Themed Mixtape Game

Metallica - The Call of Ktulu

7/10

Solid track, don't really get Lovecraft from it as much as I do slightly spooky horror.

Thergothon - Elemental

6/10

Moody, slow, and despite the production damn heavy. Good stuff, but not something I can listen to often.

Ironsword - Call of Cthulhu

8/10

If you don't like Ironsword, fuck off.

Catacomb - The Key

8/10

Never heard this band before, but really liked this. Pretty damned good.

Septic Flesh - Mystic Places of Dawn

7/10

Septic Flesh used to be really damn good, shame what happened. Solid track.

Therion - Cthulhu
9/10

One of the best tracks from what is easily the best Therion album. Fucking savage riffs.

Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales

9/10

Celtic Frost rules so much. Need to make an effort to listen more than I do.

Varathron - The Tressrising of Nyarlathotep

10/10

Probably my favorite Varathron track. Incredible split on both sides really.

Solstice - New Dark Age/The Sleeping Tyrant

8/10

Intro is about the only Lovecraftian thing about it, because yeah Greek mythology themed actual song, but fuck it too good a song to rate poorly. Should be 9, but off theme will make it an 8.

Soomdrag - Epitaph the Naster

5/10

Not the most offensive thing ever, but honestly just not interesting.

Black Sabbath - Behind the Wall of Sleep

8/10

Good shit, everything expected from Sabbath.

Mekong Delta - Prophecy

9/10

Never listen to this band or this album, been fucking ages since I last did but god this shit rules.

Root - The Old Ones

8/10

Good stuff, need to check out Root more honestly.

Entombed - Strangers Aeons

6/10

Mostly okay, but eh. Not a fan.

Hemotoxin - The Shadow Over Innsmouth

3/10

This is bad.

Innsmouth - Consumed by Elder Sign

8/10

Anyway, good job, @no country for old wainds!
 
okayyyyyyyyyyyyy.

the theme is.... EPONYMOUS SONGS!

in other words, songs named after the band who released them. i know 'eponymous' can mean other things too, which is why i'm clarifying - i won't accept a song just because it's named after the character it's about or w/e. i'm going to give an example of what i want, partly just to discourage people from picking something so retardedly fucking obvious: 'black sabbath' by black sabbath.

gogogo. fyi i'm likely to leave this open 'til the morning at least 'cause i doubt i'll be up much longer.
 
I think I can anticipate at least half the songs on this playlist and it's looking pretty great. I'm also fairly confident I didn't pick the winner but I don't care.

I don't think that they should just because it creates the issue of what's close enough and what isn't. It isn't my game though, but that's what I think could happen.
