Like husband and wife yet never in accord, oh, never in accord they lived. She sank upon the bench, and wept in bitter grief, oh, she cursed her life away.

Speak of the devil...

Firstly, bringing this one back as a mainstay, a randomised list of all bands that didn't win, and recieved two or more subissions:

Bit bigger a list here and some bands have certainly become mainstays, so I'm starting to ask myself - how many second places before I just grant them a bracket, as with Eluveitie? As for now, I'm not doing so for any of these, but if you have thoughts please share.

However, as the chart above displays, there is a winner by a fair few submissions. Otherwise, we're as disorganised as ever. Well, ok, maybe somewhat distrue as the bands that got past one submission seemed to more often get past two aswell?

One little piece of ado I shall adress here is some discourse on submissions - for full transparency, the winning band has some submissions I might consider suspicious (i.e. blank except band name, within a short time span of ~20m). However, even if I condense all of them into one, they still tie for first. Thus I'm allowing the benefit of the doubt - they did come after I cleared up some confusion around how submissions work. Taking no action here, but I do check for these things :p. Also, note, please use one band, one form - it's not a big issue, as I can separate them later, but I did almost miss it lmao.

Anways, with no further ado, the winner -
