Sorry for the delay, but nonetheless: Round Two Results
This was a really great round. I liked every song sent my way at least a little.
#11: Rhapsody in Blue-George Gershwin; Lucien
Another peculiar choice. Lol I liked the piano solo in the middle, but this wasn't really what I was looking for, hence its placement. Still good though!
#10: Interstellar-Amplifier; LordCost
It was pretty hard ranking them from here till the 5th spot cuz I really like all of them. This one has a great groove throughout. It felt a little repetitive at times, but I enjoyed it overall.
#9 Flaming Row- Rage of Despair; Scorpion
This one has a great heavy groove to it. Great power and energy in this song. It sounds like there's a male and female vocalist in the band? I might be wrong but that's what I hear. If it's just a female vocalist and she does the screaming then that's double awesome lol.
#8: Thunder Kiss '65- White Zombie; DR. DTVT
Well, you're right about the groove being awesome. Thick groove that flows throughout the entire song. Real nice flow to the song. The vocals are eh, but I still enjoyed it.
#7: Addict- Destiny Potato; mikemanjioy
I Mean that's just an awesome band name. Lol this is one of 2 Destiny Potato songs I received this round. I really like their sound and this song has got an awesome flow to it. Vocals are great, riffs are great, djent is djenty. I hear a strong Periphery influence in this one. Great choice.
#6: Soft Bomb Salad-I Mother Earth; kingschmegland
I love the flow to this song. It's such a great flow and the guitar that kicks in around 3:30 is really groovy.
#5: In Memoriam- Haken; Sacul
I remember seeing The Mountain on JP's, JR's, MP's and JLB's top 10 lists of last year so I checked out a few songs. I LOVED Pareidoilla and liked Cockroach King. This is another really great song off that album that I hadn't listened to before this round. Think I'm gonna have to buy this album, cuz these guys are awesome.
#4: Love Song-Destiny Potato; Tom Bombadil
The better of the 2 DP songs of this round, this one has an awesome riff and flow. The part around 3:55 is amazing. I'm gonna have to check this band out too. They sound really promising.
#3: No Way Out-Thoughts Factory; lonestar
The next 3 are super close in ratings. This one has an AWESOME opening riff and it's just an overall awesome song. HUGE DT influence. The keyboard solo sounds like one of JR's patches. Great choice.
#2: The Morning Light-Voyager; senecadawg2
The beginning....Is that....is that The TERMINATOR?? Lol it has the exact same pattern as the Terminator theme. The main riff is killer. Love the chorus in this song and the overall feel of the song. Really powerful and uplifting.
#1: Halo-Machine Head; Destiny of Chaos
Nailed it. This song is fucking awesome. Heavy, groovy, powerful. Exactly what I was looking for. The minute long buildup into the main in the beginning is worth the payoff. Vocals kind of remind me of a heavier Adrenaline Mob. The chorus is really awesome and the breakdown a little after the middle of the song is killer. Excellent pick.
Roulette Standings thus far:
1. senecadawg2-21
2. Destiny of Chaos-20
3. lonestar- 19
4. Tom Bombadil-16
5. Sacul-14

10. Lucien/LordCost-3
Round Three: THE JUGGERNAUT
Title says it all. Send me the heaviest shit you got. My favorite heavy songs are The Glass Prison, Bridges in the Sky, As I Am, Caught In A Web, Lie, and The Enemy Inside (DT), Zyglrox, The Walk, and MAKE TOTAL DESTROY (Periphery), (sic), Eyeless and Sarcastrophe (Slipknot, among countless others from Metallica and other bands from my banned list. I was a metal fan before I was a prog fan, so I like me some heavy. I want songs with such balls they blow my dick off. MAKE IT HAPPEN. You have until Tuesday next week.
