Metal, Rock & Industrial Challenge #3: The Playlist

As I've been forcing myself to get out of the house more, regardless of my allergies, I've been going for walks through the streets of the neighborhood I've lived in for ten years but never explored. Of course I need music for these walks, so I've been using my Treo phone as an mp3 player. The 2GB memory card holds, in addition to a few other programs, a current playlist of 270 Christian metal, rock and industrial songs. With my ripping settings, that's as much as the phone holds. But that's plenty. On shuffle play, one to two hour walks never repeat.

I pulled the 270 tracks from a total of 199 albums. The Christian Metal, Rock & Industrial Challenge #3 is a collage of all 199 of those albums. Plenty of these have been used in the previous two challenges. A few of these are custom CDs that I converted from cassettes a while back, so don't be surprised if you don't recognize them. A few of the albums pictured fit much more comfortably in the pop category, but for my playlist the songs I chose have a slightly harder edge. A couple are radio singles.

So this is what I listen to when I'm out getting my exercise. Feel like trying your hand at identifying what the albums are? Post whatever you recognize.

#55 = Living Sacrifice - Reborn

Heres a couple of the very few that Nazpastor missed.


51. Quiet City – Quiet City
103. Undercover - Forum
121. Undercover - Devotion

150. Lloyd - thoughts from a driveway


This was the band that a few members of the now defunct Imagine This were a part of. They went in a more pop alternative direction, sadly.

Other than 1 title by 1 artist in nazpastor's list being incorrect, everything everyone listed was correct (leaving 7 titles unanswered).

alldat, you weren't too fond of the Lloyd album? It was definitely a change in sound from the Imagine This albums, but I enjoyed it a lot, especially the lyrics.

7thSecond, Reborn is my favorite Living Sacrifice album, with the song "180" being my favorite Living Sacrifice song.

Do you guys and/or gals find these collages interesting or entertaining? Are they boring to you? In other words, would you rather I just stop making them? Over in CMR there appears to be no interest in them any more. In here, nazpastor nails them all right away, so I'm guessing nazpastor finds it an interesting passtime, but does anyone else get any value out of it?

My bad, #24 is Leviticus -- The Best of Leviticus, not Live at Bobfest 2003.

...and then there were 6.

#97 is bugging me something fierce. I know I have seen that one and know what it is, but I cannot for the life of me remember that one.

#29 looks familiar also, but not maddeningly so.

I enjoy them, but I was trying to give a couple of people a chance to play before I jumped in. Also, with this one being longer, I knew it would take a while to really think it through.

#18. Echo Hollow - "Diet Of Worms"

#66. Fleming & John - "Delusions Of Granduer"

That's not number 18. The numbers are below the pic, so Echo Hollow is actually #33
#18 looks like it says "Outcry" on it.

To answer DH's kwestion, I really dig the collages. But the long ones really take some time.

Very Very Nice,...Blesssssss

Welcome Stone Blumk to Christian Hard Music.

Oh yeah, I filled in the blanks on the last six covers (the ones in red) a while ago.
