EDIT: Mijn deelname komt er nog aan, maar dat wordt hopelijk rond een uur of 21.00.

Ik ben ook nog in de weer met een ander spelletje, dus laat iemand anders zich vooral geroepen voelen door jouw invitatie.

Drie van de vier die in Ladder 1 doorgaan had ik goed gegokt.
Maar met Saor had ik een enorme mispeer: die eindigde zelfs onderaan.
Wel leuk dat nummer 4 Candlemass is geworden, dat had ik zeker niet verwacht.

Top 4 die hier doorgaat: Primordial, Les Discrets, Cult of Luna en... The Gathering of My Dying Bride? Ik vrees de laatste, maar ik hoop de eerste.

1 Primordial - Gods to the Godless (2000 - SF)
2 Redemption - Long Nights Journey Into Day (2018 - W)
3 The Gathering - Strange Machines (1995 - SF)
4 Cult of Luna - I: The Weapon (2013 - W)

Kijk, nóg twee late vogels!

1. Cult of Luna - I: The Weapon (2013 - W): 176

9. Redemption - Long Nights Journey Into Day (2018 - W): 102
10. Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Not a Daughter (2016 - SF): 97

Op de eerste twee in de einduitslag na valt het op dat alles erg dicht bij elkaar lag. Naast CoL en The Gathering dus ook My Dying Bride en Queensrÿche door; met Redemption valt de jaarwinnaar van 2018 dus wel af!

Shout out: ABDrums, AOVV, Apollo, B.Robertson, danny de punk, Dieter, DjFrankie, Etiul, EvilDrSmith, Jacoto, Johnny Marr, Kondoro0614, laboomzaa, odi, The_CrY

Aangezien we tijdens de ladderfase steeds op 13-15 deelnemers konden bogen, zetten we maar gelijk hoog in: tot de 7 (max. 24)!

Wanneer beginnen we ??????

Ik zie al een flink aantal onmogelijke keuzes langskomen in de lijst, maar het had nog erger kunnen zijn voor de eerste ronde. Ik kan van alles opnoemen, maar vooruitblikkend:
- Alle 5 nummers van Slayer hebben een zeer sterke / gewaagde tegenstander geloot.
- Opeth heeft twee keer zichzelf geloot. Iron Maiden een keer. En beide bands hebben ook eenmaal elkaar geloot. Dat zal de pool van deze grote spelers in ieder geval verdunnen.
- De twee meest befaamde nummers van Type O Negative staan tegenover elkaar (battle #57).


Nu.

1. Enslaved - Forsaken vs. Cave In - Wavering Angel

1-0

Tot de 7 dus.

2-0

3-0

Alcest vs. Rainbow en Rush ook wel goede matches.
