+4
It didn't occur to me until just now, but "Crasher-Vania" is technically by Starbomb and not Ninja Sex Party, but Starbomb is just the two members of NSP + one other person, so, it's not that big a deal haha.
Round 1 | Day 2
The Devil's Blood - Christ or Cocaine vs Harriers of Discord - You're Dead
I like What We Do in the Shadows a lot, but I'm not really a fan of that song on its own. I wouldn't have nominated it if it wasn't associated with the film, and honestly I really only went with it as a last minute replacement for another song.
Marilyn Manson - Tourniquet vs Cradle of Filth - A Gothic Romance
I've never really been into Cradle of Filth. They had one song I kind of liked, but I don't remember what it was called. "Tourniquet" is not my favourite Marilyn Manson song but it easily gets my vote here.
Babymetal - Gimme Chocolate vs The Monkees - Heart and Soul
I kind of love whoever these Babymetal people are. At first I was like, no no no, please just dance and not say anything, but I like the actual singing parts. It's a bit repetitive, but I dig it. They stole the vote away from the Monkees.
Kasabian - Put Your Life On It vs White Zombie - Grindhouse (A Go-Go)
The first one is alright, but a little slow. Like most White Zombie songs, I really like the music but not the vocals in "Grindhosue (A Go-Go)".
Horrorpops - Walk Like A Zombie vs Ninja Sex Party/Starbomb - Crasher-Vania
I don't expect a comedy song about Castlevania to go over that well, but I think it's a lot of fun, and I always get the choruses stuck in my head. I like the melody for "Walk Like A Zombie", but I'm not a huge fan of female vocalists, so it's not really my cup of tea. MEDUSA YOU SHE-BITCH, I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL.
Tarot - Things That Crawl at Night vs The Residents - constantinople
"Things That Crawl at Night" felt like it was building up to something else...but it never really got there. I liked it well enough anyway though. Unfortunately I found the second one a bit grating and ended up turning the volume down quite low. I vastly prefer the They Might be Giants song with a similar name.
Warfare - Baron Frankenstein vs Swans - A Hanging
Is "A Hanging" a cover, or was it covered by someone else? The lyrics seemed very familiar but I've not heard that song before. It's a bit too repetitive for me.
L'Arc~en~Ciel - Shinshoku 『lose control』 vs The Dead Brothers - Death Blues
This is one of the L'Arc~en~Ciel songs I know! The verses are not the best, but overall I quite like it. I was tapping my foot along to the beat of "Death Blues", so even though it's not really my style, it did get me moving haha.
