Second Kipressions
First impressions;
Lonk - Pretty stripped back and raw black metal and nothing fancy, but gets the job done.
Litho - Some really nice elements here, but I'm not sure on it just yet. That solo though....
romdrums - Quite generic for the style but still solid.
Crow - Wow, this is excellent.
Stadler - Fantastic. Some awkward melodies but love the atmosphere, plus the solo....of course.
Puppies - Damn, some of these vocals even make me feel uncomfortable!
ariich - Pretty safe submission when it comes to my taste here but strong and as expected.
Sacul - In my OP I said I was looking for unique, interesting music with something different. Well, you delivered.
Jingle - If I was bordering on depression before, I certainly have it now.
Reaper - Jeez, this kind of just dragged the whole way through.
Evermind - Wasn't sure at first but this has a very cool dark gloomy atmosphere and potential to grow.
twosuitluke - Not sure these vocals or the melodies are going to get this across the mark unfortunately
Dr. DTVT - Pretty standard but was a nice enough listen.
TAC - Wasn't too wowed by this on first listen, but the guitar playing may change that.
Indiscipline - I can hear a lot of different influences here, and when the second half hit...'damn'!!
lonestar - Fucking hell, talk about testing my limitations straight out of the gates!!
Shadow Ninja - Yeah, not sure about this one.
KingKing - I know you're high on these guys and I've tried them before, they didn't stick then and not sure if they will now. Some nice moments though.
Second impressions;
Might not reveal these until final writeups, unless you guys really want to know. Will have writeups posted Wednesday morning. (about 48 hours from now)
I guess there's a reason why there's not many metalcore bands on my banned list.
Indi - Has a nice knack of mixing some acrobatics with some melodies that really stick.
TAC - I still don't know where I sit with this one, thought it would grow more.
This is pleasant enough really for what it is.
Actually, this is growing a little more than I thought it would.
This one grew a lot more than I thought it would.
Nah, can't do this at all.
Yep, you read what I wrote in my OP for tastes and seem to find something to nail where I'm at currently.
This one gets better and better, maybe being so different from most of the rest helps.
Yeah, just really solid black metal.
Even though I squirm in my chair listening to this, something keeps drawing me back to it.
This is nice enough to listen to, but is that enough?
Shadow Ninja - I can't get into this. I like what it's trying to do, but it's just not doing it for me.
While this is solid enough, it's quite forgettable. I enjoy it when it's playing but don't get searching for it.
Yep, really love the unique interesting structure here.
Just nothing new here at all that tickles my fancy.
Yeah, it's safe, but very enjoyable.
This is still most excellent, some wonderful melodies and atmosphere too
