@dwellerINTHEdark just messaged me asking why his song isn't on the playlist.
Vilden
From the holy kingdom of Harmonia
I actually checked for a song but didn't really find one I wanted to submit, if I come up with a good one I send it in, but feel free to start anytime anyway.
Suprisingly hard theme to find good picks for imo, thought it would be a breeze.

ALLY TO GOOD, NIGHTMARE TO YOU
Don't have links to the playlists but I have been keeping track of each theme we've done so you can search this thread for those and you should find the playlists without too much hassle.
The themes we've done post-Ambition are Dependence, Literature, Punishment, Gods / Deities, Moorcock, Buildings, Celtic Mythology, Metal. Actually I have the playlists for the last five of those in my browser history, here:

The playlist should be ready this evening. There's a chance I may ask someone else to make it but I have to get home from work first...
Everyone has the pick they wanted and I didn't filter them at all so if you're off topic, tough shit.
Also, anyone else can feel free to submit a song until then.

Come on, Elric. We already went over this. @H.P. Lovecraft already trademarked that word...ya dingus.

Quite frankly, I'll be sueing Mr. Elric for a lot of money, believe me, he won't get away with it.

I fucking knew it. I KNEW that this song would be put here as soon as I saw that "animals" was the theme.
By the way, I see what you did there. "Lock Up the Wolves" being the first track and "Unchain the Wolves" being the last. You clever rapscallion.

IIRC, I said the song has to speak about an actual animal in the lyrics, not specifically be about an animal... But I'm not sure what youre referring to and I'd actually say let people interpret as they like.

The ones that I'm talking about do this in specific. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not familiar with every song on the list so I can't say if any others do the same.
People can ignore it if they want, but I think taking this into account will be a part of how I rate these songs. As I said earlier, I really like both of the songs anyway.

I wanted to submit this, but I thought the audio was potato quality (and it's the better out of the two available):
And then there was this, but from the translated lyrics it only faintly alluded to bears, which was disappointing to learn:

Dio - Lock Up the Wolves
Haven’t listened to this album in a long time; the song isn’t even familiar to me anymore. Not a fan of this stripped-down, dry period of Dio. Even the cover art is so ugly, like the mouths of those wolves I mean damn. Spiritually this is like the anti-80s Dio. The song is kind of neat in a way, kind of doomy but not really oppressive, just empty. It’s weird how a Dio album of all things gets me anxious and annoyed. If the song seemed to mean anything it might have come together and worked in some kind of flawed forgotten gem way. As is, I still don’t want to listen to the album. It’s probably supposed to be about priests or something anyways. 0/10.
Summoning - The Rotten Horse on the Deadly Ground
Can’t believe people waste energy hating Children of Bodom yet have no problem with this flowery shit. Keyboards are embarrassing, the riffs are weak (albeit still metal for this particular Summoning song), almost nothing here interesting. Had to start skipping ahead after three minutes, apparently the song basically just keeps repeating itself until an obligatory heavy fade-out. 0/10.
Slauter Xstroyes - Winter Kill
I never read the lyrics to this album until kinda recently and was actually surprised at how good they were; from the occasional comprehensible “I LOVE ONLY YOUUUU” and “SHE’S A WICKED BITCH” I always assumed they were garbage and avoided paying attention. Excellent song. 9/10.
Virgin Steele - The Raven Song
Woah, this Virgin Steele song actually has energy and riffs. Pretty good actually, don’t remember this one. Damn, nice bridge too. I might actually give this album another listen. 7/10.
Helloween - Eagle Fly Free
A Euro-power classic for good reason. One of the most uplifting metal songs in existence. The eagle is metaphorical here, so minus one point for that, but at least it’s described. 9/10.
Forest of Harambe - I Am Harambe (0:00-4:48 of this video ONLY)
Fairly soothing. 5/10.
King's Ransom - Caged Animals
Fuck yeah animal noise samples all over the place. The goofy hyper-coy vocals fit the circus presenter vibe well. Giving me strong Psychotic Waltz vibes now that I think about it, and this was a year before their first album. Riffy too, old-school prog/power is the best prog/power. 8/10.
Bathory - The Stallion
Vocal melodies give me a Blood of my Enemies vibe. Lmao @ the cucks that can’t acknowledge Manowar’s eternal superiority to this hack. Real men play on ten. Oh and here are the “Woah-oh-ohs” and the Manowar drum fills. Not bad, aside from the drum mixing the sound is pretty nice and Quorthon had a good voice by this point, but whatever. Pretty repetitive. You’re a fucking idiot if you think Viking metal is a real thing. 4/10.
Skepticism - The Gallant Crow
For a brief time I honestly enjoyed Skepticism but I just can’t get into them anymore. Just so muffled and shit sounding, doesn’t even feel heavy to me. Uber cheesy synths. 3/10.
Exodus – Piranha
Lol, I had considered submitting Strike of the Beast and somehow didn’t even think of this one. Perfect thrash metal. Hail Baloff, hail riffs. 10/10.
Gaza - Mostly Hair and Bones Now
Wasn’t there a brief period where these guys were accepted by the metal community as a token good metalcore band? If I’m not confusing them with another band, I don’t see why these guys got all that hype. About two-thirds in it gets pretty jumpdafuckup. 4/10.
The Obsessed - Sodden Jackal
Damn, never listened to their early demo stuff, this is pretty fucking intense. 8/10.
Obliteration - Goat Skull Crown
Used to see this fucking album everywhere when it came out. Probably should have given it a shot, these vocals are great, song is pretty good too. Neat solo, kinda old-school. Can’t find any lyrics though, and the title appears to refer to a portion of an animal repurposed into clothing, not an animal itself, so minus one point there. 6/10.
Destroyer 666 - Unchain the Wolves
Werewolves are people, you fucking racist. Boring intro, boring hardcore punk chord progressions, aimless solos, ten minutes of this bullshit. That riff five minutes in was good though. Please stop submitting this shit band. 0/10.
