The $5.98 TAC EP Roulette V.4Wanna make some EP's? Well alright!
5 Rounds
First 4 are themed
Final Round is a concept...no theme except the one you give it.
NO Eliminations!
EP's should be no longer than 35-40 minutes. Obviously if one comes in at 41 or 42 minutes, I won't make you trim it, but please be mindful of the process and pace. Looking for at least 3 artists per EP.
Looking for ideally 8 people, but will accept 10. Any more than that and that could result in 10 day rounds. Hell, they may be 10 day rounds as it is.

Round 1...A Change Of SeasonsFor this round, please pick a season and build an EP around it.
For example, if you pick Summer, it can be about beaches, hot sunny days, keg parties...
A Winter theme could be snow, freezing cold, OK..?
Round 2..Women In UniformFor this, I would like an EP with Female Vocals. If you have a song that features both male/female vocals, the female split should be at least 2/3s.
Round 3...Saint Valentine's Day MassacreSain't Valentine's. A Day of Love. For this EP, please build it around an emotion.
Examples could be Love, Hate, Hope, Fear. Please identify with emotion you are using in your PM.
Round 4...Haunting The ChapelPlease build an EP around the theme of religion. Examples would be an EP about God, Satan, Religion, Sacrifice, Sun Gods, Mythology, etc..
Round 5...The EPstonishingMake an EP. Tell me a story.
Please build a concept EP around a story.
ScoringEP's will be scored on a scale of 0-20.
I will average the song scores and double the value. For example if the average of your song scores is 8.5, then that will net a score of 17/20.
I will add a point if you successfully conveyed the theme to me.
I will also add a point to the best overall EP each round.
Also, for each of your EPs, you will identify a song that you want me to use the score twice when averaging the scores.
For example if this is your EP song scores
Song 1...8.0
Song 2...8.5
Song 3...7.0
Song 4...7.5
Song 5...9.0
The Average is 8 which will net you 16 points.
If you designate Song 5, your score will be 8.2 or 16.4.
If you designate Song 3, your score will be 7.8 or 15.6
Understand?
Any track under 2 minutes will not be scored. if you think an into or transition piece might help you gain the extra point for best EP, or for best Theme, that's fine.
Also, I know EP's take some planning. So I wanted to do this.
Say in round one, after Hangman, someone uses Iron Maiden, but you wanted to use them for a later round. Once Hangman is revealed, but BEFORE the scoring, please PM me that you intend on using Iron Maiden later on. Once the scores are up, then you are locked in to using them.
Does that make sense? Is that fair?
Tastes...I'm a hard rock.metal guy. I'm also 51 years old. I'm in the US, about 25 miles south of Boston.
Over the last couple of years or so, I've opened up to harsh vocals. I prefer Black Metal to Death Metal, but generally do not like Sceamo.
But by Black Metal, I don't mean wallofsoundblastbeatmania. There needs to be some depth.
My favorite bands are Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, UFO, Alice Cooper, All Things Dio, Thin Lizzy and Helloween.
SubmittingPlease submit via a Spotify playlist link. Please don't waste any time trying to edit one song into another. I don't care honestly. I'm more impressed by the natural "flow-hesiveness" between consecutive songs.
If you must send me a download link, then fine, but Ideally, this is the exception and not the norm. Spotify will make it easier for me to listen and maintain a reasonable pace.
