Topic	Johnbobb ranks 113 User-nominated Villain Songs [THE RANKING]
Johnbobb 08/12/20 11:01:42 PM #371:	20. Devourer Source: Warhammer 40K (fan song by StringStorm) Villain: The Tyranids Nominator: Pirateking2000 (ELIMINATED) Favorite lyric: Our evolution is impeding, this universe will end / It's purpose is served as we ascend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iRwdfZw5y0 Villainy: 10 Characterization: 9 Melody: 3 Total: 22/30 It might be hard to believe given how high it's placed, but Devourer is one of the biggest disappointments of the entire ranking, and ultimately that's what's kept it just ~~out of~~ barely in the top 20. The first like 25 seconds of the song are intense and powerful and immediately got me hyped. I only had a very vague idea of what Tyranids were but could right away picture the giant, horrifying army approaching to the heavy synth. And then those vocals come in. If not for those vocals, this would've been a top 10 song easy. The lyrics do an excellent job portraying the Tyranids as this nearly unfathomable enemy that won't halt until it's destroyed all of civilization. They aren't just mindless killers either; these are monsters in their purest form, unstoppable and wreaking havoc and destruction with full malice. They're the embodiment of creeping death. And those vocals are just so goddamn bad. Everything else about the song is excellent. The instrumentals are creepy and exciting and they're just ruined by these high-pitched, tone-deaf, double-layered vocals that feel completely out of place within the rest of the song. It honestly just blows my mind that this was the direction they decided to take what was otherwise a top-tier fan song. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:943317415] in Johnbobb r...
