Themed Mixtape Game

Mekong Delta - Age of Agony
Great song from one of my favourite Mekong Delta albums. 9,5/10

Mercyful Fate - Nightmare
The music is OK, but I simply don't like King Diamond's high-pitched vocals. 4,5/10

Flotsam and Jetsam - Dreams of Death
Thrash Metal the way I like it from one of my favourite albums of 1988. 9/10

Kingsbane - Dreamscape
There are some nice parts here and there, but overall, this song doesn't do much for me and the last minute is totally superfluous. 6/10

Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver
I've never cared much about the classic/big names in tradtional metal (maybe because it was Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" and the sheer energy of the music on that album which really got me into metal in 1984) and this ballad won't change this. Nothing of interest for me in this song. 5/10

Empyrium - Under Dreamskies
As far as the music is concerned, this appeals more to me than the two previous songs, but it could have been a few minutes shorter. Because of the affected "I sound so evil" wood gnome vocals somewhere in the middle, I only rate it 5,5/10.

Manilla Road - Dreams of Eschaton
OK, but not overly impressive and several minutes too long. 6/10

SepticFlesh - (Morpheus) The Dreamlord
The music itself doesn't do much for me and as if this wasn't enough, it features exactly those type of vocals I can't stand at all. 1/10

Sanctuary - Dreams of the Incubus
More to my liking than the last couple of songs. 7,5/10

Hic Iacet - Death in the Abyss of Meditation
This just goes on my nerves from beginning to end. 0/10

Firetower - Dream Comes True Again*
Quite enjoyable. The best parts are the guitar solos, whereas the verses are rather average. 7,5/10

Hexenhaus - A Temple for the Soul/The Eternal Nightmare - Act 1
I'm not too fond of the sound on the entire album, it sounds too dry to me ears. The music - also in this song - is still good, but doesn't come close to the debut album. The vocals sound a bit like on Mekong Delta's first three albums. 7,5/10

Titan Force - Dreamscape
This song does absolutely nothing for me. 3/10

A song I would have liked to see in this list is this one:

Mekong Delta - Age of Agony 5/10

Nothing to really say here.

Mercyful Fate - Nightmare 8.5/10

Hail the King. Not really my favorite off the album, but given that this is one of metal's finest moments, it's still wonderful.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Dreams of Death 6.5/10

Thrashy but I dig the vocals. Solid.

Kingsbane - Dreamscape 7.5/10

Never heard of this before. I don't usually like prog but I really enjoyed this. It wasn't a huge fucking wank fest and it had some really damn cool riffs.

Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver 1010

Empyrium - Under Dreamskies 7/10

I fully expected to really fucking hate this but I couldn't. Perhaps too long for it's own good though.

Manilla Road - Dreams of Eschaton 9/10

Pairing this next to an equally long song was probably not the wisest choice but who gives a fuck.

SepticFlesh - (Morpheus) The Dreamlord 5/10

Man, I never understood why people worship this band so much. I like parts of this, but the transitions are so damn jarring to me. It goes from Summoning-esque death metal to circus music. Just not my thing.

Sanctuary - Dreams of the Incubus 8/10

Wait, WTF is this? I didn't even know this existed. Fuck man, Warrel Dane sounds like a madman here. This rules.

Hic Iacet - Death in the Abyss of Meditation 7/10

This is pretty solid black metal. Nothing revolutionary or mindblowing, but good. Also, props for actually upping the bass in the mix. Fucking nasty sounding.

Firetower - Dream Comes True Again 5/10

Oh boy! Another unheard of boring thrash metal band.

Hexenhaus - A Temple for the Soul/The Eternal Nightmare - Act 1 7/10

Cool lead harmonies. Ok, yeah this is quality.

Titan Force - Dreamscape 6.5/10

I was supposed to see these guys live. Those vocals are awesome but the rest of the song doesn't do all that much for me really.

5/10.
Whatever.

I unfortunately dont worship the first couple SF albums like a lot of people seem to.

Ah, I haven’t been keeping up with this game lately and didn’t realise you won last round but were disqualified.

Interesting theme - nothing is jumping out at me immediately but I’ll try to get something submitted.

Expecting some anti-technology black metal.
