Tristania "Illumintion" Survivor [Round Three]

Website · by **Mylostlenore** » Sat May 26, 2012 11:00 pm

This survivor may be a lot slower than most survivors as it's quite an obscure album from a band that not many people have heard of.

So nobody's posted yet. Should I go onto round two or wait for some people to vote?

I think you might be struggling in this survivor as I'm not sure how many people will have heard of this album or the act behind it, and people won't be rushing to listen to songs simply to take part in a survivor.

I think you nailed it right on. It's quite an obscure album. Shame really, I actually quite like it. I knew that this survivor might take a lot longer than others because a lot of the other albums are more known out there.

Don't close this just yet, I've downloaded this one and will give it a listen tonight while I'm in bed and will try to vote tomorrow.

Thank you.

At least I'm not doing a survivor by myself. 8-)

Mercyside wins that round. Sanguine Sky is out. Right onto round two.

Open Ground vs The Ravens

My vote goes for The Ravens. :wink:

Oh I didn't realise I thought we were voting the song out not to stay. :lol:

Oh well...

Maybe they might have a chance in the wildcard round.

I think the reason this survivor is struggling is because of the genre to be honest, metal isn't exactly #1 choice on UKMIX. :lol:

I'm going to be doing one for Devin Townsend in the future who is fab and I know you like him too.

Metal is pretty underrated on the forums.

Looking forward to that survivor. Should be great.

Yeah it is I agree.

I'll be doing the album "Ziltoid The Omniscient" I love that so much, it's fantastic.

The Ravens win round 2.

Round Three: Destination Departure vs Down

This round is hard because these two are my favourites from the album, but I think I'll go for Destination Departure.
