So... hi, everyone! I didn't know when to start a roulette so I figured it's best to do it now. This first week might be a bit slow but it should be fine after that.
Everyone is free to join and I'll see if there'll be preliminary round, let's say I want 10 people max. Also, I'd like to see some new participants, those who didn't play in my v1. Don't be scared, I'm open for all kinds of music
As of format, it'll be simple one-man-per-round-elimination and EP round in the end. Every round is for itself. e.g. if you send the best songs in 3 rounds and completely fail in 4th, you're out! Here's table:
ROUND 1 - ROUND 6 - elimination rounds
ROUND 7 - EP round (more later)

Rules-I prefer files (MP3, FLAC, whatever) but Youtube and Spotify are fine as well
-once sent, band is banned in future rounds
-there won't be any time limits but don't send long song just for sake of it, please (and keep in mind I don't like very long songs too much)
-I start listening 48 hours after the results (unless otherwise stated) so send on time

Tastes:My tastes didn't change that much since last roulette but in case you don't know, here are some of my favorite genres and bands I've been diggin lately:
Progressive:
I like both rock and metal, lately mostly modern stuff like Leprous, Fair to Midland, The Dear Hunter, Mastodon. I have to mention I don't like overly technical stuff that much anymore (and I wouldn't mind if you didn't send it at all
).
Other bands: DT, Fates Warning, Riverside, Porcupine Tree...
Indie:
I guess I don't listen to it as much as I used to but there are bands I often come back to: Bon Iver, The Smiths, The Antlers, Brand New, The Hotelier...
Black metal:I don't like 2nd wave but the modern stuff which is more emotional and just beautiful. I dig folky stuff the most. You know it if you ever heard Agalloch, Moonsorrow, Thy Light...
Heavy/Power Metal:
Not my thing lately but you can try. I still love bands like Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Sonata Arctica...
