Apocrypha - Ah yeah, shredder's delight! This is cool as fuck. Awesome geetar's, vocals, tune....9/10
Cauldron Born - Ohh listen to that geetar tone! haha out of tune but that's a sick tone there. A bit of primitive riffage but wait...a very cool wah solo -hey that was good- this rules. Never heard of these guys but lm on the bandwagon. 7/10
Sadus - Angry wasp snarl that l think was unique to this band..Sadus were in a lot of ways the perfect thrash/death band. Great aggressive riffs and vocals, an ear for catchiness, and hunger. What happened? 8/10
Messiah - Bland, forgetful, dull wannabes ....where's the positive for a decent review?....................um.........production?....i've heard some Messiah before but l cant remember it......i'm sure it was better than this. 4/10
Forsaken - yeah...nothing to see here folks...carry on,carry on....stiff, typical...boring 3/10
Manilla Road - hmm is this from the same album that people keep putting up songs from? Otherwise this band's entire career sounds like 1 giant album no? l like this a lot. 8/10
Trouble - This is one of those bands i've just never had a chance to hear before, Or, you know what l mean, they have always been there, in the background, way down on my list what to listen to. Hey this is good and heavy. 6.5/10
October 31 - Cool job on the production but the song itself has not really blowing me away. l like the geetar....6/10
Saracen - Sounds like one of my old shitty bedroom tracks...l like the vocals but this is insipid stuff 5/10
Icecross - love free drummers like this guy. Killer drum sound! this is so far up my alley lm bleeding. oh £18 on Discogs glorious 9/10
Tristitia - There's a lick or 2 that passes mustard but that's about it. This seem's to be trying way too hard. it's just boring. 4/10
Tourniquet - yeah heard about these guys but never bothered to check the out. This is fucking killer. l will be investing time and money into this band from now on. Awesome..cheers to the uploader. 9/10
W.A.S.P - Never my kind of metal were Wasp. but i'm starting to enjoy this band more and more..just not quite heavy enough..6/10
Immolation - Unique DM Gods that deserve all the Plaudits that they receive...l thought about this song but then l thought 5 others would go for Immolation - where's Deicide or Morbid Angel? killer tune off of one of the greatest...8.5/10
Cauldron Born - Ohh listen to that geetar tone! haha out of tune but that's a sick tone there. A bit of primitive riffage but wait...a very cool wah solo -hey that was good- this rules. Never heard of these guys but lm on the bandwagon. 7/10

Apocrypha - Penance (Keep The Faith)
odd mixture of tech thrash and muscular heavy metal. neat tension in this, superduper basslines, guitar maelstroms, even a nice RIDE THE LIGHTNING style bass drum in places. if i was gonna nitpick i guess the verses (or whatever that is at e.g. 1:40) are a bit too familiar. crappy youtube btw, had to go to spotify for this one. 8/10
CAULDRON BORN - Crusader
this is true heavy metal, fuck possers! i hadn't heard the demo version but i think i prefer it too. 9/10
Sadus - Oracle of Obmission
can someone pls confirm this meets the thematic requirements for abmission 8/10
Messiah - The Choice
/m\ LOWER THE HORNS 7/10
Forsaken - Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross)
too flowery for my tastes and that's to sugarcoat an underlying blandness i think. the lyrics might be worse than messiah's lol. i had no idea these guys were maltese, that's weird. 4/10
Manilla Road - Divine Victim
a top 10 'road song, maybe top 5. simple but emotive. point off for obviousness. 8/10
Trouble - Run to the Light
bit too much happy rocky shit going on here but the stuff in between is great. i probably haven't given this album enough attention. someone should insert wagner's vocals over a bieber tune to prove my theory that he could make literally anything sound good. 7/10
October 31 - The Verdict
i vaguely recall references to this outfit from king fowley interviews i've read, didn't know jim hunter was involved as well. not really my preferred style but it's fine. 6/10
Saracen - Horsemen of the apocalypse
a majestic '70s-styled NWOBHM epic, building to a spinetingling climax. 10/10
Icecross - Jesus Freaks
proto-metal at best but i don't give a shit, they fit here and clearly influenced some metal bands i.e. heavy load. they do border on novelty with their wackiness at times, but this song showcases them at their best. helps that they knew how to fucking produce albums in the '70s, this is a godly mix. vocalist is incredible as well, but the drummer is the clear MVP. 9/10
Tristitia - Christianic Indulgence
god, this label is/was fucking weird. among other things they released supuration's THE CUBE, a lot of elend albums, stille volk albums, gloomy grim's LIFE?, MYSTIC PLACES OF DAWN, orphaned land stuff, frozen shadows stuff etc. as for tristitia, this is a song containing the word "christianic", on an album called "crucidiction", and the guy is also in a band called "gardeniathan", so it's fair to assume he's a massive tosspot. the song itself is pretty heavy and understated as far as peacevilly gothic doom goes, i like the weird and intense leads. 7/10
Tourniquet - Ruminating Virulence
first 2 and a half minutes are pretty damn good, then the extremely shit solo kicks in and it all gets rather tryhard and mastubatory from then on. 5/10
W.A.S.P. - Babylon's Burning
the surprise of the list for me, had no idea they were putting out songs of this quality in '09! 7/10
Immolation - Nailed to Gold
i guess to be consistent i should take a point off for obviousness here too. 9/10
the lack of black metal here was disappointing (i originally submitted 'blood of christians on my sword' after cig's post but changed my mind lol) but i enjoyed the playlist. in conclusion, fuck arg's chink dad.

Apocrypha - Penance 7.5/10
I forget who recommended this to me, but I still haven't gotten around to picking it up. Will do, though. It's good metal.
Cauldron Born - Crusader 8.5/10
Sounds much better than the full length version in my opinion, legendary metal.
Sadus - Oracle Of Omission 6/10
Absolutely ruthless when they were in their prime, not as savage as Illusions but still very good. Mind-melting intensity.
Messiah - The Choice 7/10
Charming, cheesy, moderate heavy metal. I think I know this band but I can't be sure. If this had just a bit more of a rough edge, I'd rate it higher.
Forsaken - Via Crucis 8/10
I almost submitted a track by Forsaken, it wasn't this one though. This is a fantastic choice, I really appreciate the keys on this. Production isn't the best, but regardless this contains majesty of it's own.
Manilla Road - Divine Victim 8.5/10
Manilla Road will always be a 'top 5' band for me, but this is getting a little ridiculous now. One of my favourite songs by them though so I guess I'll forgive it. But seriously, stop submitting them.
Trouble - Run To The Light 8.5/10
If pressed, my favourite Trouble album. Extremely obvious choice, but since it wasn't taken from an obvious Trouble album I can forgive it. All I see is despair!
October 31 - The Verdict 7/10
I really should dig deeper with this band, for some reason they've gone over my head/under my radar. It rules, though what I heard from their debut was way better if I remember correctly. Whatever.
Saracen - Horsemen Of The Apocalypse 7.5/10
I think this one is new to me. Those cheesy synths are fantastic and that bass guitar, instant fan. This kicks ass.
Icecross - Jesus Freaks 7.5/10
This album is the definition of cult classic. Absolutely killer madman hard rock. Not really metal but if it was submitted to the non-metal game I bet there would still be complaints. Fuckin' killer drum fills. Ah well, I'll let it go this one time because I love it so much. PS: F.O.A.D. liberation theology.
Tristitia - Christianic Indulgence 7.5/10
Never heard of this band, it's very powerful sounding. Sounds like the actual voices of God even. Really liked this, still wanting more by the end.
Tourniquet - Ruminating Virulence 7/10
Instantly didn't like the production, especially the way the drums sound, but once I got past it I enjoyed it.
W.A.S.P. - Babylon's Burning 7/10
Impressed with how recently it was recorded and the production is pretty bloody good. Cool.
Immolation - Nailed To Gold 8/10
Now that's how you end a playlist, such a contrast in style with this and the previous few tracks really makes this stand out. Hail Immolation.
Good one.

From the holy kingdom of Harmonia
Apocrypha - Penance (Keep The Faith)
This was good but could have leaned abit less on the thrashy side for my tastes. . 7/10
CAULDRON BORN - Crusader
Not as into this band as a few on this board are but obviously good. Right up my alley. 8/10
Sadus - Oracle of Obmission
Not my thing, and points of for off theme, or someone explain how this is about christianity specifically? 5,5/10
Messiah - The Choice
How is this getting high ratings? This is like something I picture a Jehovas Witness puts on after a long day handing out flyers in the streets. I don't mind preachy but this was done in the bad way. 4/10
Forsaken - Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross)
I think flowery power metal and epic doom makes for a great combination. The cheese comes into form just right without the high speed tempo. Lyrics are abit wtf though. 8/10
Manilla Road - Divine Victim
Thematic but too obvious and not one of my favorites by the band, still Manilla Road are never bad. 7/10
Trouble - Run to the Light
For being a quite big trad doom fan I've never REALLY gotten Trouble, I like them just fine but never really put them together with the all time greats like alot of other people. Still, this is very solid stuff. 7,5/10
October 31 - The Verdict
Fine I guess. 6,5/10
Saracen - Horsemen of the apocalypse
Yeah this really ruled, probably the best song yet. Weird and atmospheric, abit video gamey but in a good way. 8,5/10
Icecross - Jesus Freaks
When I read in your reviews that this was proto-metal I thought I wouldn't like it at all. Still not a favorite but not unlistenable. 6/10
Tristitia - Christianic Indulgence
Nah, I often like this kind of music but something is kind of missing I think, not sure what though. 6,5/10
Tourniquet - Ruminating Virulence
Boring... 4/10
W.A.S.P. - Babylon's Burning
This was fucking good! Book of Revelation always works as lyrical inspiration. I think serious business WASP is much better than party glam WASP. 8/10
Immolation - Nailed to Gold
Not really my fav kind of death metal and I think this kind of anti-christianity is a quite lazy interpretation of the theme. I do hear the quality though. 7/10
