Oh man, so I'm not crazy! I'm glad you liked it. I have two of their albums that I got as a gift, but I haven't moved on to the other one I got because Night of the Long Knives is so good and I'm still absorbing it.

Sorry to break it to you man but you're officially a nice guy! :thumb:

thanks man....i'm having a real hard time finding something nice to say about a track on the protest mix....every time i try to listen to the track all i can think of is caving the artist's fucking head in with a bat

as for death....my problem is the polar opposite....so i kind of did what rostasi did although not nearly as intelligent....i used Rez's random noun generator and got "pleasure"....chose my song immediately :)

Is it "Pleasure to Kill" by Kreator?

Just made a submission!

Submitted. I'll try and post some responses to the previous mixes later as well.

Listened to it twice today so here's my view:

1. Mondo Bungle: NoMeansNo - Dead Bob
Quite an interesting track to start off the mixtape. Some nice off-kilter hardcore punk with it's tongue placed firmly in cheek.

2. rostasi: The Soil and The Sun - There Is No Death
I loved this one. A very mellow and beautiful song that's quite comforting to listen to. Might investigate further.

3. Trollheart: Nick Cave - O'malley's Bar
When I saw that it was 14 minutes long I thought it was going to drag and drag, but I really enjoyed this. It's more like a dark story turned into a song and keeps you glued as it unfolds.

4. Deviouz: Kno - La Petite Mort (Come Die With Me)
I'm not much of a hip-hop head but this was another one I enjoyed. There's a nice laid-back feel to this song with an interesting backing track.

5. Arya Stark: Misfits - Die, Die My Darling
I'm already very familiar with the Misfits so I know this song very well. Wouldn't be my favourite Misfits song but you could nearly put any of their songs into this mix.

6. Rezdaddy Longlegs: Steel Panther - Death To All But Metal
A gloriously dumb slice of 80's-inspired parody metal. Wouldn't be something I'd listen to more than a handful of times of but the lyrics made me chuckle.

7. Frownland: Diamond Terrifier - Kill The Self That Wants To Kill Yourself
I liked the atmosphere and sense of melancholy on this track. It's a very experimental and out there track with some wild sax (at least I think it's a saxophone) adding a sense of pain to it.

8. bob.: Depeche Mode - Flies On The Windscreen
This song reminded me that I really need to explore their back catalog a lot more. It's as good as you'd expect from 80's Depeche Mode.

9. gunnels: Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
This was the highlight of the mixtape for me. I've been meaning to get into Porcupine Tree for so long but this song has finally inspired me to do so. An amazing and powerful song.

10. Zer0: In The Woods... - Mourning The Death Of Aase
I took a bit of a risk with this track as it's more of a mood piece than a proper song and might not work depending what song it followed. But it sounded perfect following the Porcupine Tree song. I think it sums of the feeling of sorrow and sadness associated with death very nicely.

11. Plankton: Sevendust - Angels Son
Not bad but not something I'd really be into. It's heartfelt and well-performed but strays a little too much into American radio-rock territory for my liking.

12. misspoptart: The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home
Another song I'm familiar with. This song was the PERFECT song to finish this mixtape. An incredibly beautiful and moving song that you can find some kind of comfort in.
