Interstellar Meets Metal 9/10
Autistic basement-dwelling Napoleon Dynamite metal.
Inquisition - Strike of the Morning Star 2/10
Not thematic and I don't like that drum sound whatsoever. I'll always love their weird vocals though.
Manilla Road - Astronomica 3/10
Love this song and love this album but it's not thematic. More thematic than the previous song at least. Stop trying to shoehorn Manilla Road into every game.
Artificial Brain - Graveyard of Lightless Planets 2/10
I'm assuming whichever dingus submitted this actually meant to submit
"Estranged from Orbit" and got confused because the title of this song is the first line of lyrics from "Estranged from Orbit."
What a missed opportunity. Fantastic album of shimmering, cold futuristic technical death metal but this is not thematic.
"Vacant Explorer" would have been the most appropriate choice from this album.
Haggard - The Observer 8/10
Incredibly interesting style, I'm going to delve further into this band.
Mordeth - Platform S1 8.5/10
Totally struck by this bands cold, industrial, machine-like style.
Obscura - Universe Momentum 9/10
Of all the GMD users I think HBB and TB have influenced my music tastes the most, I would never have been able to appreciate this kind of metal before joining the site. But now everything about this sounds interesting, fresh and frankly amazing. The production is also fucking perfect.
The Sword - Warp Riders 6/10
Bloated doom rock that fails to live up to the previous record imo.
Sacred Blade - The Enlightenment / Master of the Sun 8/10
Fantastic fucking choice.
Dissection - Beyond the Horizon 7.5/10
I don't know if it's only me that hears it but instrumentally it kind of reminds me of Voïvod, except with punchy and powerful vocals instead of Snake's dystopian punk vocals. Nothing wrong with this at all.
Thy Catafalque - Kod Utanam 2/10
I used Google translate and this doesn't seem to be quite on topic. It mentions the stars and the sky and clouds etc but nothing about outer space. Not really a fan musically so, unfortunately that's pretty bad for whoever submitted this song.
Acid Storm - Galactic Holocaust 9/10
I'm really beginning to take to progressive/technical thrash metal in a big way so I love hearing stuff like this. It's new to me and it really makes me feel like a teen again discovering new amazing metal.
No lyrics seem to be available but I'm trusting it based on that awesome song title. This fucking rules.
Star One - Perfect Survivor 7.5/10
Arjen is fucking awesome, he's always involved in something cool and cheesy. This is so pompous that it actually works. Also the song is ridiculously thematic.
Coroner - Voyage to Eternity 9.5/10
Coroner are Gods!
This theme had so much potential, kind of disappointing even though the good songs I liked were extremely good.
Extreme highs and extreme lows: the mixtape.
