Fun Facts from the bands that didn't make it - Highlights
I - Vintersorg
So as per my made up rules, you don't actually need a fun fact for this section. It just helps catch my interest :p. Anyways, Vintersorg caugt my eye cus 1; Swedish Language and 2; I'd been meaning to get into them for a while anyways. They'd been stuck on one song purgatory for way too much of my playlist's history (Lågornas Rov). Now fits anyways, cus I've been delving into more harsh vocals as of late. Anyways, Folk Melodeath in a way that's much more atmospheric than the likes of other such names like Æther Realm is quite the fun mixture.
II - Uuhai
#i also want an uuhai bracket >:D#too bad they literally don't have an album out yet
Not technically a submission because, well, they're not tournament legal currently. But damn, are they good. Might have to be my favourite mongol band currently, and that's saying something when the first band this blog had was The HU. It's just such a wonderful style to mesh with metal. Also, they do have an album out now!
Bonus From Myself - Motanka
One of the many bands I'm hoping will drop another album, or otherwise motivations to run a bonus bracket for bands without enough songs. They've got one album and a style I struggle to explain, which they themselves describe as "Mystic metal" - imo it's one of those cases where the label fits quite well. Perhaps I can try to classify it as "haunting, atmostpheric yet heavy"? As a classic bonus point here, they also make use of some otherwise niche (at least in metal) instruments - the Ukrainian Tsymbaly.
Note - Lord Werewulf previously was mentioned here, however I have elected to remove them as further inquiry on the part of Clouds of Wings concluded it to most likely be AI. You can find more information in the notes. Otherwise, oops, do check out the other three for certified Human bangers. Generally, I won't impliment or enforce any abstinances based of the things I personally abstain from due to moral standing or other such motivations here, but I will make an exception for AI generated music.
