History MohsRockMetal / Level6

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enejjKpMtgU The Catacombs]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e27wGQaAB0 Sullied Grace]] [[note]] The upload uses an unofficial title, "Dirty & Beauty". This song would sit at level 7, but the softer intro and the more organ-focused parts (lacking the guitar) in the main body of the song push it down to a borderline 7.[[/note]] (Jun Ishikawa & Hirokazu Ando, ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'' and ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' soundtracks)

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rczjjI9hQo Sex and Religion]] (Music/VioletUK) [[note]] The majority of the song is here - though Yoshiki's drum solo section - one of his absolute best post neck injuries and prior to his 2009 surgery - is a high 7 or 8, easily comparable with any of his pre-injury work.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEQnzs8wl6E Fade to Black]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM8bTdBs-cw One]] [[note]]The song starts out as a 2 for roughly the first three and a half minutes, then jumps into a 6, gradually moving up to 7, then 8 for the rest of the song. All in all, it probably balances out as a 6.[[/note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKqLn0vavOo Motorbreath (Unplugged Version)]] [[note]]This live song nicely demonstrates how hard you can get with just an acoustic guitar. The electrified version, meanwhile, is a pretty solid 8.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0aAA0KnlGo The House That Jack Built]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRV9uPr4Dz4 Until It Sleeps]] (Music/{{Metallica}})

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeAZyu2zh0Q Elektrobank]] (Music/TheChemicalBrothers) [[note]] The [[https://open.spotify.com/track/6bpbfkG0fU2j8Fl4HKQhJR demo version]] is closer to a soft 8, due to the more aggressive distortion (usually at a standard 8, but peaking at a hard 8) balancing out with the lighter sections.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMAFH8uxP5w Shining Star]] ([[http://prettycure.wikia.com/wiki/%E2%98%86SHINING_STAR%E2%98%86 Lyrics here]]) from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' [[note]] This is a very unusual example for being Level 1 on the SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness. It's here because the lyrics [[NoIndoorVoice are shouted most of the time]] and the performance in general has a consistently high intensity and volume.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOTjqi5ZjGU Taion]] [[note]] A prime case of LyricalDissonance - the song is about [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta the Junko Furuta kidnapping, rape, and murder case]] - and therefore a 9-10 on the SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4q6XQbU5Qk VORTEX]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqhF1vKGlb0 The Suicide Circus]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdHO7yobgUk SHIVER]] (Music/TheGazette)

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSmmM5NdW88 Don't Stop]] (Innerpartysystem) [[note]] While the song itself is a borderline 7, the lyrics, instead, being an extremely harsh TakeThat to celebrity culture a la Marilyn Manson, rank around a 9-10 in the SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYVCqsuyLzk Angry Video Game Nerd Theme]] ([[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Kyle Justin]]) [[note]] It ranks at a clear 11 in the SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness however, due to the lyrics' obscene levels of vulgarity.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO0ikbGvIY0 Caravan]] [[note]] More of a straight forward 6.[[/note]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtdKhwhAcd4 2112: Overture/Temples of Syrinx]] (Music/{{Rush}}) [[note]]These are the first two parts of the song; the rest moves around. 'The Discovery' would be around 1, while 'The Presentation' is basically a back-and-forth between the styles of parts 2 and 3. Soliloquy and Grand Finale, the last two parts of the song, [[BookEnds are at 6.]] [[/note]]

Takayuki Aihara's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2P55QOSJwM arrangement]] is a borderline 7.[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn10l3b--ds Let Ass Kick Together!]] (Manabu Namiki, ''VideoGame/BattleGaregga'' and ''VideoGame/ArmedPoliceBatrider'' soundtracks)

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDeYQBfF1fo Basefree]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZYnw3GBAlU XYZ]] (Music/BoardsOfCanada) [[note]] Two of [=BoC=]'s hardest songs. "Basefree" contains unusually heavy beats for the duo and is more fast-paced than their regular mateiral, and despite "XYZ"'s very harsh and fast beats, the duo's signature warm sounds are present throughout the track, along with the intro and ending having no beats at all, which brings it down on the scale somewhat.[[/note]]
