I heard of this band before somewhere but never listened to them, unfortunately. Because this hits so many areas I like, it has thick atmosphere, some subtle electronic elements, heaviness. I almost did singing guessing game this round and this was really fun to sing but I had trouble with the part I wanted to sing (scream)
it's that sick ending
really really great stuff all around. Actually, I didn't expect that ending after more than half song being really mellow and on more of an ambient side.
Home, you're in the final round with Curtains by Arcane Roots, get ready to send me an EP (for realz this time
).
Another band I heard of (and heard before) but this seemed a bit different. More Leprous-y than doom-y (don't know why I expected stoner/doom). And it's another example where some of you played on my love of atmospheric music, I couldn't eliminate this even if I wanted to
I didn't hear Leprous comparison at first but I definitely hear it now, especially in singer's style and that Ooooohs at the end. I hope their other songs sound like this because this is just fine. I wouldn't say it's awesome but it's just fine, I'd like to hear more (and I like it more than the song I received in my v1).
It's Vangough's Knell, sent by LordCost. Congrats, you're in final round
And then there's a song I had hard time getting into, it seemed really boring for first few listens and I was mainly listening to it in the background. Once I really tried to concentrate on it, I started to get it and see it's beauty. I even think I tried to listen one of their songs earlier but it didn't stick. I'd compare it with Agalloch's The Mantle, the folk metal album with post-rock elements. It's also the one I had hard time getting into, hope I'll feel in love with this as well, because it's something I should like. BTW the ending isn't my favorite, I like the atmospheric part with spoken samples the best.
Train, you're saved by the bell, your Kin by KAUAN barely made it but you're in for the finals.
Unfortunately, I had to eliminate one of you. And I liked this song quite a bit. But contrary to some other songs (Kin in this round), I liked this from the start. The problem is, it started to get annoying the more I listened to it
You sent some pop songs but this, on the moments, sounds like some song from commercial. It's not really that bad, I just have to justify why I'm eliminating your song. So yeah, nothing more to say, I guess you wouldn't be eliminated if someone actually sent the song I didn't like it all.
