Kinda bummed they didn't keep the metal names for Morde's skills

Really liked the homage they paid to old metal songs.

I think the old names were better (and the songs, too) but they're still references to metal and death metal. Also keep in mind that the above songs are the most likely answers (based on popularity and ratings) but I could have missed a specific song the devs were referencing.

######Indestructible is a dope ass song, though

Its possible they might have?

Indestructible is definitely a Disturbed song, so I'm wondering if the others I just don't recognize. Might need some research.

Edit: Ok so I found some stuff.

"Darkness Rise" was a bit weird, but I did find this song "The Rise of Darkness" by Immortal that it could potentially be a reference to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IPeQ-yI0_s

"Obliterate" is the name of a metal band, this is one of their albums, "Impending Death" (which also sounds like it could've been a Morde skill) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0RJ34gvjrQ

"Indestructible" this one is obvious, its a Disturbed song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWxBrI0g1kE

"Death's Grasp" Couldn't find anything, but does "Deathfire Grasp" count? It is a metal song, even if self-referential. And its a real banger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be1waE9myCU

"Realm of Death" This one I had to ask my dad for, but after some searching, there's a Judas Priest song called "Beyond the Realm of Death". Not really the "modern" metal you'd expect and might just be coincidental, but Judas Priest is sometimes considered old school metal. They definitely influenced modern metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ewrSgDf50I

Don't know if these are intentional or if I'm stretching, but there you go. Some potential references. I'm pretty confident in his W being a reference.
