What a great show! Props to everyone who worked on this. The format is solid, as is the production. If anything, the mercy segment could be executed more tightly. It was so cool to see a diverse set of acts that are still early in their musical journeys, but also know how to bring it. I'll watch as many episodes as you'll make.

I just happened to stumble upon your guys KZbin channel and love it! So some of your bands that you have picked up on your record not too fond of but there's a lot of them on there that I just absolutely love and could sit and listen to them for hours on end. PS rock metal punk Gothic operatic or any genre that is rock type based is pretty freaking insane but we must never forget where we came from because it all started out of blues and jazz we just took it to a whole new level and cranked it up the cloud 9 lol keep it loud heavy and melodic 🤘👌

Brilliant bands, and was really hard to see any of them not go through, but I think it's as it should be. It's the realest music competition ever. Kudos! Can't wait for the next one. p.s. I think Kallias was a cut above the rest

Tosin is like all progmetal fans. We all stand arms crossed in the audience waiting for the bands to impress us! 😂

[@izzate7]

The thing about prog is the genres serve the story the music is trying to tell. So being able to know what flavors each genre does well is part of writing good prog. Metal doesn’t get a pass if musicianship is lacking.

[@8SweetPotatoLattes]

I did not expect to get sucked into this series as much as I have! Went from "eh I'll check this out" with the first episode, to looking forward to new episodes on Wednesdays! This series is so much fun and harkens back to an era of music-themed reality-based TV that I just can't seem to find these days. Much love to Sumerian and friends who clearly worked so hard on this series.

[@snair2355350]

Tosin is the voice of reason in the show. His analytic music producer mind is so so needed in this show. The artists can really take his constructive feedbacks to the drawing board and improve. Especially when the rest of the guys have a heavy connection to the overall feel, lyrics and a very unnecessary obsession with looking like a “rockstar” thingy 😂 I don’t get it.

[@Jakethysnake93]

Tosin provides the technical knowledge. Gavin's focus is lyrics Lizzy and the other girl talk about marketing and look. Alice is just there for star power and to get boomers to watch. I think taking the advice they all provide would make a pretty successful band. Kind of like a whole package deal. At least we don't have to look at Simon Cowell

[@Dukhevych]

Finally an episode with METAL

[@josephtyler1486]

I think mourning son was one of the best bands on here so far, one of the few bands I’ve actually looked up after an episode for more

[@antigravity420]

This was the best episode so far. Every group was worth watching. Here's my two cents after watching all of the bands but not hearing the who won or the seeing the part where they talk to the A&Rs. Kodiak - I got very confused in their introduction. The lady said they are managed by Vinny Appice but mentions Vanilla Fudge and Rod Stewart. Carmine Appice (Vinny's brother) was in Vanilla Fudge and Rod Stewart. Vinny was the drummer for Dio. Whichever Appice brother manages them, I'm sure they are already in good hands, so I'm not sure why they're on the show. As far as their music and performance goes, they brought some energy. Rockin up tempo song. It is exactly what you'd expect from a band who's influences are Motley Crue and other 80's rock bands. Nothing special but no complaints. I don't think they are a winner for this show but they will do fine if 80's rock comes back to life. Josie Pace - Industrial is not one of my favorite genres. Basic song. So basic that I'm not sure why this drummer brought his own kit. He's not playing anything that can't be played on that kit in the back. Really good vocals, good look and they played tight. I thought of Army of Me by Bjork while hearing the song. Maybe this would be good for a sci-fi or action movie soundtrack. Might be a good fit to open for a group like Puscifer though. Kallias - This is the best band that's appeared on the show so far. Although I love Tosin and Animals as Leaders and Polyphia. I don't think 100% instrumental is the way to go. People want to relate to your music and vocals is the easiest way to connect. I'm not sure if the transition from the intro riff to the second riff was intentional or if it was just an edit from No Cover to fit the song into a time window. Good stuff though. I like the grove. The drummer loses his hands a little bit when he does the super-fast heel toe but I can't blame him, that is a difficult section. For me this group has beaten every band that has been on the show before them. This kind of band is what I expected most of the bands to be like on this show. *Side note, the strobe light was hard to watch. I'm not sure why those things were ever popular. Maybe give an epilepsy warning prior to the show. Mourning Sun - Here we have another winner. It's about time. These last two bands are totally what I expected to hear throughout this competition. Yeah, really great musically. Good screaming. I usually like some clean vocals but this was really good for one song. I'm not sure I'd want to listen to a whole album without melodic singing. Tosin mentions it but I never heard him trying to sing low melodically. Maybe it was edited out. They were having a good time playing, especially the bass player. It's a coinflip for me on who wins this episode between Kallias and Mourning Sun. If either of these bands were on a separate episode they'd both be winners. I think I'd go with Mourning Sun in this instance though. Just because they brought the vocals and had more energy to their song. That's not to take away from Kallias. I think they did a great job. I think No Cover should be hour long episodes. I'd love to hear the entire song from each band. That would make it better than any cookie cutter show on national TV that just shows clips of the performance. Some songs are built on dynamics and need the changes represented properly. Plus there are times that the judges are giving advice and you only get a portion of what they are saying because it's cut for time. Also, I'd love to see drummers playing their own kits. I know I mentioned the one band that brought their own kit to play a basic beat but some drummers have different set-ups that may enhance how their playing comes across in their song. I know it's a time issue but these bands have one shot to make a good first impression. Those are my thoughts. If you read this whole comment, I'd like to hear what you think. It's cool if you disagree with everything that I just said. No need to get upset.

[@antigravity420]

I just watched the council. Wow they hated Mourning Sun. I didn't love them but I thought they were the best group on this show. If they would play to a click they might have come across a little cleaner and tighter. I like what they play during the verse though, it's like a 4 pattern riff. I don't think Kallias wants to do the collab. Maybe if they just had the singer or got to have a singer of their choice but it looks like they have to take a couple people from that band. Also, the part where the one A&R says "Who is the most popular instrumental group"? and dude responds with, "we listen to Opeth". The clear response should have been "Animals as Leaders". He would have nipped that one in the bud right there.

[@Jake5man2]

Mourning Sun has some newer songs called “deadweight” and “contrition” which have plenty of melodic vocals!

[@benjaminsmall8604]

It looked to me that the Josie Pace drummer had some electronics on the left side of his kit. Familiarity with his own kit and the placements of the different elements.

[@BlackCatFriday]

I hated when alice cooper and the other dude called a specific vocal style "Dog barking"!! This is so disrespectful! A shock rock idol like alice cooper!!! What the fuck!!

[@ericderami]

Josie Pace was a great act to follow Kodiak. She quickly showed the importance of engaging eye contact, she even worked the camera well. That wink was a nice move.

[@stevied31313]

Hearing some of these people talk about screaming vocalists takes me straight back to middle school. Hearing my parents and people say, “that’s just noise” or “you can’t even understand what he’s saying” haha

[@amywilliams3130]

I prefer Mourning Sun. That's what I expected to see on this show and there hasn't been many like that. ♡ I personally believe they did the best. I felt the emotions from them the most.

[@Vimana]

I enjoy watching No Cover. Here's just a small correction... Well, someone must've mentioned this before: Carmine Appice (not Vinny Appice as was mentioned after 1:28 in this video) was the drummer who was in Vanilla Fudge and Rod Stewart's band. Vanilla Fudge was mainly active in the late 1960s and Carmine has been in various other bands after that. If you want to hear more 1980s hard rock & metal I recommend the first King Kobra album "Ready to Strike" from 1985. Carmine Appice was the founder of that band and he was also a member of Blue Murder. You might want to check those bands out. Vinny Appice is Carmine's younger brother. He started in mid-1970s playing in Rick Derringer's band for example. He's very well known as the drummer of Dio. Before that he played on the Mob Rules album, which was the second Black Sabbath album featuring Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Both drummers are great. If someone is reading this and haven't heard the first three Dio albums I wholeheartedly recommend them to you. Take care and have a great day.

[@yieldsquad1168]

Best episode in the season so far! Can't wait to see more. Hope the finals have longer song performances and judge rounds.

[@severedtroy]

Interesting show. Kallias's performance was great, too bad the show cut it down for time and the editing was done poorly. The full version of that song flows really nicely and the vocals on the newer songs are great!

[@tayfrayviews6523]

I noticed that too, as far as editing. Much easier to tell with instrumental performances. The bass was the tale though. Hearing the higher end strums but seeing the hands at the bottom of the neck on the low string. Other than the editing from the production team, they did amazing! No fault on them at all

[@Theenragedone]

It's interesting how they said they didn't want to go with growls on that track, and then with the version they uploaded in August they went aggressive. I think it sounds great, but it wouldn't work on this show with Gavin, and Alice as judges.

[@crushingthevector5837]

FINALLY!!! Thank God this week is a vindication of last episode. Every band this episode had something worthy. For me, "Josie" and ""Mourning Sun" stood out. I was a bit worried last week. But the bands this week definitely revealed what this show could potentially be. I do wish "NO COVER" all the best and seriously hope they continue moving forward with this concept. America and the Global Music Industry has been lacking that "NEW" thing for decades. One thing is certain, this medium has the potential to uncover the NEXT BIG Thing. While, I believe there has definitely been some Great bands on NO COVER, I feel there is still so much undiscovered talent around the Nation that is truly deserving of this opportunity and exposure. The caliber of talent was much stronger this week. To the bands, I would say, stop playing it safe. Every time you are given this stage, YOU need to play as if it is your LAST chance! Great job, NO COVER!!....OH yeah, the COLLABS, should become a permanent part of this show. In fact, would be cool for you guys to not just pick an already existing band as the winner BUT, should also be vetting every musician for a potential Collaboration. Maybe build a band in the end as well. Would already have the fan base in place to push a product. Even if only one tune.

[@EricJamesVideo]

I can appreciate that this show was put together and I agree more with what Tosin's face speaks during performances. For the judges, I bet it's very challenging to be constructive instead of cut-throat like the music industry actually is. I still think the A&R section of the episodes are a joke. Advice I could give any band. Don't do these events. Craft your music, record your music, make videos, hit the social media hard, create a buzz and a following yourself. Best advice I ever got from any A&R rep or label, "If we don't already know who you are, we don't care. Why should we?" Sure it was harsh to hear, but so true.

I agree! And when you've got a good screamer, you most definitely can understand the lyrics (if you're bothering to listen). Plus a lot of this style is about the raw emotions, not just the lyrical content.

[@nubag7]

I agreed with Alice, it's a generation of music lovers who just don't get the growl vocals.

[@Dream_elixir_band]

Yep, his critiques are always trash lol. He just doesn’t understand the style of music.

[@bigbabowski8203]

Great show so glad I have access! How else do I support this show other than watching liking and commenting. Also those 3 judges today are a better combo they just had a lot of quality banter.

[@SaintElsewheres]

Great episode. This week was so loaded that it felt like any one of these 4 bands would have won any other episode with only Native Howl and Mirror Lake holding them off. Glad the electronic song won! Heavy track too. And we got a new Bad Omens video on the same day! Sumerian rolling!!!

[@lizarrrdbeth]

Sumerian Records are the ones to watch!! They are bringing the most EPIC bands into the spotlight! Rock on!!!!

[@JayEduards]

Best episode yet!

[@jorgevelasquez9003]

Just heard more of those Kallias guys... amazing!!!

[@jakestewartmusic]

Kudos to the bands for taking the critiques so well

[@PatrickMullenDrums]

mourning sun was phenomenal

[@MourningSun]

[@freeman35423gs]

What a great episode, I liked so much how all members of council loove old rock and wanted guys to create a new old rock inspired band ❤

[@jriron1]

Great episode guys !

[@am1992sxe]

The unsung heroes of this show: The Videographers They really pay attention to detail.

[@essenceidentity]

This shows very inspiring and I honestly didn't expect this 😃 although I had no expectations its beyond anything imaginable

[@shellydavis7928]

Loved this episode 🤘🏻so glad to see some metal. Great job everyone!! :)

[@guitarwithjamesoffical]

I really like that they put two bands together!! Very cool.

[@marcosanacleto]

This is Fire!!! please keep it going ❤‍🔥

[@elizabetha1837]

Mourning Sun has been the closest to a band I would actually listen to. I figured a show backed by Sumerian would bring more metal talent.

[@kevinstoneburner8775]

I thought they were the best on this round

[@theenlightenedone5429]

they had good elements but the singer really needs to work on his singing. there were times when he had to hold himself back because he couldnt reach the high notes. but yes they were closer to what modern metal would sound like :)

[@jingo1410]

@@theenlightenedone5429 Agreed I think the vocals are the missing piece there.

[@eldirtyfaygo5395]

It's not profitable. Bro that whole genre is dead, even underoath who they cited as influence no longer does the cookie cutter post hardcore screamo. Would had been cool if they had a rapper or another singer to balance out the harshness, Gavin was right.

[@bm7291]

@@musicwithbrad I wouldn’t call it screamo just because he was doing his best Ollie from being me the horizon / architects style half-singing/screaming but decent metalcore for sure

[@thewedge8823]

This is my fav show on youtube. watch it every week lol

[@megandrover340]

Okay this is the first episode where all 4 bands bands are REALLY tight and enjoyable imo might just be because I’m a metal mused bug would be a really hard pick for me between the 2nd and 3rd band

[@Decept1onCheck]

I'm so excited for the next episode.

[@emilianoplayz]

Love the show it's amazing as always

[@AdventureOnStore]

whoever is in charge of editing this show... YOU ARE FIRED!!!

[@LordFlashheart]

This show is great. Like really genuinely great.

[@nathanpanggaz8216]

Mourning Sun is actually really good and I feel better than the other bands. They probably need to play different song to these judges.

[@jannik19191]

They're great, but they should rather cut their teeth in local hardcore scenes than try to get on big stages right away

[@RichEmbury]

Kallias and Mourning Sun were killer. I'm not an Instrumental fan though, but the music was tight. Kodiak coulda been great, but the song was a mess and had no hook or coherence.

[@dony1618]

The best episode so far

[@twitch.101]

I cannot WAIT to see what Kallias is like with Krystopher Do. I think that could be fire, hope they go through with it. Josie Pace was great too, can’t wait to hear more from them

[@mgcuniverse9037]

i"m adding a lot of bands and songs to my playlist thanks to this show, I wish this was able to go head to head with American song contest

[@ryanpatrick1984]

This was the best episode yet. The show is really finding its legs.

[@jldkrank]

just remember this week and previous weeks, that the live sound in the room is probably way better than what we hear on the recording. Always seems to be the case, not sure why.

[@lewissavaidis]

hell yeah definitely a fan of mourning sun, that was an epic song!

[@autopilotmiscreants]

What a great show idea.. Would love to take part 1 day.

[@aarongrisham5555]

Kellias and Mourning Sun were great.

[@jonbourn473]

This was a much better ep than the last two. Mourning Sun was my favorite. Of course the most pop band won, but they were interesting and good. I can't believe they brought the 80s band back really but the guitarist could wail. It's crazy this is a Sumerian sponsored or whatever show and the judges couldn't get the "dog bark" vocals?? Gavin and Alice are the worst judges of the panel imo. But...what do I know? I'm still watching. Interested to see the next round.

[@kimfalleiro]

i agree from the last two i didnt like any of those bands/artists but the show as a whole is pretty solid

[@DingusMcBrungus]

Yeah it was ridiculous. Dropping the show after that if the judges are too close-minded to give any chance to a huge number of metal subgenres

[@samuelfuster6635]

They should make Dave Grohl a judge

[@maaaaaap]

@@DingusMcBrungus alice is a pretty old dude, it shoudnt surprise that his takes can be a bit conservative lol

[@pattysmusic524]

The vocalist of morning sun was great at screaming but when he tried singing melodically he couldn't hit those notes. Sam Carter style singing is really hard to do though

[@midnight-2021]

This was their best episode because for me non of these bands didn't bore me or bore me entirely. Kodiak was the least original but the vocals were strong and the musicians, especially the guitar player was awesome. Josie Pace does this industrial mix, which for me personally isn't my thing, but they have a combination of other genres and are the most original sounding band in today's episode and I agree with the judges on them getting the win. Good live performance and good energy especially with no audience. Vocals could be better and probably the weakest of the bands vocally but overall very good and deserved to move on and win this episode. Kallias was my favorite band as far as they play my favorite genre but when naming Meshuggah and especially Opeth as influences I was disappointed with not having a vocalist. Instrumental bands are good and prog metal does this to perfection but when you get a great vocalist like Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth it takes prog metal to another level and what makes Opeth one of my favorite metal bands of all time so I was disappointed with Kallias even though they played a genre that I love and I love how they played with their instruments, Morning Sun song was overall my favorite song of the show but they showed too many flaws in their live performance and I can understand the criticism by the judges. But I think in front of an actual live audience this band would be the most fun to watch out of all of these bands today. All and all I liked all of these bands today and would pay to see any of them live.

[@observerboutique]

The best thing about this show is just having the performances at the start, hardly any pause between what people watch these shows for. The decisions are at the end if you’re interested.

[@Frankenberry]

Mourning Sun all the way for my money

[@Need4Needle]

good episode! i really dig kallias, they really fit my tastes. Good choice of choosing to go instrumental!
