8 Track Themes "Death and Glory" (Horde with symphonic, Fallen, Guardians, and Infinite Flavors)

Zach's "Evil Basement Rock" 8 Track Themes thread inspired me to start one crossing through different clans while staying firmly in one. This theme is "Death and Glory", and the idea is to explore Horde tracks with an epic battle-ready vibe, good to listen to while playing combat video games. The genres in this theme are symphonic death metal and melodic death metal mixed with other genres like gothic metal, power metal, and progressive metal.

1. Ex Deo - "The Roman"

2. Before the Dawn - "Last Song"

3. Ryujin - "Dragon, Fly Free"

4. Becoming the Archetype - "The Balance of Eternity (The Physics of Fire Pt. 4)"

5. Fleshgod Apocalypse - "Morphine Waltz"

6. Trail of Tears - "Bloodstained Endurance"

7. Wintersun - "Battle Against Time"

8. Into Eternity - "Dead or Dreaming"

You know the drill... Replace, reorder, add, drop, discuss! All in the same theme for a good jamming time.

I'm gonna sacrifice the Becoming the Archetype track & will replace it with Skyfire's "Dimensions Unseen" from their 2001 "Timeless Departure" debut album which has a bit of a power metal feel to a lot of the material.

1. Ex Deo - "The Roman"

2. Before the Dawn - "Last Song"

3. Ryujin - "Dragon, Fly Free"

4. Skyfire - "Dimensions Unseen"

5. Fleshgod Apocalypse - "Morphine Waltz"

6. Trail of Tears - "Bloodstained Endurance"

7. Wintersun - "Battle Against Time"

8. Into Eternity - "Dead or Dreaming"

Fantastic choice, Daniel! The power metal-ish melodeath of Skyfire is a grand treat for any fan of Children of Bodom, Norther, and early Eternal Tears of Sorrow.
