Alright, I'll post the results sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening.

In other news, I had an idea how to handle the number thing from here on: I will tell the person with the least amount of points after each rounds what the numbers mean by PM so that this person has a slight edge. How about that?

Alright, I promised results and here they are. First off, this was the strongest round yet, and while there was a clear winner, the rest of them were very close and lower ranking don't mean that I didn't enjoy the songs!

1 point

Artist: Frameshift
Song: La Mer
Sent by: jingle.boy


Sorry Chad, but this one didn't do that much for me. James performance on this song was very good and very powerful, and the piano work was excellent, but I think that the songwriting could have been improved somewhat. What bothered me the most was that this song was basically the same chord progression and melodies throughout, with the first time being piano only, the second adding some drums that sounded a little weak - are they electronic drums? They don't quite pack the punch that I would expect - and the third time, adding the full band, which was pretty predictable, to be honest. Now, this may sound as though I didn't enjoy it and that's not true, it was a pleasant listen, but ultimately little more that that, and while I enjoyed it, I had no desire to really listen to it again afterwards. It might have scored higher in other rounds, but not here.

Artist: Silent Voices
Song: Distorted
Sent by: Nekov


You were a victim of circumstance as well. I liked most of your submission a lot - the intro with the great keyboard work, the awesome vocal melodies, the calm break and the guitar solo after that were all excellent and would have scored this much higher, if there weren't the chorus. After the amazing verses with a great vocal delivery and some awesome vocal melodies, the chorus just felt underwhelming and a little boring, as though they suddenly didn't want to write a chorus anymore, which is a damn shame, because this song could have been so much better, but because the chorus was so underwhelming, it broke up the song whenever it ocurred. Really, a shame.

Artist: Silent Memorial
Song: TV World
Sent by: lonestar


Let me preface that this placement was incredibly hard, and any other day, this could have been three points, but it just barely, barely lost out against the next song. Overall, this was a great tune, with some simple yet effective riffing and a great vocalist, whose voice had a certain roughness to it that fit the song very well, despite being very melodic at the same time. My only complaints with this one are that some of the vocal phrasing could have been a little better, the vocals sometimes felt forced onto the melody, but that didn't really bother me, it just stood out a little. Also, the ending was very abrupt on the first listen, but I eventually got used to it. A cool song, and I certainly enjoyed it, but the others are just slightly better.

Artist: Primal Fear
Song: All For One
Sent by: wolfking


The intro guitars on this had me hoping that there wouldn't be a high, operatic voice entering, and luckily there wasn't. Instead, the vocalist sounds a little like Ripper Owens, a great range, but a certain roughness that is very appealing. When the song really gets going, he lets loose and what a scream! Of course, the rest of the musicians are all good as well, especially the guitars stood out, laying down some very effective, even though very simple riffing. Not really much to say about this, the song was definitely saved by the vocalist, though - I doubt any other vocal tone could have sung these lyrics and not having the whole thing result in a gigantic cheesefest.

Artist: Dagoba
Song: Face the Colossus
Sent by: Elite


Right from the beginning, I knew that this one would be a force to be reckoned with. The riffs are brutal, as are the vocals, but the whole thing is contrasted by some very layered keyboards that give the whole song a lot of room to breathe, if that makes sense, and contrasting it pretty strongly from your standard metal song with harsh vocals. The musicianship of the other members was great as well, I especially enjoyed the growls, which were done very tastefully, but the keyboards really brought this one to life. A very good submission.

Artist: Gojira
Song: Adoration For None
Sent by: Sigz


I had heard quite a lot of praise for these guys, but never really got around to checking them out. This will definitely change now, because this is some of the most brutal and at the same time, some of the tightest music I have ever heard. Special props go out to the drummer, who does some great stuff and gives this song most of its power. The vocalist is great as well, his growls are very aggressive and that fits the music very well, but they are still rather easy to understand, making them pretty accessible, even for someone who is only just beginning to appreciate harsh vocals. The interesting thing was that even though the song didn't really change a lot in mood, I wasn't bored at any time, which is something I have to give Gojira props for. The ending could have been shortened a little, because it was basically just the same theme repeated for more than a minute, but it didn't suffer from it either. Great submission!

This was definitely a weird one. I didn't know what to expect after I heard the introductory horns, but I soon discovered that this is upbeat and happy music, done right. It was literally impossible to listen to this and not have a grin on your face at the end, that's how infectious it was. Like many other songs in this round, this song features great vocals - true, they are pretty dramatic and over-the-top, but it really works in this context. Another highpoint was the keyboard and piano work throughout, it fit the song perfectly and contributed a lot to the mood of the song.

Artist: Ensiferum
Song: Token of Time
Sent by: WindMaster


Folky power black metal? HELL YES! The harsh vocals counteract the cheesisness that is inherent to power metal extremely well and the folky interludes throughout gave the whole song a unique flavour. My only gripe with this song was that when the vocalist actually tried to sing a little during the chorus, that it was noticeably weaker than his growls, but that was only a minor distraction, since he only did so for like five seconds. All in all, this was a great submission, keep it up!

5 points

Artist: Amorphis
Song: Sampo
Sent by: ariich


Holy shit! These guys are awesome, how haven't I heard of them? From a great intro, over awesome verse with a jawdropping vocal delivery and over a chorus that was no less great, over a guitar solo that had me playing air guitar from the first second and over a growling section that fit the song perfectly and still managed to take me by surprise to a perfect ending, this song encompasses everything a metal band can do correctly. Seriously one of the best songs that I have ever heard due to DTF, thanks rich.

Rankings

7 points: Elite, Sigz

Send me something that you would call atmospheric. No longer than 20 minutes, please.

Also, since Sigz and Elite are currently last, they will soon get a PM which tells them which number means what in the next round.

Two things:
- The competition was extremely tough.
- The vocal performance was great, but the songwriting left a little to be desired, and no amount of good performing can save a song that suffers from that flaw.

Schweet, glad you liked it so much! :D

Go out and buy any or all of their latest four albums immediately. My only complaint with Amorphis is that they haven't really changed much between albums in the last 4 albums (although it's a harsh complaint, because they have been by far their strongest works), but their style is amazing, and if you loved Sampo that much then you'll probably love all their recent stuff. :)

I must say, I'm not a big fan of this theme, it's too open IMO.  Atmosphere could be defined differently between people, and sometimes even nostalgia, or personal connections to a song can determine a certain atmosphere which another person may not hear at all.

Anyway, it's a challenge and let's see how we go.

Again, another very strong round, and I feel bad about some ratings, but oh well. This keeps it nice and competitive. :P

1 point

Artist: Mystery
Song: Pride
Sent by: lonestar


Sorry bro, but this one just didn't do a lot to me. Clocking in at 11 and a half minutes, this was the longest song of the bunch and it felt like a chore to listen to at parts - atmospheric, yes, but in some places it verged on the border of being flat-out boring. The structure became a little formulaic after a while, because it was basically calm, acoustic guitars - heavier part with distorted guitars - rinse and repeat throughout. The instrumentation itself was quite good, especially the keys and the guitar playing, but something about the singer bothered me, even though I can't really put my finger on it. Still, not a bad song by any means, but not really that good either.

2 points

Artist: Ayreon
Song: Dawn of a Million Souls
Sent by: jingle.boy


After hearing everyone hype Ayreon, I started listening to THE sometime ago and I think I quit after the third track or something, so I was a little wary when I saw that you had sent me a track from them. It was definitely better than anything that I had heard from the band before, so I'll give you that, but it still didn't really click with me. I don't really think that this is all that atmospheric, but your reasoning does make sense and it was a rather hazy theme, so I won't take off points for that. As with THE, the instrumentalists were quite good and the track was well composed (better than the THE songs that I listened to), especially the instrumental section was pretty cool, with the simpler solo leading into the all-out shred solo, that worked really well. My biggest problem with this one were the keyboards, they sound extremely cheesy and really detracted from the enjoyment of the song. All in all, not a bad song, but it has more potential than that that was used.

Artist: Anathema
Song: The Storm Before the Calm
Sent by: WindMaster


I was rather hopeful that this would make a better impression than Thin Air did, but it seems that Anathema isn't the band for me. There were some cool parts (like with Thin Air, I especially liked the calmer parts), like the intro guitar and the break in the middle of the song with the choir above it. However, the ending dragged on for far too long for my tastes and the beginning, after the intro motif was rather lackluster, in my opinion. It had a lot going on, but it wasn't really memorable in any shape or form.

3 points

Artist: OSI
Song: Microburst Alert
Sent by: Ultimetalhead


I had listened to a few OSI tracks already, but none off of Blood except for the title track, so I let this one slide. Overall, it was a great song, I really dug the simple riffing, the groove of the track and the electronic elements, though I have to be in the right mood for electronic music in general. The best part of the song was the simple yet effective riff that enters around the 2:30 minute mark. The one gripe I had with this song was that the electronically modified vocals weren't really my cup of tea here, I think I would have enjoyed it more as an instrumental, but I still liked it a lot.

Artist: Subsignals
Song: Beautiful and Monstrous
Sent by: wolfking


Kade seems to have a penchant for landing in the middle of the pack, it seems. Like the other rounds, I thoroughly enjoyed this track, especially the intro, which set the tone nicely for the rest of the song. I was a little taken aback when the vocals entered and they are definitely the weakest point of the song, even though I warmed up to them a little, the vocals just sound a little whiny in the higher range. The vocal melodies were great, though, and the song was very enjoyable as a whole. Keep it up!

Artist: Alcest
Song: Écailles de Lune, Part 1
Sent by: ariich


Another band that I hadn't checked out earlier, even though I had heard a lot of good stuff. This was a great tune, the instrumentation is very subdued at the beginning, but it draws you into the song all the same. The vocals are great as well, they sound a little distant, but it helps them blend into the overall sound very well. The tempo and mood shift around 7:45 came a little sudden on the first listen, but it makes sense and it fits the song, keeping it from becoming boring by changing the mood drastically. The fade-out at the end felt a little cheap, I think this song would have deserved a "proper" ending, but I still liked it a lot.

Artist: Wolves in the Throne Room
Song: Dia Artio
Sent by: Elite


You're right, you don't hear that they are a black metal band in this track. It was probably the track that had the least going on of all tracks, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment in the slightest. The whole song feels very dense, right from the start, without sounding crushing and oppressing, but rather soothing and calming. I especially liked the drums with the little echo they have, making them sound a little distant, which works very well. There's not really much else to say because not a lot happens here, but it was a great track.

Artist: ISIS
Song: 10,000 Shards
Sent by: Sigz


I swear I'm not doing this on purpose, that you and Elite are tied! This was a great and very enjoyable song, the guitar melody sounds very hypnotic and draws you into the song right from the beginning. The lead guitar which slowly emerges creates a great transition into the heavier, distorted riffs later in the song, without sounding out of place. As with Elite's song, not a lot happens here, it rather lets the listener get lost in the song, but it was a great listen anyway.

Artist: Iris
Song: Indian Dream
Sent by: Nekov


When I read that this track features Ian Mosley and Pete Trewavas, I was pretty excited, because Marillion is one of the only prog rock bands that I actually like. This track lived up to every last bit of my expectations and then some. It features a lengthy buildup, nearly three minutes long, but it doesn't feel too long or stretched out at all. After that, a beautiful guitar melody enters, all the while supported by great drumming, impressive key layering and some subtle yet awesome bass playing, which becomes evident in the middle part, where the bass assumes a more prominent role. The ending was a little abrupt, but it still fit the song somehow. This is exactly what I was looking for, perfect submission!

UMH is still in the lead, but Nekov and ariich are mightily close! Can they unsettle him from his throne in the next round?

Speaking of which, the new theme, courtesy of Nekov's number 4 is:

UNUSUAL INSTRUMENT

Shamelessly lifted from Elite's roulette, I want you to send me a song that features an unusual instrument. Any instrument that is not keyboards/piano, guitar, bass, drums or vocals shall be considered unusual.

A PM will be sent to lonestar shortly, telling him what the numbers will mean in the next round.

Man 3 points again.  :lol

This round is going to be tough.

Oh, and Chad going to be mad with a 2 for Ayreon.   :lol  Ayreon is an acquired taste but that was one of the first songs I heard by Arjen and it made me a fan.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure that Chad won't like that, but Ayreon just don't really click with me. I mean, I'll keep on trying, in case something happens like with Devin, but at the moment, I'm no fan.
