Let's go...
Earth - There is a Serpent Coming 3/10
Regardless of artist intent, I don't get the "Dragons" vibe here. This is just boring. The vocals were also annoying. The guitar sound was the only redeeming thing that I could find here. Sorry. Actually, I'm not sorry.
Omen - Dragon's Breath 8/10
This is a great song. You get the sense that these men are warriors singing a rousing tune as they prepare to die in a blaze of glory against a mighty dragon.
Tyrant - Take it to the Dragon 7.5/10
More bands should attempt to channel the mysticism of "Beyond the Realms of Death" if you ask me. This one is thematically and atmospherically on point, but slightly longer than I wanted.
Amon Amarth - The Dragon's Flight Across the Waves 7/10
This is my favorite Amon Amarth song. Their early music is fairly pleasing. It captures the feeling that you expect from the title as it strikes a balance between heaviness and majestic quality.
The Black Dahlia Murder - Vlad, Son of the Dragon 0.5/10
Nope.
Bewitched - Dragonflight 8/10
I love this album. This is a perfect pick for the theme. I love the obvious spirit of the performances and the nods to Mercyful Fate.
Dream Evil - Chasing the Dragon 4/10
This just isn't for me. Points for making me think about dragons.
Dark Millennium - Beyond the Dragon's Eye 4/10
Honestly, I found this annoying. This is not for me.
Saint Vitus - Dragon Time 9/10
This is the clear winner here for me. I thought about selecting this song. The atmosphere is perfect and it really makes you think that about the threat of a dragon attack.
The Wizards - Dragon Slayers 1/10
I hate to say this, but this has no real place here and comes off as some insincere parody of high fantasy rather than a song that captures the theme.
Crimson Glory - Where Dragons Rule 7.5/10
I really haven't listened to enough Crimson Glory and it is apparent to me that I should change that. All in all, this is a solid song. Midnight is very charismatic.
Heir Apparent - Dragon's Lair 8/10
This was the most exciting song on the playlist. I love everything about it. It makes me want to go out and fight a dragon.
Nocternity - Valyrian Steel (Blood of the Dragon) 7.5/10
I was thinking that this playlist needed more extreme metal. This song helps fill that void. I love Nocternity and the cold intensity and excellent pacing of this song really give it the appropriate atmosphere.
Therion - Ho Drakon Ho Megas 5/10
I've never really been able to appreciate this particular sort of thing. The ridiculous symphonic parts kill the atmosphere.
Maveth - Dragon of the Continuum 6/10
I thought that this was reasonably. The dragon here seems to be some sort of malicious entity. Not a standout track.
Helcaraxe - Red Dragon 6/10
I really thought that this song sounded a bit disjointed. I don't know that all of the parts really fit together for me. It had some good ideas but it could use a bit more cohesion.
Overall, this playlist was a mixed bag for me. I liked some of the songs quite a bit, but there were some that I found boring or even offensive to my musical sensibilities. I do think that I know who picked some of my favorites from this list. There were some great selections.
