@Carpe Mortem You're killing me by rating Darkthrone a 2 and Sacramentum a 5.
Different strokes for different folks, dawg. My tastes aren't in line with most of this forum, as Krow has keenly observed. But for the record I didn't get it in time for this round, just judging.

So far, this has been my favorite theme, but I kind of expected that. Here we go...
Darkthrone - Where the Winds Blow - 9/10
Classic Darkthrone. Great album and a great song.
Sort Vokter - Bak To Lysende Øyne - 4/10
Love the album title. I don't think I've ever actually listened to Sort Vokter. This isn't really inspiring me to do so. The production is way too muddled in fuzz. I feel like I could be into this if it had a different production quality.
Branikald - Rdjandalir 8/10
Opening reminds me of Primordial, whom I considered submitting. Digging the vocals. I kept waiting for some crushing black metal to come in. Need to check out more of their stuff.
Scald - Night Sky - 9/10
Rainfall. Here we go. This reminds me I need to listen to Will of Gods more. Love it.
Bloodbath - Outnumbering the Day - 5/10
I remember listening to Breeding Death back in High School and fucking loved it. Hadn't really heard anything with Tagtgren...sounds more melodeath-y than I'd like. Not bad though
Panphage - Storm - 8.5/10
This was a favorite of mine from last year. Good shit. Love the guitar tone and just dirtiness of the sound. Killer.
Hate Forest - Black Forest - 7/10
This was going to be my backup. Glad somebody else submitted it. Admittedly, it's not my favorite Hate Forest track, but still a good listen.
Alchemist - Part 1: The Bio Approach - 7.5/10
Back in high school when I thought I was all cool and shit listening to prog, Alchemist was pretty up there. The comment earlier comparing to Tool is rather apt
Ancestors - Mother Animal - 6.5/10
Solid stoner doom
Sacramentum - When Night Surrounds Me - 8/10
A good pickup after the previous track. I still remember somebody having "Sack of Menthol Far Away From Your Mum" in their sig
Atheist - Green - 4/10
Probably my least favorite Atheist album (although I haven't listened to the new album)
Dead Can Dance - The Arcane - 6/10
Love Dead Can Dance, but this isn't my favorite song of theirs
Arcturus - Icebound Streams and Vapours Grey - 7.5/10
Ah old school Arcturus. Look how young Garm sounds. I much prefer their early work to this new space pirate shit thing they have going on. La Masquerade Infernale and Sham Mirrors were my jam in high school
Drudkh - Forests in Fire and Gold - 10/10
Admittedly, I'm a big Drudkh fanboy. Their first two albums are two of my favorites. I prefer False Dawn off of Forgotten Legends, but this one is still great
Waldgeflüster - Herbst befiel das Land - 7.5/10
Never heard of 'em, but I dig 'em. Production could be a bit more kvlt
Demolition Hammer - Cataclysm - 8.5/10
Old school grooviness to send us on home. Aww yiss.
Darkthrone - Where the Winds Blow - 9/10
Classic Darkthrone. Great album and a great song.
Sort Vokter - Bak To Lysende Øyne - 4/10

Yea and Drudkh and few others where the albums and bands are mentioned but nothing of the song. It's not just you, quite a few other posters seem to be reviewing in the same manner. But whatevs.

fair enough re: atheist, but what about his drudkh review didn't come across as a review of the song?
unknown
fuck ftagn
I'd rate every song on Forgotten Legends 10/10, but again, I admitted it's one of my favorite albums. Regarding Atheist, I don't care for "Green" or Elements in general much. Unquestionable Presence and Piece of Time is tits for me.

Fuck, TechBarb is insufferably whingey, but I agree with him. Stick to metal or as close to metal as possible eg hard rock that sits right on the line.

my position is that if people wanna downrate non-metal that's their choice, if people wanna continue to submit non-metal knowing it's gonna get downrated that's also their choice. i plan on sticking to metal myself though.
Same. We need a non-metal version of this game too. I will start it soon, probably after this round is over.

Yeah make a non-metal one. The prospect of genre variety in relation to a cool theme is exciting.
I'd honestly have made it already if I could think of a good theme. If someone else wants to take the lead, be my guest.

Haha, that would be funny. I think that I would prefer it to be different though.
