The Possibility of Torture is my new Grindcore band name

FlyingBIZKIT: Little Tybee – “A Dog Waits in the Doorway”
A little impression of a song, barely enough for me to latch my teeth onto.

This is a nice little song, but there’s really not much here for me to play around with. It feels like the first track or last track on an album, set there for the sole purpose of setting or leaving the stage. Unfortunately, then, despite enjoying it alright, I’m left looking for some kind of payoff. How can I say this in a way you’ll understand… Ah, here you go—this song is all foreplay and no penetration. Nice and gentle foreplay, sure, but still just foreplay. 5.5

Too bad for you, foreplay is the best part of sex. Blueballing is a lifestyle, my friend.

I'm on vacation. Can we start the next round next week.. ?

No way.

No delays! Chop chop!

Evermind · « **Reply #1022 on:** July 24, 2019, 10:36:09 PM »

Well okay then, that's about three points more than I expected. Definitely don't start with the EP, I'd recommend either Odonata or, well, Evermind.

I also almost sent Bowie last round, but I like that Leonard Cohen album a bit more, and I'm not a big fan of I Can't Give Everything Away.

Female growls?

Though that was a joke

ariich · « **Reply #1024 on:** July 25, 2019, 04:02:39 AM »

Go group C! Although it does mean our standings basically haven't changed.

Yeah I thought/hoped you'd like Karmakanic more than The Flower Kings. Like I said in my submission, I love some of TFK's stuff, but it can be pretty indulgent and meandering. Karmakanic especially on that album are more tight and focused, and generally have more engaging vocals.

Interested to see what theme Nekov comes up with.

Nekov · « **Reply #1025 on:** July 25, 2019, 05:02:00 AM »

Damn this group is tough

. I didn't know how well that song would go but I had to try something different. As far as the theme, I had thought of one that would greatly benefit me and screw the other guys, but Seneca would probably suffer from it. Let me see if I can come up with something else and I'll let you know.

If you decide to go for something else, do let us know what it would have been because I'm curious now.

When next week are you talking? Monday?

Im happy to give you extra time to submit , but it would be good to get your theme today so your group doesnt have to wait.

Nekov · « **Reply #1029 on:** July 25, 2019, 05:50:05 AM »

Theme and song sent

LordCost · « **Reply #1030 on:** July 25, 2019, 06:30:19 AM »

Theme and song sent!
I guessed correctly my first impression and given that comment I was prepared for a 5. I never imagined to win this round.
I like better other songs in the same album, Ruba's theme forced me to choose Solstice. In another roulette a song that simple wouldn't have worked well, I think.

Now I am sending a song I really like and i will obviously fail

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #1031 on:** July 25, 2019, 07:29:41 AM »

Round 6 THEMES

A: Grief/Mourning
B: Female Growls
C: Songs with wind instrument solos
D: Songs containing screaming. I would like to warn that scream is different from growls, songs with growls and not screams are not allowed.

Nekov · « **Reply #1032 on:** July 25, 2019, 07:32:17 AM »

This is going to be a weird round

Wind instrument solos? Fucking game on, that is right in my wheelhouse, Nekov. Will send soon.

Evermind · « **Reply #1035 on:** July 25, 2019, 07:37:06 AM »

Can we have a few examples of screaming from Nelson's banned list? Just so we're clear what counts.

Hopefully LordCost will pitch in with his thoughts on this, but I'm pretty liberal in my definition of screaming.

These are the first songs that came to mind: Circle Takes the Square - "Enter By The Narrow Gates" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1aZCb8puLM and Converge - "Fault and Fracture" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38m1NXeQP4E (Warning though... I don't like Converge)

But I would also accept plenty of songs that are less harsh on the ears, such as something like La Dispute's Fulton Street I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkgBqpPDlps or Brand New's Gasoline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLKM3AZJ6ag

I'd also permit a lot of black metal vocals, provided they're closer to raspy, hoarse shrieks than gargling growls. Think Alcest's "Percees De Lumiere" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-kW-rxzJ_0

If it sounds like Opeth, it's a nope-eth.

Yes. If it sounds like Opeth, it is definitely banned.

ETA: Last theme has been added to the list.

Ah fuck... why couldn't I be in Group A. I got a 10-bell song for that theme.

Yeah that's definitely the easiest theme this round, but I think overall the four themes complement each other really well. Should be some dark stuff across the board.

Anyone that gets all 4 themes this time ought to go straight to the finals.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #1043 on:** July 25, 2019, 08:25:56 AM »

I can easily hit 3 of the themes, but probably not all 4. The wind instrument solo is throwing me off.

Yeah I have a really good one that ticks off three boxes, but not the female vocals.

Crow · « **Reply #1047 on:** July 25, 2019, 09:23:08 AM »

it's incredibly unfortunate that The Reticent were already sent because Funeral For a Firefly would be the round winner here

Circle Takes the Square - "Enter By The Narrow Gates"

This kinda sounds like growls to me.

I'm kidding, I think I actually get it. LordCost, can you confirm if this kind of vocals would fit? I have a few options if so.

ariich · « **Reply #1049 on:** July 25, 2019, 12:54:09 PM »

Ok, my main options are trumpet, sax, or.. bagpipes.

Should everyone in Round 8 have to send the same type of submission?
