Themed Mixtape Game

[Omni]

Jag Panzer - Iron Shadows

9/10

My favorite song on this EP.

Briton Rites - The Right Hand of Doom

7/10

Good attempt at a Black Sabbath style of doom.

Taramis - Path to Aquilonia

10/10

Australia's answer to Fates Warning.

Eternal Champion - The Last King of Pictdom

7/10

This song is pretty good. The mix is goofy.

Cauldron Born - By This Axe I Rule

7/10

Not one of my favorite Cauldron Born songs, but still pretty cool.

Dream Death - The Elder Race

10/10

My favorite song on an awesome album.

Watchtower - Cimmerian Shadows

8/10

A clinic on how to make technical metal that doesn't suck.

Crom - Earth Queen

9/10

Super cool obscure Finnish metal. I hooe that they reissue this and their demo.

Sinoath - Black River Acheron

6.5/10

This was actually pretty good.

Rosae Crucis - Bran Mak Morn

7/10

I was impressed. I've never heard of the band before.

The Gates of Slumber - Dark Valley Suite

5/10

Some good parts, but way longer than necessary.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Solid playlist......needs more ratings

 

[CiG]

Will do asap.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Why, pray tell, do I still only have three ratings? I need some from:
@Dazed and Brutal
@no country for old wainds
@Master_Yoda77
@Slayed Necros
@Mort Divine
@CASSETTEISGOD
@TechnicalBarbarity

Wait, scratch that last one.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Sorry I moved recently and have been busy. I will do it ASAP.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Unlikely that I'll get around to this, sorry.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'll try to do this one at the weekend

 

[EspaDa]

The penultimate one too.

 

[Baroque]

Haven’t been paying attention, what happened to those 2?

 

[EspaDa]

Haven’t been paying attention, what happened to those 2?

Both demanded their accounts be closed. TB rage quitted what's typical of him, whereas CIG allegedly has become disenchanted with the forum lately.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Well okay then

 

[Master_Yoda77]

LOL and he's the one that's always like "Taking things a little too seriously, bucko."

Jag Panzer - Iron Shadows - 9.5/10 - I actually prefer this over any other Jag. Preening USPM with a lot of charisma!

Briton Rites - The Right Hand of Doom - 6.5/10 - The riffs were solid, but the vocalist has that flat affect that puts me off a lot of modern DOOM outfits.

Taramis - Path to Aquilonia - 7.5/10 - This was pretty cool! I've only had a passing relationship with this band. I'm going to have to dig further into them.

Eternal Champion - The Last King of Pictdom - 8/10 - This demo is a perfect example of modern US metal with a puffed chest.

Cauldron Born - By This Axe I Rule - 7/10 - Solid stuff. This playlist is really filling that old god void in my recent rotation.

Dream Death - The Elder Race - 9.5/10 - This album has wiggled its way into pretty much every theme and I give it high remarks without fail. King of the midpace!

Watchtower - Cimmerian Shadows - 6/10 - I'm never too keen on tech thrash tbh. It seems very busy, but somehow still hollow.

Crom - Earth Queen - 8.5/10 - Nice dig! I love the crunchy tone and the hook is fucking transcendental.

Sinoath - Black River Acheron - 7.5/10 - Hahah those synths are almost at satirical levels of spot-on.

Rosae Crucis - Bran Mak Morn - 4/10 - A really jarring transition from the last track. Way too flamboyant for my tastes

The Gates of Slumber - Dark Valley Suite - 6/10 - A fitting tribute, but overstays its welcome. Not enough payoff to justify the playtime.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

No more ratings? What happens now? No more game?!

@no country for old wainds
@Master_Yoda77
@Slayed Necros
@Mort Divine

Confirmed homosexuals.

We have an unusual situation in that both the first and second place contestants did not vote, so they both forfeit the win to @RadicalThrasher. This was a rather disgraceful turnout, but I can't really talk since I neglected to vote on this last non-metal playlist. Let's just agree to put this behind us and have a fresh start.

1. Dream Death - The Elder Race - 9.875 @Mort Divine
2. Taramis - Path to Aquilonia - 9.125 @no country for old wainds
3. Crom - Earth Queen - 8.625 @RadicalThrasher
4. Watchtower - Cimmerian Shadows - 8.250 @TechnicalBarbarity
5. Jag Panzer - Iron Shadows - 7.625 @Dazed and Brutal
6. Sinoath - Black River Acheron - 7.250 @HamburgerBoy
7. Eternal Champion - The Last King of Pictdom - 6.500 @Master_Yoda77
8. Rosae Crucis - Bran Mak Morn - 6.250 @CASSETTEISGOD
9. The Gates of Slumber - Dark Valley Suite - 5.750 @Serjeant Grumbles
10. Briton Rites - The Right Hand of Doom - 5.125 @Omni
11. Cauldron Born - By This Axe I Rule - 4.750 @Slayed Necros

 

[no country for old wainds]

i deserve that

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Especially since I would have submitted that exact song after Omni reminded me. You fuck.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Yep never planned on winning.....

Some ideas

Dreams/nightmares - pretty self explanatory

Time - anything to do with time (specific dates, time travel, etc.)

True crimes - anything throughout history considered to be a vile deed by society and actually happened ( countess bathory, hitler, serial killers, etc.)


Thoughts, ideas, suggestions...whatever's going to get a decent amount of people to play
