Gentlemen. From now on I'll be tallying the five most popular song submissions from http://www.reddit.com/r/Metal/ each week, and posting them here for your convenience. Time to actually put this group to use, eh?

Might change the format to ten or even more songs per entry, depending on how busy a particular week is. Songs will be Youtube links for the most part - if, however, they're too long for Youtube (as is the case with the Agalloch track), then I'll link to them on here, provided they're available for streaming.

Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor (II)

Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion

Neurosis - Lost

Dark Tranquillity - Edenspring

Napalm Death - Time Waits For No Slave
