Thank you to everyone who submitted song requests!

Kavinsky — Nightcall (2010)

REST IN PEACE 🙏 To me this is one of the greatest songs of all time... A defining track of the synthwave revival, “Nightcall” delivers brooding atmosphere, neon‑lit nostalgia, and that unmistakable retro pulse. Kavinsky’s cinematic production makes this a vibe-heavy chart focused on timing, restraint, and groove.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Emmy-Dell !

---

Snot — My Balls (1997)

Had to put this one in this week, the ones on theme here are self-explanatory 🤣 Raw, irreverent, and full of late‑90s hardcore attitude, “My Balls” hits with punchy riffs and relentless energy. Snot’s fusion of punk, metal, and groove makes this a scrappy, high‑tempo challenge for players who like things loud and unfiltered.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @audioooo !

---

Bullet For My Valentine — Fever (2010)

“Fever” delivers BFMV’s polished metalcore sound: soaring choruses, tight riffs, and infectious hooks. The track’s mix of aggression and melody makes it a great pick for players who enjoy fast palm‑muting, punchy rhythms, and big vocal-driven moments.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @xanered !

---

Thievery Corporation — All That We Perceive (2002)

A lush downtempo classic blending trip‑hop, world music textures, and hypnotic grooves. Thievery Corporation’s smooth production creates a meditative, flowing chart that rewards feel and subtlety over brute force.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Hikikomori !

---

Electric Callboy — The Way You Are (2023)

Electric Callboy’s high‑energy blend of metalcore, EDM, and tongue‑in‑cheek swagger shines in “The Way You Are.” Packed with punchy riffs, glossy synths, and the band’s signature playful intensity, this track is a blast to play — fast, tight, and full of momentum.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Emmy-Dell !

---

Nothing More — Jenny (2014)

A powerful modern rock track blending emotional storytelling with dynamic instrumentation. “Jenny” hits hard both musically and thematically, with tight grooves and expressive vocal lines that translate into a chart full of intensity and nuance.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Staji !

---

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets — Marmalade March (2017)

A kaleidoscope of psychedelic riffs, frenetic grooves, and swirling textures. PPC’s off‑kilter songwriting creates a chart full of twists, turns, and rhythmic surprises — perfect for players who love controlled chaos and colorful guitar lines.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Hypercat !

---

Dark Tranquillity — Edenspring (1997)

A cornerstone of melodic death metal, “Edenspring” showcases Dark Tranquillity’s signature blend of harmonized leads, driving rhythms, and emotional intensity. The track’s fluid guitar work and dynamic shifts make it a rewarding test of stamina and melodic precision.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @vuducult !

---

Between the Buried and Me — Autodidact (2021)

BTBAM’s progressive mastery is on full display: genre‑hopping sections, intricate riffs, and cinematic transitions. “Autodidact” is a journey — demanding, technical, and deeply satisfying for players who enjoy long-form prog challenges.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Hikikomori !

---

Dirty Loops — Old Armando Had A Farm (2014)

Dirty Loops bring their trademark fusion wizardry to this wild, hyper‑technical reimagining. Expect blistering bass runs, jazz‑pop harmonies, and rhythmic trickery that keeps you on your toes. A playground for players who love precision and musical chaos.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Emmy-Dell !
