Round 8 Results:#8(1 Point): Elite - "I Am" - TheocracyNot bad, but it just didn't do much for me at all. There were some kick ass riffs here and there, but the vocals weren't my cup of tea, and it was a little too long for its own good. I just can't seem to get into a lot of prog metal.
#7(2 Points): Sacul - "Becoming Insane" - Infected MushroomCool, but still not up my alley. I would have probably ranked this higher if it were instrumental, honestly. It's got a fun rhythm to it and I can see it being a cool party song, but that's about it for me
#6(3 Points): Scorpion - "Come Hell or High Water" - Native ConstructThis one was pretty cool. I really dig the parts with harsh vocals and the very proggy instrumental parts. This was a fun listen and I look forward to checking this band out. Cool orchestra sounds too
#5(4 Points): senecadawg2 - "Spanish Sahara" - FoalsI really like the atmosphere of this one. I like the gradual build up, and the video for this one was pretty sweet. It kinda makes me feel like I'm underwater or something. Will be listening to this as I fall asleep tonight.
#4(5 Points): kingshmegland - "Barfly" - Moon SafariThis one reminded me so much of Transatlantic, but in a good way. I love the magical solo around two and a half minutes, and all in all, this one was a pretty song. I also love the beginning and ending riff of the song, it's kick ass! Oh, and yeah, never heard of them
#3(6 Points): Nekov - "Your Hand In Mine" - Explosions in the SkyI've listened to this band before, but not much. It's a beautiful song, but I like some of the other post rockish entries better. This one is still beautiful for sure. It's such a cool genre, how gorgeous and relaxing it can be. Definitely going to be listening to more of them.
#2(7 Points): black_floyd - "Firestarter" - The ProdigyThis song is awesome. Sounds like a boss battle for a video game. It sounds so familiar, I swear. This was a fun one to drive to, and the vocals are pretty interesting. Fyuh Stotta! This sounds like soundtrack material for a Fast and Furious movie too.
#1(8 Points): Parama - "Comforting Sounds" - MewHell, like there was any contest. This is not only by far the best entry of this round, but easily the best entry of this entire roulette. No wonder you were saving this one for last. It's incredible. Despite what seneca says, this song is great. I love the vocalist, as you can really hear the emotion in the voice. The instrumental section till the end of the song is some of the best music I have heard in my entire life. I looked up the meaning of the song, and it just made it that much more enjoyable. Not a lot of songs can make me feel extremely emotional, but this one sure as hell did. I've listened to this at least 20 times already. And with this perfect entry, you've won my roulette
