The Walrus
Aquaria
Expedition
Skies of Amazonia
Your Majesty Gaia
5 points


This has got all of the over-the-top elements you expect in power metal, but they don’t seem to work as well as your other power metal submissions. Both the synth driven instrumental sections and the choir-esque vocals feel a bit obligatory but not particularly engaging. The vocalist is quite good, but apart from the chorus of Expedition, most of the melodies don’t do too much for me. None of it is bad, but not much of it sticks with me either.



okay but for real you're getting Big Garbage for the last round now

Also HOF Kalypso rules. That song has grown on me since you sent it in my roulette. That's a slow burn for sure.

Sweet! That ending gets me every time.

Luoto
Palehørse
Dead Wrong
Pale Horse
Darken Waters
Quicksand
6 points

This band is an interesting mix of some more straight-forward metal/hard rock with a number of extreme metal elements. The vocalist is the real attraction here; he’s got a really powerful mid-range yell, but he handles the screams really well too. I think the band is at their best when he’s really belting out choruses, like in Dead Wrong or Darken Waters. Dead Wrong is also where I think they use all the disparate elements of their sound to the best effect, and they tend to lose me a bit in some parts of the other songs, although the vocalist is always impressive regardless.

Big choruses have a lot to do with why I chose those songs, though I hoped the overall groove would get more points.

I also sent for the final round, and these results partly inspired the band decision.

11 of 15 in so far, not bad, gentlemen. Ideally we'll return to the Saturday results schedule, and then we'll be done until I do another one of these in five years.
