

Thanks!

um, I never would have thought of Melez as having a dance beat (plenty of "classic" metal tracks have a similar intro), so I'm not sure I get what you're after, bue here's a few:

Amorphis have a a dance music "segment" in Cares, an awesome song that also incorporates polka and death metal :D

have you heard Pain? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwCe9cXGrp0 cool video, too :D

and I always thought of Nighwish's I wish I had an angel as having an (annoying) disco beat.

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but it's the first thing I thought of.

Thank you all! I'll start to check what i'm not familiar with

Probably i was not clear enough, i'll try better: what i'm searching for is the open-closed hi-hat beat the first in the intro of Virus's Chromium Sun)

More than a few Meads of Asphodel songs have something like this.

Check out Contrastic. They're a weird avant-gardeish grind band that incorporates elements of dance in their music. Might be for you.

I don't know if this qualifies as dance music, but I always felt like a certain riff in Amorphis' 'Magic & Mayhem' sounds like something you'd hear at a night club: https://youtu.be/aGGZUETtLeY?t=145

Seconding Kovenant's Animatronic. But while we're on that note, why not include S.E.T.I.?

Also seconding the rec for the aforementioned Meads of Asphodel songs. This band's integrity is bulletproof. Anytime I see someone else namedrop The Meads, I'm instantly chuffed.

As far as contributions to the thread, I'll throw Carnival in Coal into the mix. Much of their music went straight into disco, and then right back around into grindcore or death metal, so there are dance-beat time signatures all over the place. "Don't be Happy, Worry", "Got raped", "Gang Bang" come to mind.

I think around 3:50 in Kalmah's "Heroes to Us" could be what you're looking for.
