train are you doing it such that whoever sends the very worst track is out or will it be the weakest average of both tracks?
Weakest average
I'm almost ready guys, prepare!
This is basically Alcest + Agalloch, and on paper I should really dig that. But sometimes, even if all boxes are ticked off something just doesn't click. For me personally, it could be that Alcest mostly makes use of their high clean vocals when accompanied by the lighter guitar tones, and go into the growls when the instrumentals get more dark and brooding. Here it feels a bit contradictory with the light psychedelic tones and harsh vocals combined. This did grow on me though.
Well, they're compared to Ill Nino on Spotify and that definitely makes sense, those tribal vocal noises he makes reminds me of them (and Down With the Sickness lol). In conclusion, this was a really catchy song, definitely one that got stuck in my head a lot during this round, but I'm not sure that was for the better. The guitarwork was pretty sick and had a nice groove to it, but I just don't know if this can really compete with what I've been given this round.
I think I have to give the edge to the atmospheric Agalloch-like tune in favour of the nu-metal track here. Sorry Luke, you've come far, but at this point the competition was too strong.
1. King Goat - Conduit
2. Der Weg Einer Freiheit - Finisterre
3. Allegaeon - Proponent for Sentience II - The Algorithm
4. Norma Jean - Hive Minds
5. Morari - I Dream of Flight
6. Skindred - Nobody
I hope you can all still send before the end of the weekend, this round's description is in the OP, you have to send me 2 songs (no flow points awarded). Weakest average will be eliminated.
