Themed Mixtape Game

Slayer - Payback 5/10 maybe I'm being a little generous here. Not one of my favorite Slayer albums but fits the theme well and sets the tone.

Razor - Shotgun Justice 10/10 would give this an 11 if I could. Great band, great song, great pick.

Guided Cradle - Revenge of the Orcs 7/10 never heard of these guys but I dig it. Got that oldschool crossover vibe.

Kronos - Monumental Carnage 6/10 decent

Morlok VonGrimorog - Melekron 4/10 alright.....this was a pretty fun to listen to. 15 minutes long I actually made it through the whole thing. Not something I'll probably ever listen to again. I don't really know whats going on here:err:

Rosenfeld - Revenger 8/10 yeah this pretty awesome. I know I have this cd somewhere in my collection in the basement. My wife keeps that shit under lock and key so I don't make a mess and spread shit all over the house but whatever. Probably haven't heard it in over 20 years.

Rigor Mortis - Shroud of Gloom 10/10 this is the kind of stuff I grew up with. Classic for me

Paradox - Crusaders Revenge 7.5/10 mildly familar with these guys. Pretty kick ass

Glacier - Vendetta 9/10 love this kind of oldschool heavy/power stuff.

Zemial - For a Fallen One 4/10 trying to be open minded but its not working. Can't get into this.

Grand Magus - Silver into Steel 5/10 I liked the way this started but didn't do much for me. Middle of the road.

Virgin Steele - Wings of Vengeance 7/10 heard a lot about these guys but never actually heard them. Catchy, I dig it. Will research more

Cemetary - Scars 8.5/10 oldschool sweden shit. Killer

The Shadow Order - Strife For Revenge 5/10 just not for me. Liked the start

Aeternus - Sworn Revenge 5.5/10 same as above. This comes on really heavy and buried me in that wall of sound, but then it just faded out for me

Diamond Head - Am I Evil? 9/10 not much to say kickass song

Black Death - Retribution 9/10 don't know if I ever heard these guys before or not but its pretty damn good. Will research more.

Slayer - Payback 3/10
I got revenge on this track by skipping it after he shouted "payback's a bitch motherfucker" the first time.

Razor - Shotgun Justice 9/10
Scenes from Death Wish 3 flashing behind my eyes. "This is how a scumbag dies!"

Guided Cradle - Revenge of the Orcs 7/10
Not bad.

Kronos - Monumental Carnage 7.5/10
This is nice and relentless, like that Punisher prison hall massacre scene from Daredevil.

Morlok VonGrimorog - Melekron 8/10
Weird repressed guitar tone that actually works, I'm enjoying this a lot.

The album title is: Flippity Fuckity Doo... :lol:

Rosenfeld - Revenger 7.5/10
God damn, insane vocalist! Japan's answer to Sadus or something?

Rigor Mortis - Shroud of Gloom 8/10
Classic album that I need to listen to more often.

Paradox - Crusaders Revenge 9.5/10
This is so damn good. Power/thrash may just be one of the greatest subgenres in metal.

Glacier - Vendetta 10/10
USPM perfection, no more words are needed here.

Zemial - For a Fallen One 9.5/10
I love this kind of solemn, plodding black heavy metal.

Grand Magus - Silver into Steel 8/10
GLORIOUS! Lyrics are a little vague however.

Virgin Steele - Wings of Vengeance 10/10
Great choice, it's always amazing to me what Virgin Steele are able to not just get away with, but to make it sound brilliant and perfect. Hail.

Cemetary - Scars 9.5/10
Much needed heaviness!

The Shadow Order - Strife For Revenge 9/10
This has converted me to national socialism. Heil mein Richard Spencühr.

Aeternus - Sworn Revenge 10/10
This band is directly in my sights as of recently. I shall have a CD of theirs, not even Allah himself can stop me.

Diamond Head - Am I Evil? 9.5/10
Fucking absolutely massive and evil riff song! Denner & Shermann eat your hearts out.

Black Death - Retribution 9/10
This band fucking destroys and destroys and utterly destroys. TRVE BLACK METAL.
 
Paradox’s first two albums are really fucking cool. I haven’t heard the rest so they might be too but I really need to get those ones.
 
Slayer - Payback
3/10.
Nice troll song.

Razor - Shotgun Justice
9/10.
This is just so fucking pissed off, putting that faggy Slayer song before this one made it even better.

Guided Cradle - Revenge of the Orcs
8/10.
Nice high energy stuff. I could see myself buying this for sure.

Kronos - Monumental Carnage
9/10.
Havent listened to Kronos for years. Really feeling this one.

Morlok VonGrimorog - Melekron
8/10.
Ha, what the fuck is this? Did Jack Black and Rob Halford secretly record an album together?

Rosenfeld - Revenger
7/10.
This isnt bad or anything, feel like its just something I would glance over completely if it wasnt for the album art. The guy with the mic is straining his voice... and my ears also.

Rigor Mortis - Shroud of Gloom
7.5/10.
Not the best Rigor Mortis song I've heard.

Paradox - Crusaders Revenge
8.5/10.
Really good, like I figured it'd be.

Glacier - Vendetta
6/10.
Early 'murrican power metal is usually something I eat up. This isnt one for me though. vocalist is weak and the instruments sound as bored as I am.

Zemial - For a Fallen One
8/10.
Fuckin Greek black metal.

Grand Magus - Silver into Steel
2/10.
Decent song, dont see how the fuck its on topic. Convince me and I'll add +5 to its total.

Virgin Steele - Wings of Vengeance
6/10.
Virgin Steele seems to have three types of songs. Awesome (uncommon) whatever (fairly common) and jesus fucking christ this is faggy (fairly common) This one's fairly in the middle category.

Cemetary - Scars
7/10.
Solid old school death metal, its just a genre thats fallen out of favor for me in recent times.

The Shadow Order - Strife For Revenge
4.5/10.
Sounds fucking flat compared to the rest of the list. Weedily woodily wiiidly and someone assaulting a trash can.

Aeternus - Sworn Revenge
7.5/10.
Good, yeah. I have this album and the proceeding one and dont find myself listening to them much though.

Diamond Head - Am I Evil?
8/10.
Metallica has kinda ruined this song for me. It's great though

Black Death - Retribution
6.5/10.
I'm bumping a couple points off this because I feel like its only vaguely on topic. Yeah, the lyrics have the word Retribution in them but if you actually read them it sounds like Satan is coming to get people for being evil. That's not really revenge, thats his job.


Pretty good list.
 
That Black Death song is definitely about Jesus Christ and his followers enacting retribution on Satan and sinners for their transgressions during the battle that is supposed to occur in final days described in the Book of Revelation.

Doomentor - The Tomb
I've said this before but I love black metal that veers away from the ubiquitous 2nd wave sound into something more primal. This, to me, just sounds like pure darkness intuitively translated into music without overreliance on the tropes of any established style. Really disappointed in the middling ratings this is getting, because this fucking owns. To everyone calling this bland or unoriginal, please tell me what this is so heavily derivative of because I'm clearly not hearing it.
9/10

This popped up unintentionally when I did a word search and I'm wondering if you knew they released a full length since?

Slayer - Payback 1/10
lololol i also hate my parents

Razor - Shotgun Justice 9.5/10
I never heard any Razor cuts post Violent Restitution until @TechnicalBarbarity posted this record a couple weeks ago or so. This embodies everything I love in B-Horror inspired thrash. RAWWW

Guided Cradle - Revenge of the Orcs 3/10
Meh. Beatdown vocal cadence like the slayer track. The break was entirely underwhelming as well.

Kronos - Monumental Carnage 4/10
The guitar tone is a bit off for what I'm assuming is supposed to be Brutal Death Metal. The technical flourishes are more tasteful than some bands, but I can't really reconcile with low register and the screech vocal combo. The breakdown was booooring for something that's supposed to get the people going.

Morlok VonGrimorog - Melekron 6/10
lolol I was sold when he dropped that football line. This was kinda fun, but not something I'd ever return to

Rosenfeld - Revenger 7.5/10
This kind of rips mane.

Rigor Mortis - Shroud of Gloom 9.5/10
Nuff said.

Paradox - Crusaders Revenge 6.5/10
This has been on my wishlist for an eternity. The riffs are on point, but I can't say I dig the vocals all that much.

Glacier - Vendetta 8/10
Galloping and rollicking! The vocalist is pretty meek in an endearing way. Def the best track off the EP

Zemial - For a Fallen One 6/10
True af hellenic BM. Always respected Zemial, but it never really connected.

Grand Magus - Silver into Steel 8/10
Ever only heard their debut, but this knocks. Definitely triumphant and I love the songs arch. Gonna have to pick this record up

Virgin Steele - Wings of Vengeance 7/10
Was this dude recording vocals around a maternity ward? W/E tho this was the better side of corny.

Cemetary - Scars 5/10
As @CASSETTEISGOD said, it's great to break the monotony here. Unfortunately Cemetary can't spell for shit and is pretty milquetoast overall.

The Shadow Order - Strife For Revenge 8/10
Tin man production style. I enjoyed this for the most part

Aeternus - Sworn Revenge 9/10

Ahh brutality leading into that folky passage. Obviously amazing

Diamond Head - Am I Evil? 4/10
[TRIGGER WARNING] Really underwhelming when compared to their contemporaries. Everything Diamond Head were about was being out done on all fronts by superior bands.

Black Death - Retribution 8.5/10
Was only vaguely familiar with this band. Extremely crunchy for the time!

FYI I didn't submit a track this round, but figured I'd throw my thoughts into the mix
 
Slayer - Payback

1/10

I'll give this one point for being themed properly. I'm glad that it was at the beginning so it was out of the way quickly.

Razor - Shotgun Justice

8/10

Razor was one of the first bands that I learned about when I joined this site. Quality pick.

Guided Cradle - Revenge of the Orcs

6/10

There's no denying that this is themed properly. Solid but not exceptional. Vocals do make me imagine an orc behind the microphone.

Kronos - Monumental Carnage

6/10

No complaints, much like the last song.

Morlok VonGrimorog - Melekron

7/10

HBBcore. This is actually pretty entertaining but it was probably longer than it needed to be.

Rosenfeld - Revenger

8/10


This was pretty cool. I'll investigate further.

Rigor Mortis - Shroud of Gloom

9/10

This is my favorite Rigor Mortis song. In light of Bruce Corbitt's ongoing battle with cancer, I hope that he makes it through because I don't want an angry undead Bruce Corbitt to go on a killing spree.

Paradox - Crusaders Revenge

6/10

Sorry, Baroque.

Glacier - Vendetta

7.5/10

This is an in-crowd staple, but I really like the way this song is put together and the vocal performance is great.

Zemial - For a Fallen One

7/10

I knew that someone was going to pick this. It's one of the better Bathory worship songs.

Grand Magus - Silver into Steel

8/10

I've never even listened to Grand Magus, even though Mark Briody always tells me how good they are. Very enjoyable.

Virgin Steele - Wings of Vengeance

3/10


Unheavy AOR metal. People who act like this is good probably also think that Bud Lite is a high quality beer made with the finest ingredients.

Cemetary - Scars

9/10

Excellent pick. One of my favorites by the band.

The Shadow Order - Strife For Revenge

1/10

I liked this about as much as I liked that Slayer track. There are so many better black metal songs that would be appropriate for this theme.

Aeternus - Sworn Revenge

10/10

<3

Diamond Head - Am I Evil?

10/10

Anyone who complains about this being too obvious or whatever should stop listening to metal.

Black Death - Retribution

9/10

The best song on the album. Like a heavier, more metallic UFO. Awesome vocals and lyrics too.
 
slayer - if this wasn't slayer it'd get loads more points. what's the hate. its fairly viscous, areya sounds like areya, the geetars do what they should. the in-crowd have decided to hate this so the sheep follow. cocks. short and sweet 6.5/10

razor - yeah great stuff, a band with too many great albums to fight over...well...this ain't as brilliant as evil invaders or violent restitution but its ace 8/10

guided cradle - typical old riffs with no real individuality. saying that, the production lends itself to a sound. not something i would purchase 6/10

kronos - l like the sound but the riffs are too stiff. 5/10

morlok von grimorog - sparse and entertaining. i'm too stoned to go on about this 8.5/10

rosenfeld - l guess lm too old for shiittier than fuck production, but thats where lm at. 2/10 boring boring unoriginal dregs

rigor mortis - not sure what their new stuff is like, but, they were undervalued back in the year etc. this rules 9/10

paradox - sounds pro..with killer riffs and those twin harmonies. kinda muddle up this band with the likes of vio-lence, and sacred reich sometimes. but that's cause i'm illiterate and drunk 9/10 it

glacier - old school almost perfection. they just never had a bruce. or a good name/logo. truth 7/10

zemial - people really like this and think its black metal 2/10

grand magus - yeah, shouty viking, bluesy, metal heavy stuff suits just fine thanks 8/10

virgin steele - whisper vocals instantly put me off, terrific typical 80's spirit and killer geetars . 8/10

cemetary - a band not so respected back then as they were a blatant copy of several others,. l probably feel the same now, 6/10

the shadow order - an anticipated change of tempo, but it goes to pointless bland, nothing 2/10

aeternus - blackened death. we all benefit from a good riff. maybe they just don't have enough. this is alright. l want them to be brutal. 7/10

diamond head - fantastic old classic, style and substance 8/10

black death - oh yeah man, these guys ruled and they never tasted success , like so many others...this old shit remains because of us 9/10
 
slayer - if this wasn't slayer it'd get loads more points. what's the hate. its fairly viscous, areya sounds like areya, the geetars do what they should. the in-crowd have decided to hate this so the sheep follow. cocks. short and sweet 6.5/10

Pretty much. In crowd hates everything after Reign in Blood
