Mixtape Game ExTreME EdiTiON!

[arg]

Root - Talking Bones - 7
jammin

Alice Cooper - Pick Up the Bones - 2
hate this guy's music

Baroness - Take My Bones Away - 8
groovy

Pungent Stench - Bonesawer - 5
shit production, simplistic dm

Exarsis - Skull and Bones - 7
good effort

The Unguided - Boneyard - 9.5
clean vocals are full and manly, harsh vocals are emo-ish but raspy enough to be tolerable. the electronics and chugging/driving riffs make me wanna dance and headbang at the same time!

Reaper - Burning Bones - 3
sounds like the ass of the guy in the picture

Altar of Plagues - Feather and Bones - 3
some atmospheric parts were alright but vocals were total garbage and song overall was a waste of time

Sortilege - Marchand D'Hommes (there is an English version of this song called "Flesh and Bones" but it's not available on YouTube) - 4
cette chanson est une grosse merde

Nastrond - May the Rotten Bones Absorb Life Again - 1
who in their right mind would find enjoyment in listening to this

 

[Baroque]

How many more ratings we need?

 

[Phylactery]

Espada, Serjeant Grumbles, Old Wainds and Redstorm are the ones who submitted a song but haven't reviewed this yet I think.

 

[Phylactery]

Maybe we should let this one die after this round? It's always been less popular than the metal and non-metal ones which I think are enough anyway. It has completed Carpe Mortem's wish of the circle of life of meat, blood and bones now anyway haha.

 

[Baroque]

I like this one. It would be even better if it was extreme metal only. Especially since the other one is often dominated by trad heavy metal.

 

[Baroque]

4 more, we've got 6 out of 10. Lazy bastards.

bump

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Alright, I'll stop being lazy. Since I do want people to rate that game of mine with all of five songs, I thought I would be rather remiss to neglect this list.

Root - Talking Bones.
8.5/10
Root is just something else.

Alice Cooper - Pick Up The Bones
7/10
Sounds like Alice Cooper was trying to sound more modern and "relevant" around this time, as this sounds heavily reminiscent of Rob Zombie. He does it surprisingly well, however.

Baroness - Take My Bones Away
7/10
Not something I usually listen to, but I can see the appeal of it.

Pungent Stench - Bonesawer
6.5/10
It's alright.

Exarsis - Skull And Bones
7/10
At first I was thinking it was just generic modern thrash, but the falsetto wails made it at least decent.

The Unguided - Boneyard
4.5/10
This is very bro-ish metal with a rather lackluster chorus.

Reaper - Burning Bones
7.5/10
This is some nasty shit. I needed to hear it after that previous track.

Altar of Plagues - Feather and Bones
7/10
Pretty good sound, but nothing awe-inspiring.

Sortilege - Marchand D'Hommes
8.5/10
One of the standout tracks of this list. It was already going strong for 4 minutes, and then that choral outro section started, and it really kicked it up an extra notch.

Nåstrond - May the Rotten Bones Absorb Life Again
8/10
Some good riffing, a sinister, cavernous atmosphere - pretty good all in all.

 

[Phylactery]

I'll calculate the scores either tonight or tomorrow and then we can probably close this one afterwards if no one wants to play it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Which is weird cuz I think the songs in these playlists are generally better and more fun to rate.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Well, ya know.... That damned in crowd. Haven't given it their seal of approval, the bastards.

 

[Phylactery]

I'm doing it now, I've written all the scores down. Of course yours took three times as long as anybody else's to read because your formatting is horrible . Had to double check it twice.

 

[Phylactery]

Based on 7 ratings, the results of the BONES theme is as follows:

Root - 7.14 - @Serjeant Grumbles
Exarsis - 6.64 - @Baroque
Sortilege - 6.57 @HamburgerBoy
Pungent Stench - 6.5 - @Sirjack
Reaper - 6.14 - @CASSETTEISGOD
Nastrond - 6.07 - @no country for old wainds (Arg's rating of 1 killed any chances this had)
Baroness - 5.71 - @EspaDa
Alice Cooper - 5.36 @H.P. Lovecraft
Altar of Plagues - 4.86 - @RedStorm
The Unguided - 4 - @arg

Sergeant Grumbles wins!

Nice to see Root win, they seem to be quite underrated around these parts.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Maybe we should let this one die after this round? It's always been less popular than the metal and non-metal ones which I think are enough anyway. It has completed Carpe Mortem's wish of the circle of life of meat, blood and bones now anyway haha.

No, I think the game should go on.

 

[EspaDa]

Definitely should go on.

 

[Caecius]

New theme

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Aiight, y'all niggas. The new theme is ASHES.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i have a great choice for this and i'll try to rate this time

 

[arg]

i have a really gr1m and obscure track for this. it sounds like cobwebs and rotting tombs.

 

[Baroque]

This is my favorite mixtape game tbh. Also I submitted something super obscure

 

[Phylactery]

I don't know why, the first theme in this one produced a pretty awful list IMO. The Blood theme was really good, and my Bones theme was just above average.

There is plenty of extreme metal represented in the normal metal game, and the nature, H.P. Lovecraft and mental illness themes were almost entirely made up of black/death/thrash. Also, I pretty much always submit a black or death metal song in the normal metal game so you'll always have my pick to (hopefully) look forward to. I've only submitted Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" which wasn't an extreme metal pick iirc.

I've submitted a track for this. I don't know what the fuck you people consider obscure or well known but I think it's from a classic album that I haven't seen many people mention since I've been here.
