RESULTSSorry for my write-ups, I'm really tired.
? - Kingston Wall - And I Hear You CallThe main riff has been caught in my head a lot. Nice prog rock song with oriental influences, I really love the drumming in it.
8,8Scorpion - Myrath - Under SiegeTunisian heavy metal, cool! Their ethnic background can certainly be heard. Heavy 7-string-guitar riffing is supported by tasty string synths. I expected for more powerful chorus, but after all, a very good song. I guess the lyrics are influenced by the Arab Spring?
8,5Nekov - Korpiklaani - VäkirautaNoo, you should have send something Argentinian. I have heard some Astor Piazzolla played by one classical quartet and it sounded great. However, I like Finnish folk music and this made no difference, even though being quite heavy. Very fun song. Accordion solo
.
Grooveshark jams a lot, please don't use it. mp3:s are alright again due to change of e-mail address.
9,1WindMaster - Mumford & Sons - The CaveBeautiful and rather uplifting folk track. I don't usually like banjo, but it is used well here.
8MoraWintersoul - Skyclad - Inequality StreetI fell in love with this song as soon as it began. The only song with Celtic influences I recieved. Seems to be a bit cheek-in-tongue, makes me smile. Damn fine song, and I love the vocalist's accent.
9,5obscure - The Tea Party - GyroscopeAgain you send me a grower, I like this now much more than on the first listen. The shortest song I've got so far, but it has many great elements compressed in a short amount of time without feeling incomplete. Might be the noisiest one this round aswell.
8,7Lolzeez - Shakti - Mind EcologyWell this one's interesting. There's a fast-paced percussion and some Indian instrument in the background, and an acoustic guitar and a violin playing over it. The musicianship is indeed excellent. Very different to everything else I recieved, but very good.
8,3lonestar - Myrath - Tales of the SandPopular band in DTF I assume?
But I do understand. Great intro, I wish it had been longer. I like the oriental percussion present throughout. The chorus in Arabic is a nice twist. I think this song sounds like an album closer, but apparently it isn't, so I'm interested to find out have they made something more suitable for this album. At least it was a great closer to my listening sessions.
