No need to wait any longer. The results are in.
YtseSeventh Wonder – Wise Man: The keyboards and piano are fantastic in this song. The rest is pretty standard prog metal. At one point I wondered what was special about this song and then the piano solo came in and stole my heart.
DTVTEnchant – Flat Line: I find the guitar sound to be too staticky and the song overall to be uninteresting. It almost takes up when the guitar solo comes in but then it goes back to where it was before.
ObscureOverkill – Necroshine: The intro of the song got me all excited cause I thought something interesting was coming my way, but then it turned out to be just plain thrash metal which was a bit disappointing. The drums are a bit sloppy and the singer’s voice is not my cup of tea. The rest of the band is ok.
LiberationAnathema – Violence: This starts out beautifully and then starts building up greatly, but then the drums come in and kill the mood a little bit. The transition from that to the piano section doesn’t have a good flow. After that the song is soothing but a little boring.
CupVan der Graff Generator – Childlike Faith in Childhood’s End: Classic prog is really good at setting moods. I like how the song changes, going from softer to more wild sections but I get the feeling that they are trying too hard to throw prog at you in the face.
ZxlkhoOceansize – Ornament, The Last Wrongs: The song starts out really soothing then goes into a cyclothymic section that really intense. A powerful yet really nice song. And the vocal melody is just beautiful.
RavenheartUnicorn – Hiding Again: I’m in love with this song. The piano and flute flow together beautifully for the intro, and then the instrumental part comes in to take the song to a new level just to flow right into a softer side again and then back up. When I thought the song just couldn’t get better, the female vocals come in and by god her voice is great.
