Sermon

Seneca sent Caroline's Spine?

Draconian

[ariich]

Seneca sent Caroline's Spine?

He did not.

[twosuitsluke]

Seneca sent Caroline's Spine?

He did not.

HOF?

Mount Eerie
The Native Howl

Dude, my constant edits means you missed my guess of The Omega Experiment 

[Luoto]

Obscure Sphinx

Void
The Presence of Goddess

[ariich]

[Luoto]

If there was a 30 minute round, whoever sent that would've 100% added "Decimation" in there. That's a cool thematic suite.

[wolfking]

Once Human

[TAC]

Sermon is Glssser

[jingle.boy]

Let's have an L

[ariich]

Sermon is Glssser

Sermon is not Glssser, or indeed Glasser either.

[King Postwhore]

N

[HOF]

Slow Fall?

[lonestar]

Omega Experiment tracks are Terminus and Stimulus. Great fucking album. 

[TAC]

Moon tooth- Reaper?

Vandroya- I’d say Chad but I’m pretty sure it’s not him

[lonestar]

All my playlist are set except for Rd 2, which will be akin to picking my favorite children out of 14. Just got to sort out an EP and I can sit back and watch the victory unfold.

I’ve sent my Round 2 already but have yet to start on the other rounds. Just compiling bands at this point.

Yeah, it was really easy for me, I knew off the cuff 4 of the bands I wanted to send, then I'll pick through the rest for the EP. The two other rounds I filled out with non-Japanese bands to give at least a little variety lol. Definitely not afraid of being blocked out, of all these bands the only one ever submitted in a roulette was by me, and the rest are pretty much lonestar exclusives that haven't even been mentioned on this forum. (except by me of course lol)

I actually feel pretty good with most of it, only round 4 makes me a bit nervous, but based on how much Rich digs Gacharic Spin, Nemophila, and Lonesome Blue, I feel pretty good about making a respectable showing.

[ariich]

Well you're wrong because it is him.

Perhaps, although how much I like something is not very much based genre but key features like those mentioned in the OP and ultimately often comes down to melodic hooks. Not just you but a general caution really, "Rich likes band x, so he'll probably like band y from the same genre" isn't really how it works.

Besides, Lonesome Blue barely sound Japanese.

Anyway, all updated.

Tbh...a huge swath of the genre clicks like that....I keep finding killer band after killer band...it's relentless. I was talking with a dude in the Nemophila line who has been in the circles for a few years longer than me, and he says it has to do with Japanese kids having mandatory musical theory education in every year they're in school, so they are so much further along than a lot of other countries where it's treated more as an elective if it's even available (*cough cough USA*), so that of course translates to every band being just a bit more polished and cohesive.

For sure, the talent of these bands is undeniable, but I'm so far finding that they don't all stand out with writing music that necessarily grabs me. But I don't know that many, so I am looking forward to what you have in store for me.

Anyway, Elite's entry has been added in to the hangman.

Fucking finally lol

[ariich]

In fairness he sent me something last night but had forgotten it was multi-song submissions and I thought I should give him a chance to expand his submission from one 3-minute song.

[King Postwhore]

Fucking expansion. Lol

[ariich]

I've updated the hangman with an extra letter for you.

First impressions will be pretty soon once I've had a chance to listen to what t'other Rich sent me.

[wolfking]

Birds in Row

[wolfking]

H.

[Sacul]

Obscure Sphinx

Void
The Presence of Goddess

Buddy.

Some of the Mount Eerie songs are Real Death and Seaweed. Seneca?

[wolfking]

Panzerballett.

[ariich]

Yep, yep and yep - all updated.

[lonestar]

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out who sent Omega Experiment...could've sworn they were a lonestar exclusive.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Good choice on Panzerballett. 

Deafheaven?

Vmad sent Once Human?

[ariich]

By the way some stats for the round 1 submissions.

Submission length:
Average = 17:27
Shortest = 11:57
Longest = 19:51
Number of submissions over 19 minutes = 5

Number of songs:
Average = 3.4
Most = 6
Fewest = 1
Number of submissions with 3-4 songs = 17

Previous experience:
Number of artists I've heard something by before = 4
Number of those I've rated an album by = 2

Interested to see how these change from round to round, particularly any variations between heavy and light rounds.

[ariich]

Good choice on Panzerballett. 

Deafheaven?

Vmad sent Once Human?

Yep.

Updated with one more vowel for you. Heading to bed now so will leave you to it, and will post first impressions tomorrow.
