Twosuitsluke's Second Roulette v. Final Results Part 2

[Buddyhunter1]

Soooo how much do you like Opeth?

[Crow]

almost certainly one of the last two, especially the funky bass one

[TAC]

Xanthrochoid has funky bass?

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Is this Lars drumming?

This better not be Lykathea Aflame...

[TAC]

Is this Lars drumming?

This better not be Lykathea Aflame...

It might be.

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Is this Lars drumming?

This better not be Lykathea Aflame...

It might be.

Tomáš Corn is an amazing drummer.

Tomáš Corn is an amazing drummer.

So is Lars.

No no no, Lars used to be a good drummer. Keywords being "used to".....

[TAC]

Never heard of Tomas Corn. Who was the previous drummer, Josef Bean? Henrik Pea?

[wolfking]

This has that early 00s New Wave of American Heavy Metal sound. Guitar solo should be longer!

You've got balls kid, I respect that. My thoughts went from 'nope' to 'this is actually a bit like something I enjoy'.

Feel like I've heard it all before, which could go one of two ways.

Maybe one of these?

[TAC]

Any impression that involves the work "kid" is Sacul. 

[Sacul]

ok boomer

[TAC]

 

[King Postwhore]

ok boomer

That's too nice.

OK, Crankshaft.

[TAC]

Shit, even I'm a kid to you!

[King Postwhore]

Timmy, please.

I may be a year older but you are an old curmudgeon at heart.  Lol

[TAC]

Timmy, please.

I may be a year older but you are an old curmudgeon at heart.  Lol

I think it's only 6 months.

[King Postwhore]

Yet emotionally,  so far apart you old bastard. Love you youngster. Lol

[wolfking]

Any impression that involves the work "kid" is Sacul. 

I instantly thought it could have been mine because of the 'kid' remark.  Was thinking it's a play on the whole 38 vs 39 age thing we have a joke about with each other.  I could be reading that entirely wrong however, which is more than likely.

That pingy snare was St. Anger before St. Anger.

I dug that earthy rhythm section with bassist Frederik Oatsson. 

[King Postwhore]

You're confusing TAC more. Stop it.

[twosuitsluke]

Hauntingly beautiful and sci fi? Who'd have thought this would work.

Puppies: Is this Lars drumming?

Buddy: Kinda like Opeth, with weirder instruments.

Litho: Wolverine Blues era Entombed playing punk, but the vocals are screechier! No surprises what this one is.

Nick_z: Vocals are a bit dreary, and why can't he enunciate? Guitars sound lovely though.

I've already spun this album a few times this year, it's good but can it reach 'great'?

TAC: Ahh, you went the opposite direction this time (well at least for two thirds of it).

This has that early 00s New Wave of American Heavy Metal sound. Guitar solo should be longer!

You've got balls kid, I respect that. My thoughts went from 'nope' to 'this is actually a bit like something I enjoy'.

Ariich: Like a less Industrial Rammstein fronted by the singer from Bent Knee? Seems accurate.

Feel like I've heard it all before, which could go one of two ways.

Well this is better I remembered it! Epic and brutal in the best way. Reminds me a bit of Ihsahn.

In the words of Coheed and Cambria "What did I do to deserve,
What did I do to deserve,
This? this?"

I don't actually really know anything about this band, but I know this is some funky ass bass.

Maybe it's the cheesiness I like.

Soooo how much do you like Opeth?

I love Opeth! But Opeth imitators...

It is one of these, how confident are you after quickfire rounds 1-4?

Is this mine?
It's about the only one that makes sense, except if it's the 'What did I do to deserve this?' comment

Which is it? 

You're confusing TAC more. Stop it.

He's certainly overdue a 'what's [insert pop culture reference]?'

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Is this Lars drumming?

This better not be Lykathea Aflame...

Lars wishes he could drum that well. As far as the snare sound on that Lykathea Aflame album, I love it!

[Crow]

what about my guesses 

[twosuitsluke]

Yea the drumming was obviously really good. I didn't hate the snare sound, and for the record I have no problem with St Anger. I will say that it is a very, err... prominent sound in this song 

what about my guesses 

almost certainly one of the last two, especially the funky bass one

Yours is not either of the last two, sorry to burst your bubble. Do you really think yours is cheesy? On reflection, yours also does have funky bass.

[Elite]

All I want to do is see The Neverending Story with you

Incase you missed this Luke.

  No I don't miss it. In hindsight maybe I should start calling you kid, but this one isn't yours. It's not Sacul either. One of your other guesses was right by the way.

Now, get of my lawn whippersnapper

[wolfking]

The two ways one.

[TAC]

The two ways one.

[twosuitsluke]

The two ways one.

Yours is the early 00s New Wave of American Heavy Metal one. That's the sound I hear. Not sure if you think that's a good thing or not?

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Interesting, I'd heard of Orpheus Omega before, but hadn't checked them out.  That was probably my favorite song of this round.  Not sure I hear NWOAHM myself.  No clean vocals, and a bit heavier, but the melodicism and synths are more in line with some of the later wave power metal-influenced melodeath bands like Blood Stain Child, D Creation, Code For Silence and such.  Or a bit of mid-00s Illdisposed.

I used them on my Puppies Concept Album.

[Buddyhunter1]

I love Opeth! But Opeth imitators...

Eh I wouldn't say that, the song I sent is heavier than anything post-Watershed but more overtly proggy than anything pre-Heritage.

You all should be able to guess mine pretty easily now.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Barren Earth, I'm pretty sure.  More of an Opeth-Amorphis blend. 

I guess the melodeath components in Orpheus Omega have things in common with Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Trivium, and such from the NWOAHM, but the lack of -core elements and the presence of more Europower melodies and keyboards put it in a quite different wing.  I suppose this is all quibbling about relatively minor differences, but this stuff is important to me.
