Don't worry, I'm going to nuke it for being shoe horned in because so many people here sooner over the band.

Warning - Footprints - 8/10
Not giving it a perfect score, but it is a super good song
Fueled by Fire - Forsaken Deity - 7/10
Vocals surprised me. I'm sure they will grow on me. First taste of this band and I was surprised.
Rigor Mortis - Speedwhore - 7/10
First taste of this band I hear so much about. Surprised that this is song is speed metalish. Gives off a punk vibe as well
Dark Angel - Pain's Invention, Madness - 4/10
I don't like this era of Dark Angel
Cannibal Corpse - Addicted to Vaginal Skin - 8/10
Classic Corpse
Dødheimsgard - The Snuff Dreams Are Made Of - 3/10
The fuck? Why do the drums sound like a helicopter?
Impaled Nazarene - The Horny and the Horned - 6/10
I'm sure there's better stuff from this band out there. First time I've checked them out
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger - 7/10
Johnny Touch - Black Company - 6/10
Ruins the flow of the last few songs. Is this band part of the NWOBHM?
This song got better as it went on
Grave - Obsessed - 8/10
Need more from this band
Loudness - Clockwork Toy - 6/10
First for this band too
Kreator - Mental Slavery - 7/10
This is off my favorite Kreator album. Not one of the super good cuts, but decent.
Acid Bath - Tranquilized - 8/10
One of the best tracks of that particular album
Saint Vitus - Dependence - 6/10
ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz for a while but not bad overall

Doesn't seem like a shoe horn to me, fits the theme quite well actually.
Nah man, they're a new Australian band.

Warning is perfect for the theme.

Warning – Footprints
Didn’t like Warning the last time I heard them (prolly a decade ago), liked this song a lot now. Enjoy your victory, in-crowd. 8/10.
Fueled by Fire - Forsaken Deity
Good but not great, their songwriting abilities have definitely improved over the years. 6/10.
Rigor Mortis – Speedwhore
Average, like most Rigor Mortis. Don’t understand the hype. 4/10.
Dark Angel - Pain's Invention, Madness
I hated this album for years, like I thought it was one of the worst things ever recorded, but it’s grown on me in a huge way. Even though the 246 riffs and all that aren’t individually always the most interesting, how relentless they are in just dropping them one after the next until it becomes a giant blur over the DSM-IV equivalent to medical textbook goregrind lyrics is super-effective. Even Rinehart’s awkward, whiny performance sounds so fitting. 8/10.
Cannibal Corpse - Addicted to Vaginal Skin
Decent, very thrashy and derivative but still a few good riffs, although mostly towards the beginning. Abrupt ending, felt too short and too long simultaneously, pretty boring actually. 4/10.
Dødheimsgard - The Snuff Dreams Are Made Of
Lol, a song about chewing tobacco? I like the slower part three minutes in, reminds me of Minas Tirith (a much better Norwegian band). I’ll give it a 7/10 just for that part.
Impaled Nazarene - The Horny and the Horned
Super bland riffs, thankfully it at least has aggression. 4/10.
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
This one feels shoehorned to me, vampires may have certain dependences but this song doesn’t really make it about that. Classic song but I’d like to know specifically how it fits. 4/10.
Johnny Touch - Black Company
Holy FUCK that is some great riffing at the start. Like damn I didn’t know new bands could right riffs like that. Of course after one album they’ve already stopped per Metallum, it always seems to work out this way. Whole song was awesome, definitely checking this album out. Unfortunately, doesn’t seem thematic to me, dependence should be on-going, not a single sacrifice for eternal life or whatever this is about. 7/10.
Grave – Obsessed
Chug chug chug chug. Not bad, but I’m increasingly becoming sick of OSSDM. 4/10.
Loudness - Clockwork Toy
Not a big Loudness fan. Pretty bland Priest-y song with poor vocal lines. Not thematic either, seems to be about resisting control, not dependence. 3/10.
Kreator - Mental Slavery
One of the better songs on the album, for as little as that is worth. Nice sound, but too long and basic. 4/10.
Acid Bath – Tranquilized
Great stuff. 7/10.
Saint Vitus – Dependence
Album put me to sleep the first time I heard it, not much better now. 3/10.

The Veils of Negative Existence
Whoever's submission gets the highest ratings chooses the theme for the next round and then people submit songs to that user and then a playlist is created and the rest of us rate the song based on how thematic it is (ie lyrics mostly but abstract or subjective interpretations are also permissible) and so on and so forth.

Yes, yes it is. I therefore am the best human the cosmos have ever come up with.
And will attempt to not be full of shit and start rating/ playing again. Fresh blood will be a nice change.

Warning - Footprints
Easiest 10/10 of the entire game.
10/10
Fueled By Fire - Forsaken Deity
5/10
Rigor Mortis - Speed Whore
I immediately love the sound of this so much more than that of the previous song. Surprised at the lukewarm ratings this is getting, this is great stuff. +5 points for the solid minute of silence at the end.
8/10
Dark Angel - Pain's Invention, Madness
A bit meandering but they brought it home in style with a great ending.
7/10
Cannibal Corpse - Addicted to Vaginal Skin
3/10
Dødheimsgard - The Snuff Dreams Are Made Of
Great fucked up song from a great fucked up album.
8/10
Impaled Nazarene - The Horny and the Horned
Ugly fucking finnish BM. Love this sound, love how that snare puncutates the verses so clear sounding against the wall of noise like a bell, love that melancholic 'breakdown' or what you'd call it, and the scream that follows. Love the whole song.
9/10
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Probably says a lot about my BM preferences that I far prefer the above song to this.
6/10
Johnny Touch - Black Company
This is really excellent throwback stuff that borrows from all the right sources. Disappointed this wasn't about Glen Cook's Black Company, but if it was it probably wouldn't have been thematic.
8/10
Grave - Obsessed
This is just not my kind of death metal. Too chuggy, guttural, unmelodic, etc. I'm probably not being fair to this song but this just ain't my thing. Marginally more interesting than the Cannibal Corpse.
4/10
Loudness - Clockwork Toy
5/10
Kreator - Mental Slavery
5/10
Acid Bath - Tranquilized
Too grungey and stonery for me.
3/10
Saint Vitus - Dependence
Well, you're not getting any points for creativity. Warning brought their a-game for this theme, where's yours at Vitus? (Hint: White Stallions)

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Warning - Footprints 10/10
This song is seriously one of my favorites. Beautiful. His voice reminds me of Ozzy. I've never read through the lyrics until now. At least I won't be mumbling through this track anymore.
Fueled by Fire - Forsaken Deity 5/10
I don't like these vocals much and the music is a bit generic.
Rigor Mortis - Speed Whore 7/10
Ahh, I like that beginning riff a lot. A nice change from the song before. Fun track. Speed whore, you make me sick.
Dark Angel - Pain's Invention, Madness 5/10
I feel like my non-metal friends would like this. The vocals reminds me of Metallica a bit. It's meh so far. I'll continue listening though. I kinda wish they didn't rely so much on the vocals. His voice isn't terrible but there's so funny parts especially when he says "set me free." Eh, this is just not really my sort of thing.
Cannibal Corpse - Addicted to Vaginal Skin 5/10
Lol. Cannibal Corpse had to make it onto this playlist. Admittedly i dont listen to cannibal corpse much anymore unless at a party or something. Right now, i'm in my bed and not partying, however.
Dodheimsgard - The Snuff Dreams Are Made Of 9/10
Ahh, I get it... it's like a computer virus that can't live without a computer? This is awesome!
Impaled Nazarene - The Horny and the Horned 8/10
I love this band. Shit, I need to play them more. Awesome song. I'm not sure if this is on theme, but whatever.
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger 7/10
I feel weird listening to this while eating a mango.
I love this band and album, though. I really love the drums and that lead riff.
Johnny Touch - Black Company - 8/10
I love the possessed growls throughout while "they are making their sacrifice." I really love the songwriting and storytelling throughout this entire track. Awesome buildup. I also like that last riff towards the end (6:50). I could listen to that on repeat for hours.
Grave - Obsessed 5/10
I'm surprised actually not many people went the "obsessed" route with interpreting dependence. I didn't think of it either. This is alright. I don't have much to say about it.
Loudness - Clockwork Toy 5/10
This isn't bad. I have no idea what this is about though.
Kreator - Mental Slavery 6/10
I liked this. My weakness in metal is typically "classics" like these guys. I should pick up a Kreator cd one day.
Acid Bath - Tranquilized 8/10
Shit. This band has tons of nostalgia for me. Actually, one of my first introductions to this sorta sound was in high school with bands like Kyuss. This came soon after and yeah I'll just have to throw this on sometime soon again. When southern dudes could carry a note, they have a nice color/sound to their voice.
Saint Vitus - Dependence 8/10
Of course. I love this. Vitus always hits me right in the feels.
