Submissions from Ravenheart in the order he gave them to me:
Swallow the Sun - Out of This Gloomy Light
Insomnium - In the Halls of Awaiting
VAST - Here
My Dying Bride - Your Shameful Heaven
How Like a Winter - A Flower that Sears in Silence
Submissions from Orcus116 in the order he gave them to me:
Isis - Hall of the Dead
Oceansize - Part Cardiac
Red Fang - Wires
Red Sparowes - Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In
Russian Circles - Xavii
It was an interesting match-up of styles, Ravenheart stuck to the death metal guns that have gotten him this far, and Orcus116 went with a little more variety.
The way I did this is I put songs in tiers, and tried to judge based on that.
Both had two songs in the "Good" category:
Ravenheart: Insomnium - In the Halls of Waiting and How Like a Winter - A Flower That Sears in Silence
Orcus116: Russian Circles - Xavii and Isis - Hall of the Dead
Both had two songs in the "OK" category:
Ravenheart: My Dying Bride - Your Shameful Heaven and VAST - Here
Orcus116: Oceansize - Part Cardiac and Red Fang - Wires
and I have to admit, I've heard several Oceansize songs before from people trying to get me to like them, and that might have been the best one so far.
That leaves one song from each. Red Sparowes - Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In from Orcus was a notch below "OK".
Swallow the Sun - Out of This Gloomy Light was...*drumroll*
in GOD territory. After 3 listens, I ordered the album, and another one from the band on amazon.
With that, I taser Orcus, throw him in to The Sun Cannon and fire his ass into the Sun.
Congratuations Ravenheart. A well deserved win, sending 2 of my 3 favorite songs from this roulette (Swallow the Sun and Dan Swano), with Gleem in Ranks by maudlin of the Well being the other one, courtesy of Sigz.
