My R12 nom:
Paul Allen And The Underthinkers - Six Strings From Hell

My favorite black metal bands tend to make tracks that are longer than 10 minutes. The genre doesn't do well, so I tend to avoid posting it in the game. I figured melodic death is the most accessible of the extreme genres, but it does poorly, also. The brick walled production doesn't do it any favors.

A black metal hi-nrg showtune about a dead horse on a ranch could be a winner though. If such a song exists that is.

This is a strong batch. How is my minute and a half long, retrogressive confection of a song going to stand a chance against these?

If you don't care for Voltaire's music, you should still check out his Gothic interior design tips:

This probably speaks to a lot of my problem with a lot of these kinds of songs. But I'm also an outlier in that, even though I love melody, I don't particularly like it in metal very much (with the rare exception for a band like Iron Maiden). I like my metal reduced to its purest most elemental form, almost pure white noise, which is why I greatly greatly prefer black or sometimes death metal.

1) Bob Dylan - Mama, You Been On My Mind
2) Joan Armatrading - I'm Lucky
3) Sandy Posey - Born a Woman
4) All Them Witches - Diamond
5) Dreamwell - Sayaka
6) Freddie King - Dust My Broom
7) George Strait - When Did You Stop Loving Me
8) Futureshock - Late at Night
9) Voyager - White Shadow
10) Sloppy Seconds - I Don't Wanna Be a Homosexual
11) Ultrabeat - Pretty Green Eyes

unfortunately that production is what makes black metal sound so pretty. underratedly beautiful genre.
