oh yeah man there's plenty of songs you know from metal referencing films or overall genres - which could be acceptable

Movies are the most plebeian medium of art. I'm tempted to say fuck it this round and just make you guys suffer through some really horrible shit.

But if you don't play this round, there will be less really horrible shit, you'd fuck us over much more if you just played.

I would have said something similar because he's downrated the fuck out of pretty much everything I've submitted except Iron Maiden iirc. But actually I think I've enjoyed most of his picks, can't remember them all though but I definitely liked the Metal Church and Slauter Xstroyes.

i don't get how people into metal could have this opinion, or any kind of intellectual snobbery really. most of it is lowbrow as fuck, even when it's trying not to be.

arg has now managed to pick four duplicates in a row.

Let me guess, Amon Amarth/Behemoth/Nightwish/Arch Enemy were at least one of the bands?
I kinda want arg to win so he can choose "Whores" as his category and I can enter "Endless Slut"

I dunno, like sure I love all the classic Schwarzenegger stuff but I can't think of any songs literally written about Conan the Barbarian, even if there is a lot of great stuff in the general barbarian vein of things (probably based more on fiction or D&D or basic history shit). I'm sure if I entered "conan" to search for songs on M-A I'd find all sorts of terrible retro-metal, but I don't listen to that. Maybe when the list is posted I'll be surprised and see a lot of songs that I had no idea were based on a movie.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
I love this theme but I'm having another mental block. I watch tons of movies, but that's just it. Most of the movies I watch aren't very popular or are foreign films. This would work interestingly as a non-metal theme as well. There I could think of a bunch.
I submitted a track, just crossing my fingers its not taken because I can't think of a backup.

Horror movies are generally a good place to start if you want to find a good cinema-related metal song. Just avoid Iron Maiden though, they're too damn obvious when it comes to this, particularly on the Somewhere In Time album which is heavily inspired by Blade Runner.

I just hope I got stakes on my incredibly blatant first choice, hopefully you all hate the subgenre enough to have not picked it. If not, my second pick is good as well, but marginally less obvious.

I've never seen, nor heard of, the film that my pic was influenced by so who gives a fuck.

Yeah, sure, they only opened every show of the ensuing tour with the main theme to the movie, wrote an assload of cyberpunk lyrics, and did the promo photography for the album with paraphernalia from the movie...
