Eleven so far, good turnout, will probably leave things open for another day or so before closing.

Okay, I'm probably the biggest Inquisition fan on this entire site, but I'm giving this song a 0/10 because it literally has nothing to do with space and nothing about the song even suggests that it does. Inquisition has three albums full of songs about space, so there is literally no excuse for this lazy bullshit pick.

Or a word search of "star" probably brought that song up.
Lyric: "Strike of the morning star obliterates."
Lyric: "Strike of the morning star obliterates."
Laziness. The words "star" and "stars" are in a lot of their songs that are actually about space.
The song in question is one of my favorite songs by the band too.

Interstellar Meets Metal
Why. 4/10
Inquisition - Strike of the Morning Star
Not even remotely thematic. I used to like this album a lot but I'm pretty indifferent towards post-MGoL Inquisition these days. 4/10
Manilla Road - Astronomica
This one's barely about space either. I guess the lyrics at least reference planets and stars and shit. Not one of my favourites from Open the Gates. 6.5/10
Artificial Brain - Graveyard of Lightless Planets
Oh it's that art I keep seeing everywhere. This is pretty cool, much better than I expected. But again, how is it thematic?! 5/10
Haggard - The Observer
All right, I don't like the song at all but at least it's thematic. Points added for being the first song on fucking theme. 7/10
Mordeth - Platform S1
Somehow I'd never heard Mordeth until right now. I'm impressed though, the cold mechanical feeling works really well here. 8.5/10
Obscura - Universe Momentum
The exact kind of tech-death I really can't stand. I used to be friends with a few musicians and they were incessant in trying to push shit like this on me, frothing at the technicality. 3/10
The Sword - Warp Riders
First time hearing this band. I expected it to be terrible due to all the negative criticism from the underground, but it sounds much like the sort of retro shit the same types praise. Whatever. 5/10
Sacred Blade - The Enlightenment/Master of the Sun
I don't buy much music any more, but I would buy this immediately if it was available. 9/10
Dissection - Beyond the Horizon
Ultra tight, unquestionably spirited and focused and clearly Jon's most passionate release by leagues and leagues. Instant shivers. I'd give it 11 if I could. 10/10
Thy Catafalque - Köd utánam
Yeah nah. 4/10
Acid Storm - Galactic Holocaust
Solid thrash, nice vocals, good ratio of riffs and technicality. Galactic Holocaust is also one of the coolest song titles I've seen in a while. Album art rules too. 7.5/10
Star One - Perfect Survivor
Musically my least liked thing here by a large margin. Obviously thematic but eh, no thanks. 3/10
Coroner - Voyage to Eternity
Great song from my favourite Coroner album. Can't fault it. 9/10

Dissection – Beyond the Horizon

Not an in-crowd favorite, but a nostalgic album and pretty good for something with such a bad reputation.
Thy Catafalque – Kod utanam
3/10
Weird, and not in a good way.
Acid Storm – Galactic Holocaust
8/10
I actually really enjoyed this one, even though the band name is lame.

Gay space dance pop music with guitars.

Major props to whoever submitted Acid Storm. I was having a double take like "but i didn't participate in this round?"

Shocked at seeing these ratings for the Dissection track. I barely remember Reinkaos so I listened to it. It starts off bad but then at the 3:10 mark it gets really bad. Has that one somewhat decent melody as its only redeeming feature. His most passionate release? What are you smoking Slayed. This is not The Somberlain and it definitely isn't "Black Horizons" or the title track from that record.
The Obscura song is similarly abhorrent.
