Playlists

Over the past couple of weeks, I asked friends and followers to send me the metal songs that do the thing — whether it’s the lyrics, the tension-building instrumentation, or that moment when the entire track finally hits. Once the suggestions rolled in, I compiled them into a list and asked people to rank them from the most effective — down to the ones that might sit a little lower on their playlists. Let’s just say the results were interesting.
