Metal Academy Radio Playlist Suggestions - The Sphere Edition
Here are my sneak peek submissions for the November Sphere playlist:
Deathstars - "Explode" (4:53) from The Perfect Cult (2014)
Godflesh - "Head Dirt" (6:09) from Streetcleaner (1989)
Ministry - "Golden Dawn" (5:42) from The Land of Rape and Honey (1988)
Nine Inch Nails - "Reptile" (6:52) from The Downward Spiral (1994) (Yes I know this album isn't metal, but someone on Discord recommended me a few songs (including this one) because of how metal they are, and this one really does sound metal enough for inclusion)
Northlane - "Clarity" (5:53) from Obsidian (2022)
Total length: 29:29
And since Daniel skipped out on his monthly Sphere playlist submission for November, I decided to add an optional bonus sneak peek submission. If anyone else is up to submitting their own track suggestion, I can remove my bonus and either put it in the November playlist anyway or a different month. So here's my bonus submission:
Celldweller - "Into the Void" (5:16) from Into the Void (2019)
Another song that my brother likes, and one that I submitted for one of last year's Sphere playlist (before joining that clan), but somehow it didn't make it in.
Here's my submission for the December playlist Andi:
Godflesh - "Anthem" (from "Hymns", 2001)
Although I like Saxy's idea of the clan playlists for December entirely compiling the best of 2022, I won't do the same for my clans because it would be quite restrictive in The Sphere, and I got a lot of good ideas for these playlists. So here are my usual sneak peek submissions, for the December Sphere playlist:
Dawn of Ashes - "Carnal Consummation in the Empty Space (To Mega Therion Mix)" (4:28) from Farewell to the Flesh (2012)
Gothminister - "Gothic Anthem" (3:48) from Gothic Electronic Anthems (2003)

Motionless in White - "Final Dictvm" (5:06) from Reincarnate (2014)
Psyclon Nine - "Crwn Thy Frnicatr" (4:33) from Crwn Thy Frnicatr (2006) (although this is from one of the band's earlier aggrotech albums, it really foreshadows the band's later industrial metal material, and it reminds me of a couple of Dawn of Ashes songs from my previous playlists)
Samael - "Rite of Renewal" (4:31) from Hegemony (2017)
Total length: 27:24
