Alright you guys, welcome to my song roulette!
Seven eight NINE fine fellas will be battling for the title of the champion, and they are:

Scorpion
YtseBitsySpider (holy eff, everyone, you're battling the mystery judge
)
Mystery Participant
What you need to know:
a) I'm a metal person. Meaning, this is maybe one of the 5% of roulettes where you won't hear the words "don't send me growlies". Take advantage of that, I guess
I like crazy stuff and I like prog and I like... a lot of things I guess. So there are no genre limits. I guess you're best off with mildly melodic metal and prog, and I'm not really into -core stuff, but with a good enough band that can change!
b) Send songs to morawintersoul@gmail.com. I would prefer youtube links but sending files also works. Just no Spotify, since we don't have it here.
c) I have no time limit for songs, but if you send stuff over 20 minutes long routinely, when you have shorter songs that could just as well fit the purpose, you're going to make me spend a lot more time both listening and trying to judge the tune. Therefore you're slowing the roulette down. So if it's not the very definition of sublime, I am going to mentally deduce you points for being a dick to the rest of the participants
d) list of forbidden bands. I haven't heard every album ever by all of these bands, but the chances of you finding some song of these bands that I haven't heard is pretty slim, so send stuff that's not in it.

e) List of rounds! I always curse cruel fate for using up something that would be perfect in a later round in the first round already. So here's a list of future rounds (in smaller font because some people would prefer not knowing, and in that case just scroll):
Round 1: open
Round 2: guitar-driven awesomeness
Round 3: something lyrically good. and if you're not a lyrically oriented person, send me an instrumental!
Round 4: eh fuck it I'll have another open round in the middle. SEND AWESOME STUFF basically.
Round 5: something I could dance to. Headbanging is also dancing, so you can get your death metal on.
Round 6: something with an amazing vocalist.
Round 7: Several songs, under a certain time limit.
What else. Uhm. If I've forgotten something let me know
First round is open and you have until Monday (sir Spider has informed me he's away 'til Sunday). Happy hunting!!!
