But would you lick the asshole of such an individual?

But would you lick the asshole of such an individual?

i dunno, maybe i will be entranced by their animal spirits or pagan gods, i would not rule it out

 

[CiG]

What if they had Nordic runes tattooed around their sphincter?

 

[arg]

then i would search the globe far and wide for the proper counter-runes and tattoo them on my tongue

i love that insanely catchy motif in [Dvorak's] most famous symphony where it's like diddly diddly diddly diddly derderderderderderderder diddly diddly dudududududu. you know the one.

uhhh

 

[no country for old wainds]

Not true. Metal, while part of what makes it metal is the elements of classical and, or jazz, definitely has some blues-based nature to it. Black Sabbath is representative of this in particular, just listen to the debut, there's plenty of blues stuff there. Not to mention there is such a thing as blues metal, something exemplified in some Motörhead and Danzig.

The song Black Sabbath is clearly not blues based, and those songs on the debut that are bluesy are much more like rock songs than metal songs. Most of Motorhead is not blues based not sure where you're getting that from. And if there are bluesy Motorhead songs then those are more like rock songs than metal songs.

The only major genre of metal I can think of that is often blues based is Stoner Doom and that's questionably metal by many also. Also called Stoner Rock.

Every time I saw Motorhead, Lemmy said "We're Motorhead, and we play rock and roll", so there's that. Overall I'd call them a hard rock/metal band, but yeah there is some blues in the guitar work listening again... Still this is not typical of metal. I mean the way a lot of people define the genre shift from rock to metal was the song Black Sabbath, with its lack of blues influence which produced a heavier feel. After the debut Black Sabbath shifted even further away from blues, some exceptions aside.

Blue note.. it was the tritone or flat 5 or augmented 4th or 5th step of the locrian mode long before that. Being part of a blues scale does not make it blues. Then you could say every octave and minor 3rd and perfect 4th are blues based.. It's clearly being used as the devil's note not as a blue note in that song. You already knew this while writing that though.

I don't believe there is enough blues metal to call it its own subgenre. When was the last time any metalhead mentioned "blues metal" as their favorite subgenre. There simply isn't that much of it and those metal bands that do use blues are the exception not the norm, or they are actually rock bands.

 

[CiG]

The fact is, Pagan Altar almost completely abandoned blues elements when they recorded the debut.

Garmarna - Varulven/The Werewolf
UM does Eurovision. This is overblown cheese in a bad way. 4/10

Dvořák - The Water Goblin
I can't listen to all of this. Not my thing. 4/10

Goth nonsense is a no. 3/10

I regret not submitting something marginally fitting for this theme seeing how bad some of these submissions are.

Pokémon Theme
Even as a kid I was only ever a fan of the games, not the show, so this doesn't have enough nostalgic appeal for me to give it a 10. Not bad though.
6/10

TV on the Radio - Wolf Like Me

Roky Erickson - Night of the Vampire
8/10

Garmarna - Varulven
3/10

Dvorak - The Water Goblin
Total neophyte when it comes to classical, but the New World Symphony is my favorite work. Might have to do with it being prominently featured in both my top two animes. This is not prominently featured in any of my favorite animes, but I like some parts here and there. I feel like I'd need to listen to this a few more times to really assess it, but it's 21 minutes so...
Also, the fact that you picked a 21 minute track suggests you were either really low on ideas or just plain sadistic so -1 point for that.
6/10

Hola Ghost - Chupacabra
Somewhere in between fun and cringeworthy.
5/10

Wishbone Ash - Persephone
Fuck, this is amazing. I haven't listened to There's the Rub in forever but I instantly remember this. This was probably my favorite song on that album. Explain to me how it fits the theme and I'll give it a 10.
2/10

Bert Jansch - Reynardine
I want to live in this song.
8/10

The Deadfly Ensemble - Polymelia and the Satyr
Idk. Bit messy but I liked some bits.
6/10

Shub-Niggurath
2/10

Amebix - Fear of God
I could've accepted a song about god for this theme if it was at least about the wrath of god. This is more anti-church than anything. Cool song though.

Roky Erickson - Night Of The Vampire
8.5/10
Dat outro lead.

Garmarna - Varulven/The Werewolf
8/10
Not the best track off the album, but still solid. Whoever submitted this probably should've gone with "Herr Mannelig" instead.

Dvorák - The Water Goblin
7/10
I'm sure I would appreciate it more when I'm in the right mood. I like it well enough, but I'm not necessarily up for such a long piece taking up such a large portion of this playlist.

Hola Ghost - Chupacabra
7/10

Wishbone Ash - Persephone
4.5/10
A decent song and all, but while Persephone my be mythical, she is not a beast.

Bert Jansch - Reynardine
4/10
This strain of folk doesn't do much of anything for me.

The Deadfly Ensemble - Polymelia And The Satyr
8.5/10
While I don't like them as much as the related band Cinema Strange, this is a standout track.

Shub-Niggurath - J'ai Vu Naguère En Peinture Les Harpies Ravissant Le Repas De Phynée
8/10

Amebix - Fear Of God
2/10
This is classic crust, but as was already said, this is not really even about God as an entity. It's clearly a rant against religion. I'm more curious than anything as to why somebody felt that this song was a good fit.

Pagan Altar - The Erl King
7/10
