Wolfking's Wonderful Winger roulette v.3 - Final results have come...

[jingle.boy]

Are you putting forward 'fucking finally' as a guess?

Yes.  Yes I am.  Especially since it wasn't Luke's.

[lonestar]

I'm taking it Yeti Valhalla was not a hit?

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I may be getting a -2 this round

[wolfking]

Nah.......not really mate.

Round 7 Impressions

Let's get some impressions out.  Undecided if I leave these and follow up tomorrow with some more as I know some of these will change.



The whole vibe is different but really quite enjoyed it.

lonestar - I enjoyed the chorus, not sure the rest is for me, but fits the positive vibe.

TAC - You may have struck a nerve with the them in the most roundabout way.

Jingle - Fucking finally!

Another out of my wheelhouse but it did have a nice feel.

Stadler - Just a great classic song.  Never been into this band but this is great.

Pretty impressive melodeath here.

King - I hate this band, but this was surprisingly really good.

Lonk - Yeah, this is fun and catchier than I thought it would be off the bat.

Gotta admit, I really like the 80's pop vibe here.  Really comforting vocals too.

A bit of a stretch for the theme but for a genre that's usually hit or miss, this was pretty solid.

twosuitluke - Holy shit, I thought this was quite outstanding!  Is the hype actually real?  Influences are blatant, but fuck it.

Indi - That solo section is worth waiting for, not sure on the rest.

Evermind - I can tell you were struggling with the theme but pretty good prog metal and strong vocals.  is it enough though?

Puppies - This one I'm struggling with, need more listens, this may be a bit too wimpy even with my guard down.

Nice playing but this side of the instrument has never done for me.

I'm just not sure what the point of this is unfortunately.

Despite the love I'm not sure I've ever heard much from this band.  Not what I expected.  Catchy chorus though.

[ReaperKK]

Is mine out of your wheelhouse?

[lonestar]

Nah.......not really mate.

Their other song is much better, but not very positive lol

[wolfking]

Is mine out of your wheelhouse?

No.

[wolfking]

Their other song is much better, but not very positive lol

It was fine for what it was I guess but went with the song that offered a bit more of something different to what I know.

[lonestar]

Love to hear that actually... It's funny cause that song is a slight divergence from Nemophila's straightforward metalcore styling as well.

[twosuitsluke]

After this round, you're going to have to change your name to gizzardking

[wolfking]

This always pops in my head when I hear the band name;

[twosuitsluke]

Then I will be the king to your queen. We'll be better than the other roulette king and queen.

[wolfking]

 

[King Postwhore]

Then I will be the king to your queen. We'll be better than the other roulette king and queen.

This means war.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Pretty impressive melodeath here.

Probably this. 

[Dr. DTVT]

Mine is probably the last one.  This will be my only guess.

[jingle.boy]

Jingle - Fucking finally!

[twosuitsluke]

This means war.

I don't feel threatened by you two.

Alright lets try this:

[jingle.boy]

I may be getting a -2 this round

Moon Safari is 10lbs of awesome in a 5lb bag.  But that takes some serious stones to send to Kade.

Let's finish this, Leroy Jenkins style


Crow: The whole vibe is different but really quite enjoyed it.

rom: Another out of my wheelhouse but it did have a nice feel.

Lacus: Gotta admit, I really like the 80's pop vibe here.  Really comforting vocals too.

ariich: A bit of a stretch for the theme but for a genre that's usually hit or miss, this was pretty solid.

Shadow: I'm just not sure what the point of this is unfortunately.

<Crow and Rom could be interchangeable>

Lucky for you boss you nailed it.

Finally, a good impression

[Crow]

what did shadow ninja se- ahh, yeah, i see. i. would not have sent that to you specifically

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Hey, the theme is something positive. No one can claim I haven't fulfilled that request exactly.

Plus it's not as if I have to worry about losing my lead.

[wolfking]

So, I've mentioned before about how my last two roulettes I've never really followed up on anything too closely.  There has been a few bands I've picked up years later but for some reason, going back and following up straight after hasn't been a thing.  Time was obviously a factor too back then.  Spotify now obviously takes a lot of the problems out too, so thinking about how I'm thinking about how I'm going to do it with the volume of what's been sent. 

So, I want to spread the listening across everyone and have just listed the band (some a couple as I haven't decided yet) that I'll most probably check out first after the roulette has finished.  May change based on the last two rounds but this is what I'm thinking at the moment;

TAC - Walls of Blood/Noor
Jingle - Damnations Day
Crow - Astolat
Indiscipline - Vanderberg
King - Alice in Chains
Lonestar - Lovebites
Puppies - Darkest Hour/Manticora
Lonk - Rivers of Nihil
Evermind - Xaon/Hamfred
Reaper - Fair to Midland
Litho - The Offering
Ariich - Andy Gillion
twosuitsluke - Enslaved
Sacul - Obsidian Kingdom
Dr. DTVT - Lorna Shore
Stadler - U.K
romdrums - Panic Division
Shadow Ninja - Beast in Black

Not sure how I'll tackle after that but will start with one album per participant to give everyone some love.

[TAC]

Lonestar - Lovebites

I've really taken to Lovebites. Their music has a Helloween flare to it. Melodic power metalish but ballsy.
The singer can get a bit tiring after a while, but they're a great band.

Yeah, musically they're borderline flawless, but I agree Asami is the weakest link (just don't mention that to hardcore Lovebites fans lol)... can't wait to see them in September.

Kade, if you're picking one album, from Lovebites I'd highly suggest Electric Pentagram...that's been on regular rotation for me for a few weeks now, and it's just amazing.

Thanks RJ perfect, will start with that one, exactly what I'm looking for with my post.  Any suggestions from anyone will take on board.

I did mention the vocals being the weakest point but they weren't a deal breaker, even though they were female. 

[jingle.boy]

Damnations Day only has 2 albums - hit 'em both.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I think Manticora is going to be way more up your alley overall than Darkest Hour.
