7. Guitar part reminds me of Megadeth.
"Instead of putting the bar so high, just be amazed you can breathe." -Joel JohanssonNot so good at rating electronic music, but I guess an 8?
I'd go with a 7, though I'm leaning a bit towards a 6.5.
MASUGN - March of the Undead. Might wanna turn down the volume...?
2.5 - Harsher vocals aside, sounds like a mixture of something I'd hear at a seedy nightclub tangoing with SNES music.
A 10. I couldn't understand what he was saying, so I'll just pretend he's screaming in anger.
I'm not really sure what genre I'd put that under, which makes it harder to rate. The rock sections of the song are at a 6 but the more abrasive electronic drops(?) make it a 7.
The opener definitely puts it high up there, no denying that. Between the instruments and the aggressive vocals, I'd say an 8.5.
About a 6 in terms of the hardness of the beat and the abrasiveness of the electronic flourishes.
8.5 - Cast iron German power/speed metal, keeping up a steady barrage of emphatic pulsing rhythms backed up by Sheepers' Halfordian shrieks, easily a bite above a lot of the thrash we get nowadays. Blunt like a sledgehammer and all the better for it.
I would give this an 8. The guitars are loud and the vocals are tough, but it's not as hard as some of the other stuff you've posted before.
5.5 - Metal tinged hard rock, more focused on pleasant harmony than it is rhythmic density, resulting in slightly heavier radio single material.
A definite 10, it absolutely shreds. Sounds a lot like Destroyer 666.
6.5 - Grimy hard rockish stuff, kinda Orchid reminiscent.

I'd say around hard 9 and soft 10. It definitely could be ranked higher, but I feel like the melodic sound of the instrumentals make this song hit a bit under a normal 10.

I'd put it at a 5. The production has some industrial elements but the only really harsh thing about it is the vocals. The weird breakdown inches it closer to a 6.
Feeling a 7. Fast and loud, but not abrasively so.

The music itself is pretty lightweight, but the distorted lo-fi production quality gives it certain hardness that puts it at level 4. BTW, it feels more like a fragment of a song than an actual song.
7.5 - Somewhat heavier power metal with a distractingly clacky kick drum sound.
A hard 9. I'm not sure whether it's a light death metal song or a very heavy thrash metal song.
Loosid - Clouds (feat. Raycee Jones)
Author.2.5 - The bottom end here provides the relatively minor sense of solidity; otherwise this would be a one.

A 9 I'd say. The loud guitars and barely decipherable vocals put it up there.
Excision & Downlink - Robo Kitty
Author.3 - Listening this puts me in mind of someone hitting someone else very aggressively with a balloon. Sure it looks ferocious and it's quite noisy but there's no real weight behind it. In this case the overly loud electronic drum sound and wonky pseudo-melodies they layer over it are like hot air; mildly irritating but not exactly something to stop you in your tracks
Obliteration - Transient Passage

A solid 10, just some good, solid, hard-hitting death/black metal.
I would say an 8-9. It's pretty heavy for the time it was made(1984).
Deftones-Lhabia
Sorry if I didn't link it. I don't know how to do that.
A 5. The heavier power chords during the "hey!" parts bring it to that level.
Symphony X - The Turning
