I'm not going to turn away a good pick, especially since several people opted out of this round.

I'm probably not going to have time to rate until the weekend. If it's still open then I will do it.

ALLY TO GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO YOU
Sorry for the delay. Lost my original notes to a power outage so I had to rate twice.
Absu - Stone of Destiny
Awesome and unfamiliar to me.
9/10
Samhain - Initium / Samhain
Half the song being an intro kinda works against it but I'll pretend it isn't there. Pretty cool song. Not really metal but I don't give a shit.
7/10
Slough Feg - The Wickerman
6/10
Primordial - Sons of the Morrigan
I've never listened to Primordial because it's not something that gets touted much by my metal gurus. I've always kinda mentally grouped them with neophyte shit like Agalloch et. al. But this song's epic as fuck as was the one in the ancient history round. I gotta check out these guys.
9/10
Doomsword - Death of Ferdia
9/10
Eluveitie - King
arg/10
Morrigan - Dance of the Leprechaun
Not fond of these kinda folky melodies in my metal but this is so gorgeously cacophonous I can forgive it. Actually as I'm writing this it's getting even better with some beautiful guitar leads.
EDIT: Bumping this to a 10.
10/10
Belenos - Ensorcelé
Seems a bit bland but maybe it's just black metal fatigue setting in. I'm not sure if I'm being fair to it so I'll give it an extra point.
6/10
Heol Telwen - Enez Giaz
This would be good but the folky bits are really jarring and terrible.
4/10
Mael Mórdha - The Doom of the Races of Éire
5/10
Lost Horizon - Highlander (The One)
A bit disjointed with too many stops and tempo changes, but gods when it's on it's ONNNNNNNNNN. Heiman rules.
8/10
Pagan Altar - The Crowman
I love Volume One but I gotta say all the Pagan Altar I've heard outside of that album I've found a bit meandering and boring. Guess I'm not a true Pagan Altar fan.
5/10
Absu - Stone of Destiny

Don't be mad, you might get a stroke, it's inevitable at your age. Also wasn't talking to you, I see you were not mentioned as a person who has yet to rate.

You're acting pretty high and mighty about rating for the first time since I started playing this game.

Haha, was it really that obvious that I picked this song? But yeah, it is a great album.

I used to rate every round since the creation of the game but then it became tedious. And now I'm stoked for it again.
You must be a really weak player dude!

It appears that did no come to pass, but I'll leave this open for another 24 hours at the very least.

Absu - Stone of Destiny
a bit linear and a bit calculated, i tend to like them better when they're more direct. cool tho. 7/10
Samhain - Initium/Samhain
over half the song is a pointless intro. the song itself is the kind of danzig platter i love, more or less. w/e it's just about metal enough. 8/10
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - The Wickerman
there are some killer songs with just about every album (think i gave a 9 to an earlier pick in the mixtape game), but there's always been something a little showy and gimmicky about this band to me (i imagine they work better live). this song leaves me a little ambivalent in the first half but i rather enjoy the extended solo, probably 'cause it's closer to being pure folk rock. 7/10
Primordial - Sons of the Morrigan
it's exhausting when they do this same bombastic thing over a whole album (i'd rather go for something with a bit more restraint and texture like early aeternus), but in small doses it's a lot of fun. helluva vocal performance. 8/10
Doomsword - Death Of Ferdia
vintage epic metal, goes on a bit and i'm not fond of the production. they're that rare band whose last album might actually be their best (along with RESOUND THE HORN anyways). 7/10
Eluveitie - King
get rid of the aggressive chugging and i'd probably not mind this. 3/10
Morrigan - Dance Of The Leprechaun
i specifically messaged kiwi david on FB to tell him there was a morrigan-ready theme going as he's a total fanboy, but his clone beat him to it. they might be the best of all the bathory acolytes. the woman who moderated metal rules/metal archives and kept banning me was called morrigan - metal rules is overrun by spam bots now so i got the last laugh. 9/10
Belenos - Ensorcelé
always hits the spot. super evocative, not in a particularly subtle way but it's just a very satisfying sound. 9/10
Heol Telwen - Enez Glaz
nice twenty minute flute solo. i actually like the sound of this, just not the rushed bouncy songwriting. gimme nokturnal mortum instead thx 6/10
Mael Mórdha - The Doom of the Races of Éire
this is all just blurring together at this point. 6/10
Lost Horizon - Highlander (The One)
i used to like these guys quite a bit but i wish they'd, y'know, tidy up a bit. vocals and some of the leads are really strong. might give it an 8 if it was more on theme. 7/10
Pagan Altar - The Crowman
musicianship and production is still unimpeachable, but too much of a laid back jam for my tastes, and i'm not fond of his vocals in this context (or any context really, but he suited the earlier stuff better). would give a 7 if on theme. 6/10
