wolfking's roulette to end all roulettes v. Kip Winger approved!

[Crow]

the black mages - maybe i'm a lion

wow didn't see the next page

[Elite]

I'm also curious as to what the three bonus bands/songs are that people apparently submitted. Will you reveal those (partly) or do we have to wait until the results before we find out?

[wolfking]

Alright, here are the 3 bonus bands that were submitted;

Meshuggah - 7. Popular swedish extreme metal band, not sure if I would like them or not, oh and did I say they were popular, cause they are, very.

Anubis Gate - 8. Progressive metal band from Denmark, cool name with 2 words in the title and 6 albums

Native Construct - 9. Three piece that released their debut last year, they are from America

[Crow]

yup, figured that was #9

[Train of Naught]

Native Construct and Meshuggah were the only ones I knew off that list, I figured they would both likely not do too good, but that's what the bonus song is for

I wish I could get into Meshuggah, they seem to get a lot of love but I just don't get it. I kinda like the main riff in Bleed but only for about 10 seconds

[Elite]

You have to get soaked into Meshuggah really, and be in the mood for it. Sometimes I can't listen to more than two tracks in a row, sometimes I can listen to a whole album. Their music is very hyptonosing, but in a brutal kind-of way. If you can get past the 8-stringer guitars and vocals, there's actually a lot to their music. Very technical, especially rhythmically.

[jingle.boy]

yup, figured that was #8

[TAC]

Not familiar with any of those bands.

[Dr. DTVT]

I would have considered sending Anubis Gate myself.

Don't worry, there's another bonus band that's more up your alley

[Dr. DTVT]

I haven't even tried to figure out the bonus bands.  I'm kicking most of your asses just fine as it is.

And now Kade will stop liking my submissions.  Damn hubris.

[Evermind]

Yeah, I sent Anubis Gate. Figured it won't hurt me one bit since it's basically an additional song to go with my original entry. Really nothing to lose here.

Sounds like you are doubting yourself now Mason.

[wolfking]

Here's some thoughts.  Results tomorrow morning or lunch, so that's....errr.....20 hours or so from now.  Not all songs represented here and some bonus bands in there also;

I was fully expecting not to really like this, but this song is fucking brilliant.

It kept my interest and the guitar solo was particularly blazing

I just couldn't get my head around it and I couldn't listen to it more than twice.

Loved everything about this, great groove and just solid from start to finish

Pretty generic and standard power metal chorus but that's fine with me

Love the super heavy riff after the solo too, crushing

Once I got use to them, I really fucking liked this

Might even re spark my interest in this sort of music.

[Crow]

well meshuggah scored high 
only one of those is really negative tho and i know it's not mine but these aren't descriptive enough for me to tell

[wolfking]

well meshuggah scored high 

It did?

[Crow]

or they could be the one really negative one there too I guess, I'll be shocked if they're not either the first or third there 

[Bolsters]

Not sure which of those is mine (as usual).

[Evermind]

I just couldn't get my head around it and I couldn't listen to it more than twice.

Native Construct.

[Train of Naught]

Native Construct.

Probably Ca-Ra-Zu

[Lowdz]

I would have considered sending Anubis Gate myself.

They were on my list. Think I send them in Chad's last roulette.

[bl5150]

No idea if mine is in those tidbits.

[Elite]

I hope mine is in the tidbits.

[Lowdz]

Mine could be in there. I certainly didn't send anything challenging though 

[Train of Naught]

Might even re spark my interest in this sort of music.

I'm curious about this one, I thought we were all sending rock and metal here?

[Evermind]

Maybe it's about generic progressive metal.

[Train of Naught]

My band is like progressive metalcore or something but I like to think it qualifies as "generic powermetal" because that seemed like a pretty positive tidbit

[jingle.boy]

After last round where there were a lot of harsh comments, there's a lot of positivity there.  Good work team.

This one is mine.

That's right.

[wolfking]

This was overall a very strong round, very consistent too.

Well, that's awesome for you; possibly not so awesome for those trying to jump over the cut line, or move up in the standings.  My goal is to make it to the double song round, but being in 6th at the moment, with almost 2 full points to make up in two rounds, it's gonna be tough.  Not only to I have to fend of Tim, but I have to leap-frog Paul and Ruslan.  Ain't gonna be easy.

[TAC]

So, are there cuts after this round? if so, how many?

[TAC]

Standing after round 5;

Dr. DTVT - 44.4
bl5150 - 44.4
Big Hath - 43.8
Evermind - 43.7
lowdz - 42.8
jingle.boy - 41.9
TAC - 41.7
jjrock88 - 40.0
lonestar - 38.4
Train of Naut - 38.3
Bolsters - 38.2
Elite - 36.7
Parama - 34.8

Okay last round before 5 get cut.   

Never mind. I got it.
