Metal Academy Radio Playlist Suggestions - The Fallen Edition
I haven't listened to much in the way of genuine The Fallen releases over the past month Sonny but I think that all of these tracks fit the criteria anyway. Feel free to reject any (or all of them) if you disagree.
Orphaned Land – “My Requiem” (from “Sahara”, 1994)
Impaled Nazarene – “Quasb/The Burning” (from “Suomi Finland perkele”, 1994)
Hypocrisy – “Apocalypse” (from “The Fourth Dimension”, 1994)
For Feb please Sonny:
Paradise Lost - "No Forgiveness" (from "Shades of God", 1992)
Woods of Ypres - "Shards of Love" (from "Woods 4: The Green Album", 2009)
Slimelord - "The Hissing Moor" (from "Chytridiomycosis Relinquished", 2024)
Thanks guys. No problems with those noms, Daniel, they should fit in just fine.
With Daniel stepping back from aspects of the site and Ben no longer having time to compile the playlist for the North, rather than do away with them I have volunteered to take on responsibility for compiling and updating the playlists for the North and Horde, as well as continuing with the Fallen.
I wouldn't be able to produce three playlists every month, so I am proposing to change the frequency to every other month. I should be able to get new ones out on 1st February due to work already done on them, but following that, new playlists would be released on the 1st of April, June, August, October and December.
I would still like any sugfestions to be submitted by the 15th of the month following a new playlist being released, so by the 15th of February for inclusion on April's playlist.
I know it is a significant change to the scheduling, but necessary I believe in order to keep the concept alive. Let me know either here or via PM if this is a problem, or if you have any other comments regarding the changes.
OK, so after some further consideration I have decided to follow Vinny's lead with the Pit and move to issuing a new playlist every three months, thus allowing me to produce one a month, rather than trying to cram more in than I may be able to handle. I intend to stagger the three playlists for the clans I am responsible for, so here are the main points and schedules:
1. I will release new playlists for all three clans, The Fallen, The Horde and The North on 1st February
2. The next new playlist for the Fallen will be released on 1st May and I would like any suggestions for this playlist in by 15th April please.
3. So the release schedule for the Fallen for the rest of 2025 will be:
1st May 2025 with suggestions in by 15th April
1st August with suggestions in by 15th July
1st November with suggestions in by 15th October
Let us see how this pans out and then take it from there. Sorry for the change of mind, but I think this is for the best.
Vinny, as it is just me and you now suggesting tracks for the Fallen playlist you may now submit up to 50 minutes worth (I will reserve some time for less popular sub-genres that you and I don't cover with our submissions).
Submissions by 15th April for May's playlist please.

I hear ya big man
For May 25 please Sonny:
Onirophagus - "Landsickness" (from "Revelations from the Void", 2025)
Kowloon Walled City - "Sleep Debt" (from "Gambling on the Richter Scale", 2009)
Black Bile - "L'Oratoire" (from "L'Oratoire", 2023)
Pentagram - "Walk The Sociopath" (from "Lightning in a Bottle", 2025)
Year of the Cobra - "Full Sails" (from "Year of the Cobra", 2025)
Morast - "On Pyre" (from "Fentanyl", 2025)
Cradle of Filth - "When Misery Was A Stranger" (from "The Screaming of the Valkyries", 2025)
16 - "Blood Atonement Blues" (from "Guides for the Misguided", 2025)
Thanks Vinny, I can crack on with this one now.
If you two don't mind, I can help with a couple of suggestions for the Fallen playlist. I'll only provide one suggestion for May, but if you have room for a couple of out-of-clan requests, let me know.
Anyways, here's my suggestion for the May playlist Sonny:
Deathwhite - Earthtomb (2022)
I had already completed the May playlist, but I will have a look at juggling it to make room for your suggestion Saxy.
I have found myself really missing messing around with The Fallen playlist on a regular basis, so I am going back to compiling it monthly, starting with July. As main co-contributor, Vinny, if you want to post any suggestions before the end of the weekend then that is cool. Any non-clan members may make one suggestion each, again before the end of the weekend. David, if you want to contribute with any suggestions as a clan member let me know and I will spell out the deal.
So, going forward I will be compiling two playlists a month with the Fallen playlist being issued every month and the Horde and North playlists alternating. July is the turn of the North, so The Horde will be August, the North September and so on.
Thanks folks...

I'm interested. Let me know what the rules are for submissions either here or by PM. Is there a song length limit for instance? In the meantime, I'll have a look through the past playlist tracklistings.

Nice one David. Currently the only clan members submitting suggestions are myself and Vinny and we have been limited to 50 minutes total each. If you wish to become a regular contributor, as a clan member I would then change these limits to 30 minutes each, allowing non-clan members to submit one each (Saxy and Andi have been the only ones contributing from outside the Fallen). Within the 30 minutes you can submit songs of any length, so one 30 minute song, two 15 minute songs or whatever up to the 30 minute maximum total. I will use any spare minutes within the two hours to attempt to include tracks from sub-genres that may have been ignored. As far as repeating previous picks goes, if it hasn't appeared for over a year then I am inclined to include it. Suggestions should usually be in by the 15th of the month, so for August's playlist suggestions should be posted by 15th July. If you want to suggest some picks for the July playlist then post them here before Sunday night.
Likewise, if you wish to become a regular contributor to the Horde and / or the North then let me know either via PM or on the respective clan playlist suggestions threads and I will adjust the timing requirements as required.
How about these 3, if they don't fit let me know. Just over 25 minutes, I picked the shortest of the wolvserpent songs from the album.
Saint Vitus – Trail of Pestilence from Die Healing (1995)
Wolvserpent - Within the Light of Fire from Perigaea Antahkarana (2013)
5ive – Gulls from Hesperus (2008)

Thanks Sonny, I can offer:
Rothadás - "Vértükör" (from "Töviskert... a kísértés örök érzete... Lidércharang", 2025)
Daevar - "Mirrors" (from "Sub Rosa", 2025)
Secret Cutter - "Spleen" (from "III ", 2025)
Mares of Thrace - "The Fifth Stage: Depression" (from "The Loss", 2025)
Thanks fellas.
Hi guys, can I have suggestions for August's playlist in by the 15th. Time allocation is now up to a maximum of 35 minutes for each participating clan member (Vinny, David).
Here's my suggestions in case I forget by August.
Black Shape of Nexus – “IV” (from "Black Shape of Nexus", 2012)
Nadja – “The” (from “Guilted by the Sun EP”, 2007)
Conan – “Violence Dimension” (from “Violence Dimension”, 2025)
Stormcrow – “Path to Defeat” (from “Stormcrow/Coffins Split EP”, 2010)
Amazingly, if I have added it up correctly this comes to exactly 35 minutes.
Here's my one submission for the August Fallen playlist, Sonny:
Trail of Tears - "Disappointment's True Face" (from Profoundemonium, 2000)
Here we go Sonny:
Coltsblood - "Until the Eidolon Falls" (from "Obscured Into Nebulous Dusk", 2025)
Ossuary - "Forsaken Offerings (to the Doomed Spirit)" (from "Abhorrent Worship", 2025)
King Witch - "Sea of Lies" (from "III", 2025)
Fer de Lance - "The Feast of Echoes" (from "Fires on the Mountainside", 2025)
That Fer de Lance record walks a line dedicated to mostly epic heavy metal for the most part and so if you feel that track is not for The Fallen then feel free to exclude.
Thanks guys.

I honestly don't think there is much to be gained from being too dogmatic about suggestions in all honesty, Vinny. Sure, there should be something of interest to Fallen members, but there is so much cross-pollination in metal now that as long as it is loosely relevant then I am all for including any suggestion. Maybe I am mellowing with age, but it is all about it being enjoyable for folks to listen to, not about rigidly adhering to dogma.
