Themed Mixtape Game

@The Ozzman you should really play a round. The game has slowed and the "in crowd" isn't as prevalent. I remember you were concerned your picks would be trashed but outliers votes change the face of the game.

Warning - Footprints 10/10
The problem with starting a playlist off with a song from this album is that now I just want the rest of this playlist to be said album. Perfect.

Fueled by Fire - Forsaken Deity 6/10

A song about man's dependence on faith in religion or something akin to religion. I assume there will be a few of these takes on the theme in the round. Musically not anything that resonates with me, but it's halfway decent.

Rigor Mortis - Speedwhore 6/10

Drugs are bad, m'kay.

Dark Angel - Pain's Invention, Madness 5/10

Definitely not a favourite album of mine. This is not the Dark Angel I love.

Cannibal Corpse - Addicted to Vaginal Skin 4/10

I knew someone would submit this, so fucking cliche. The music sounds so dated and cheesy too, I remember this being better.

Dødheimsgard - The Snuff Dreams Are Made Of 6.5/10

I was going to submit something by Dødheimsgard myself, glad I didn't because this is a decent choice. Weird shit.

Impaled Nazarene - The Horny and the Horned 7/10

Utter fucking musical mastery, except that the theme doesn't quite come through strong enough for my comfort. I assume it's supposed to demonstrate dependence on faith in Satan? Sorry, I don't quite see it.

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger 7.5/10

Vampirism at it's finest. Soul... Cold.

Johnny Touch - Black Company 7.5/10

Dependence upon a human sacrifice for immortality? Vampirism? I guess I'll bite.
I love this band.

Grave - Obsessed 7/10

Haven't heard this in ages. More along the lines of dependence on a religious faith.

Loudness - Clockwork Toy 5/10

Reading the lyrics multiple times I can't quite seem to figure out how it's thematic, other people's dependency on routine and social norms and the singer is rebelling against that? I understand they're not native speakers of the English language, but still a little confused.

Kreator - Mental Slavery 7/10

I could almost imagine this as a song specifically about society's dependency on an overbearing nanny state government. Cool.

Acid Bath - Tranquilized 6.5/10

It's been ages, I don't like it as much as I remember back when I listened to a lot of sludge. Never was a huge fan of Dax's clean vocals anyway. But I wouldn't trust many other bands to nail the drug crutch theme as good as these guys did.

Saint Vitus - Dependence 7.5/10

Talk about specific. Great tune as usual. Hail Vitus.
