Doug's Picks - HELL (strictly speaking not Halloween, but I think you can deal with it)

"Welcome to Hell" by Gods of Fire (metal) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
"Devil Hell" by Iron Metal (sludgy black metal) - CC BY-NC-SA
I think that the slash in the album title may have messed things up for FMA. If you look at the side of the track you'll see "New Collection" several times.

"Hell Yeah, Fuck Em" by Stress Ape (noise) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website

If you are looking for a -ND sports song, this one is amazing.
I didn't actually plan for all the artists to come from represented counties, but once I thought I five of them that way by chance, I checked the sixth...yep!
