Themed Mixtape Game

[CiG]

All those sabbathian riffs.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Ava Inferi - The Living End
the way the female vocals blend against the music is really satisfying except for that one note she intentionally keeps not quite hitting urrggghhhh that's so irritating, there's singing in the cracks and then there's just sounding out of tune. male vocals are terrible, production is CGId to all hell and yeah it's all very heavy-handed teen goth girl nonsense, but there's at least a consistent mood to it and some superficial pleasures. 4/10

Whether you like them or not, Ava Inferi are/were not "teen goth girl nonsense." That designation would be more aptly applied to Within Temptation, post-An Elixir for Existence Sirenia, and other false shit. However, this song doesn't really encapsulate their overall metalness.

Type O Negative - Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity
Didn't realize Type O Negative was basically Carnivore. Although I liked most of the previously submitted Carnivore songs I thought this was boring and stupid and overlong and full of jarring un-transitions.
2/10

Their first album certainly does retain a lot more of their earlier crossover thrash sound from their Carnivore days.

Type O Negatives - Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity 6/10

I'm really just not into Peter Steele's musical output. Thankfully, this is from the best Type O Negative album. Unfortunately, I think this isn't a good interpretation of the theme in comparison with other songs by them.

Titan Force - Lord of Desire 8/10

Titan Force rules, but I agree with the others that this song is a bit static. I like the quick ending though. Harry Conklin rules.

Ava Inferi - The Living End 4/10

This is lame.

Savatage - Out on the Streets 6.5/10

Not bad.

Slauter Xstroyes - No Idea 9/10

I hope that @HamburgerBoy didn't submit this because I think that it could win and I don't want to deal with his theme selection and management of the game. No offense.

Slayer - Necrophiliac 9/10

This is a good spin on the theme. I gave points for making me laugh at the idea of its inclusion and because the song is awesome.

Gehennah - We Love Alcohol 7/10

We've already had a Gehennah song about alcohol or I would have rated this higher.

Secrecy - A New Beginning 6/10

This was decent enough.

Converge - Heaven in her Arms 4/10

Thanks for the angst.

Amon Goeth - In Love with Satan 10/10

I love Amon Goeth and I don't think there is another song about this type of love out there. Based on that, I have no choice but to rate 10/10.

Motörhead - Love Me Like a Reptile 6/10

This isn't one of their best songs. I think that they had other songs that fit the theme that are better than this one.

Danzig - Girl 5/10

I've always preferred The Misfits and Samhain.

Miasma - Love Song (To a Lost Girl) 10/10

This is it. This is the song that made me want someone to use this theme in the metal mixtape game. Miasma rules and I am proud to own their album and EP on CD.

Night Conquers Day - Banished from My Eyes 7.5/10

An underrated USBM act with King Diamond influences.

Thin Lizzy - Wild One 8/10

Thin Lizzy rules. This song is awesome.



Sorry for spending more time writing about certain songs than others. I'm at work.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

My theme is going to be much better than your themes tbh.

My theme is going to be much better than your themes tbh.

The potential quality of your theme is not at all a part of my (mostly joking) desire to not have you win, although it's nice to know that you care enough to take a competitive stance. You probably have some decent ideas.

 

[no country for old wainds]

hbb's theme will probably be cucking or something

 

[Master_Yoda77]

"getting your penis touched through your pants by your friend you didn't know was homo and then not doing anything about it"

or maybe

"kissless virgins"

 

[Omni]

It will probably actually be "metal that isn't in-crowd" if you want to be realistic. He would probably pick a theme that has enough songs for a playlist.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I'd like to do a theme for each half of operant conditioning (a punishment theme and a reinforcement theme). Punishment first.

Type O Negative - Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity 5/10

I ended up kinda liking this more than I expected, but it just doesn't warrant its 12 minute length imo. The moan and groans were hilarious.

Titan Force - Lord of Desire 8.5/10

This rules and Cronklin's vocals are amazing.

Ava Inferi - The Living End 5.5/10

This was weird, at times it really annoyed me but other times I found it to be decent. Interesting pick, though.

Savatage - Out on the Streets 6.5/10

Bit cheesy but enjoyable nonetheless.

Slauter Xstroyes - No Idea 8.5/10

This is a much better ballad than the previous song and comes across as far more sincere. Love pretty much everything about this.

Slayer - Necrophiliac 10/10
It's a song off fucking Hell Awaits, I can't not give this a 10. I've never heard a thrash album as atmospheric as this one. It's just so hellish and violent, probably Araya's best vocal performance too.

Gehennah - We Love Alcohol 7/10

Fun as fuck.

Secrecy - A New Beginning 9/10

Never heard this before but this was amazing. Rifftastic with some nice vocals. Will definitely be looking more into this band.

Converge - Heaven in Her Arms 2.5/10

I was looking forward to this because I've never heard anything by this band but have seen them praised in various places. Well fuck that, this is offensive to my senses, especially these vocals. It literally gave me a headache. I can almost sympathies with people who think a lot of extreme music is just noise after experiencing this shitfest.

Amon Goeth - In Love with Satan 8/10

I agree that this is a bit too long, but it's still awesome. Love the mid-paced riffing.

Motörhead - Love Me Like a Reptile 7.5/10

Not one of the best Motorhead songs I've heard, but still pretty good.

Danzig - Girl 4/10

Kinda boring.

Miasma - Love Song (To a Lost Little Girl) 9/10

This rules. I don't quite like it as much as the best songs from Changes, but it's still great and the lyrics are amazing.

Night Conquers Day - Banished from My Eyes 9/10

I'm a big fan of both full lengths released by this underrated band.

Thin Lizzy - Wild One 8/10

I sometimes forget what a good band this is until I stumble across songs of theirs.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I literally don't even know what HBB is saying these days.

 

[arg]

so im gonna pimp out the compositional mixtape thread <-----submit a song to the first (of many) arg victory!

 

[CiG]

Arg is Conan.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Fanny-pack metal?

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

Type O Negative - Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity
1/10 if "formulate a change of discern" was converted into music i'd imagine this is what it sounds like

Titan Force - Lord of Desire
7/10 singer sounds like the guy from Nevermore

Ava Inferi - The Living End
2/10 i suppose this would be tolerable if you had some goth cutter girlfriend that played this shit once in awhile

Savatage - Out on the Streets
5/10 christmas metal guy. this is pretty lame but listenable

Slauter Xstroyes - No Idea
7.5/10 cool song

Slayer - Necrophiliac
9/10 classic Slayer

Gehennah - We Love Alcohol
6/10 alcohol metal gets old after like 10 minutes

Secrecy - A New Beginning
8/10 fuck, this is pretty heavy for prog metal

Converge - Heaven in Her Arms
3/10 sounds like watered down Slaughter of the Soul to me. the song seems a lot longer than 4 minutes. lol at this youtube comment "i try to read the lyrics alongside the song, and all i hear is a bird screeching "bawk bawk bawwkk" over and over"

Amon Goeth - In Love with Satan
5/10 i'm going to starbucks this weekend and i'll ask the patrons their opinion of Amon Goeth. i'll let you guys know how it goes. intro is way too long and not much happens once the mehtul starts

Motörhead - Love Me Like a Reptile
6/10 this is okay but i can't see myself wanting to listen to this on my own time

Danzig - Girl
5.5/10 better than i expected tbh

Miasma - Love Song (To a Lost Little Girl)
8/10 Changes is textbook GMD in-crowd metal but i'm pretty sure no one gave a shit about this EP. i haven't listened to this in years, but Changes is a top 10-15 death metal album for me. this song is more experimental than anything on the album.

Night Conquers Day - Banished from My Eyes
6.5/10 never heard this before. shitty atmosynths, echoey vokills and rough transitions throughout the song. not sure if this is a good representation of the band or not but this is something i'd look into

Thin Lizzy - Wild One
7/10 cool song. not metal though

 

[no country for old wainds]

Miasma - Love Song (To a Lost Little Girl)
8/10 Changes is textbook GMD in-crowd metal

back when you started posting here this was true, but i don't think it is anymore. i've honestly barely seen it mentioned this past few years.

titan force singer is the guy from jag panzer & satan's host btw

Night Conquers Day - Banished from My Eyes

You might like their second and final album more. It still features light use of synths, not sure if that's a deal breaker for you.

back when you started posting here this was true, but i don't think it is anymore. i've honestly barely seen it mentioned this past few years.

I mentioned it not long ago in the "Albums Kicking Your Ass" thread. It's supposed to be being reissued soon. Maybe it will see a resurgence then.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i fucking love synths.

 

[CiG]

Gehennah - We Love Alcohol
6/10 alcohol metal gets old after like 10 minutes

Did you listen to it twice or something?

 

[arg]

i'll review late saturday or sunday
