Cyberya - Ministry of T.E.C.H. – extremely cheesy but has such a pleasant disposition about it that I can’t dislike it for that, unusual enough that I’m curious about checking this album out, 7.5/10
Nuclear Assault – Technology – not a fan of this album last I checked but this was decent, frantic energy at least, 6/10
Amaranthe - Mechanical Illusion – lmao, 3/10
Carnivore – Technophobia – although a part of me would like to downrate this for their persistence in these playlists, Carnivore’s lyrics always strike their respective theme dead-center, helps that it’s a good song, 7.5/10
Obliveon – Droidomized – sci-fi tech-thrash greatness, 9/10
Voivod - Killing Technology – see above, 9/10
Vektor - Ultimate Artificer – could compete with their influences if they didn’t pigeonhole their sound, some trivial variation on that riff at 0:30 is used in probably half their songs and they frequently segregate their spacy dangly chord bits from the basic thrash riffing bits because they lack clear vision, 5/10
Destruction - Second to None – bland riffs, hilarious lyrics, embarrassing delivery, 0/10
Scanner - Grapes of Fear – love the continuous building tension, could use better drumming though, 7/10
Queensryche - NM 156 – the first of a good number of Queensryche songs that brilliantly and effortlessly blend metal technique and cinematic vision, nothing here is less than excellent but the leads are particularly distinguished, 10/10
Judas Priest - The Hellion/Electric Eye – obvious classic but whatevs, 10/10
Slough Feg - Professor's Theme – the neoclassical stuff here is better than most metal bands that dedicate themselves to it, 9.5/10
Agent Steel - Children of the Sun – Cyriis is undoubtedly one of the most overrated singers in 80s metal, Kai-Hansen-bootleg-Chinese-squeaky-toy-sounding schizo fucker, anyone could sing this better, the drummer is incompetent as well, the song itself appeals to me slightly more than others from the album in that it has that lofty Transylvania/Genghis Khan thing going for it in the verses though only a tenth as good, 3/10

Buncha math wimps itt. I'm not surprised the two of you can't figure out basic division and rounding
I'll break it down for all the plebs here who don't understand pre high school math
3.14/10 rounds down to 3/10
Round up. 9/10
sqrt(2)/10 = 1.414214/10 rounds down to 1/10
3 squared is 9 so 9/10
20/20 = 10/10
1989/2000 = .9945 which is roughly 9.9/10 so 10/10
9.999999... = 10, so 10/10
Destruction - Second to None
/19 where
1/19 is about 0.05 so 0/10
Probably 8.5/10??
0/10
82/100 = 8.2/10 which rounds to 8/10
Coulple eggs, so 10/12 which is 5/6 = .83333 which rounds to 8/10
Golden ratio (roughly 1.6) out of 5 is roughly .32 so 3.2/10 which is roughly 3/10
Basic math, y'all (roughly)

I really don’t think anyone needed you to post that.
What we do need is a mercy killing for this round.

Tony Iommi still has ten fingers. He lost the flesh on his fingertips down to the bone, and didn't lose any fingers.

Considering the initial criticism of my submission for this round, I'm a bit surprised I won (even though it was only because the "real" winner didn't vote). I'm aware that my pick was obvious, but it's a great song. By the way, my back-up pick was Watchtower's "Technology Inaction". I wonder how that one would have fared, but I assume it would have been less popular.
Do we have a list somewhere with all the subjects which have already been done? The one in the initial post stops in the middle of 2016 and I don't want to have to go the entire topic. Did we already have Catastrophes (of any kind, thus caused by nature as well as man-made)?
Since I'm not registered on youtube (which seems to be required to put together a playlist there), would anyone be willing to put the playlist together? (I could forward the submissions to the person in question once the list is full.) Otherwise I would have to insert the link to each song separately.

Since I'm not sure there are many songs about man-made desasters (maybe there are) and since it's perhaps too similar to natural desasters, what about Surrealism? By this I mean lyrics describing surrealistic scenes, situations, yet not "ordinary" fantasy-, science fiction-stuff or mythology. Could also be a bit tricky, but I'd give it a try.
I've got 4 submissions so far. Is anyone else planning to submit a song? If so, I don't mind waiting until the end of next week (or even longer, if necessary). Otherwise, I might have to find a new theme, unless those who have already submitted a song wouldn't mind playing this game with a rather short list.
