And one more song for the early morning:

==========================

Whitechapel - When a Demon Defiles a Witch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuRZYB9EEZM

Estimated Score: 60.00000001 [Upgraded to 70.00]

The drumming's a bit too intense, but I like most of the lyrics & I enjoy the clean vocals near the end. It's hard to decide on a favorite line in the song as there's a lot of overwhelming despair & a lot of all-consuming rage, both of which play very well for me at various times.

I cant erase these memories
But I will erase humanity


The song could easily join Planet Shit near the top of the charts some days with a line that direct.

Burn everything
Its a lie anyway

Theres nowhere left to run
Theres nowhere left for me to be


While the blunt despair and hopelessness here is more generally pleasing, along with a decent amount of anger from wanting to burn everything. But then there's also a lot of dissociation:

I cry but if you take a closer look
Youll see its a demons eyes
Theres no coming back for me
For my spirit guide is trapped inside my brain
I dont know who I am


Which is definitely the type of thing that plays very well with me at this exact moment. So there is a lot to love in this song... though the intensity is a bit much, I feel like the lyrics (and oddly the chorus, which I seem to like quite a bit in spite of the intensity) should guarantee the song a place in the "I like this" tier. I'd probably start it just a minuscule amount above the CLUMP and then see how I felt about it after I'd had time to adjust to the more intense parts. I can definitely see times where I could give this the full hundred points, but I'm not quite there at the moment, but I do like this and would look forward to revisiting it.

[Later: I decided to hold off on posting this one for a day so I could listen to it a second time; And... I'm honestly not sure. It definitely is more intense than I'd like, but I'm also really into all of the lyrics and the chorus. I also doubt that I'd be giving all this extra time and attention to just any random 60 point song. So... best estimation is that I'd set it at exactly 70 points and revisit it a few months later, with a note that the song's score is expected to fluctuate wildly.]
