The Rome track wasn't bad at all. Reminded me not of Nick Cave, but piano magic. But I like me a bit of black metal, too, and I think B just edges it B

A is - as has been said - gothy old folk thing but thankfully atmospheric and moody - was this not what New Model Army were supposed to be like? - its got some interesting production choices. Its not my WHEEL HOUSE but I *quite* enjoyed it, actually. Interesting.
B is complete pony, as bad as that Twa Tams thing.

Sorry black metal band, I'm going with the Interpol wannabes.

This example is decent enough but very derivative of what it’s taken from, especially the stock Death in June-lite German samples (why?).
It's a Spanish sample in this case, which goes hand-in-hand with the Spanish Civil War concept/theme of the album. I do think they're very well-chosen and add a fair bit to the atmosphere and texture of the track, really help kick it a gear further just as the martial beat takes over, it's a really nice piece overall.
I'm kinda with osgood regarding a lot of metal genres and rarely feeling like I get the reason to why one is X genre and the other Y, or why do they even have to be seen as separate genres at all. I totally get if that's just me and my general ignorance/disinterest in metal. That said, far as this side of the genre goes, B wasn't bad. There's a neat frantic drive to it and I find myself minding the usual banshee shrieking a lot less when it's used more as another component of a track's texture moreso than the protagonical role in a song or song's production. Still, at the end of the day, A is more my bag.

A sounds like a lullabye for Nazi babies – I’m sure it’s not though.
