Tierra Santa - Azote De Dios

Nightwish - I picked the live version with Floor because she's so much better than Tarja. Of course, the song is awesome, hence first vote goes to Nemo!
Nocturnal Rites - Cool song! Cool riffs, but the chorus is kinda weak
Seventh Wonder - Meh, don't like this guy's vocals, sounds too feminine, plus the music itself isn't really good.
Tad Morose - One of my favorites... great riffs and vocals. Second vote here.
Tierra Santa - Afraid To Shoot Strangers main melody Cool song tho. Quite Maidenish.

Nocturnal Rites - Cool song! Cool riffs, but the chorus is kinda weak

Awesome main riff, which comes back in the chorus. And: *cough, cough* The solo dude, the solo!
One of the best of the whole game.

Tierra Santa - Afraid To Shoot Strangers main melody Cool song tho. Quite Maidenish.

Bombastic stuff eh? Love that mid part. When you think it's over it only gets better and better.

Nightwish and Seventh Wonder.

Seventh Wonder - Meh, don't like this guy's vocals, sounds too feminine, plus the music itself isn't really good.

His voice is definitely lighter here, but he does sometimes have that Steve Perry tone going on, though. Love this band.

Nightwish of course. I think I prefer this to the Tarja studio version. Nocturnal Rights start out very promising but lose a bit of momentum somewhere along the way, although yes, that solo sort of saves the day. I'll give them a vote. Tierra Santa have a whole lot of Maiden going on in there!

 

[Unknown One]

Nightwish and Tierra Santa are very very good. Noctural Rites is also good but a little behind the first two. Wasn't huge on Tad Morose and Seventh Wonder sounds like a boy band.

Nemo wins Round 35!
