First pairing was separated by almost nothing. Both songs had decent choruses let down by weaknesses elsewhere; Amberian Dawn sounds like something that was left off Dark Passion Play (so I'm a bit surprised they didn't get Diesel's support), and would've taken my vote had it note been for that...
Damn, I could barely pick between the first two. Warlock had all the 80s appeal, and I finally understand why people like Doro, but for me Hermann takes it with a well-judged balance between riffing and melody (am I the only one who doesn't mind his voice?).
Despite sharing 50% of their name...
