Production Quality<br \/>\n2. Musicianship<br \/>\n3. Songwriting<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe finals (Top 5) will be announced July 31st. First place wins a label representation deal with The Metal Den Records (value $3,000). This is an online contest so there will be no live performance. Judging in finals is based off video of live performance. Good luck, thrashers!!!<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thejudgeslogo.gif\" alt=\"Judges\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/><big><br \/>\n<strong>Randy &#8220;Rocket&#8221; Cody &#8211;  Hope Cody &#8211; Nathan Cody<\/strong><small><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/themetaldenrecords.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/themetaldenrecords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/TMDRECORDSLOGOmaster-300x106.png\" alt=\"TMD Records\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><big><br \/>\n<strong>TMD&#8217;s 2015 Battle of Thrash Metal<br \/>\n Online Contest: Top 10!<\/strong><small><br \/>\n<br \/>\nSemi Finals Scoring:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDmainLOGO3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDmainLOGO3-300x121.jpg\" alt=\"TMDmainLOGO\" width=\"300\" height=\"121\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-44838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDmainLOGO3-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDmainLOGO3.jpg 489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ax6f-BnXa08\"><strong>VELOCITER<\/strong> <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>(81 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AraticThrash\/info\"><strong>ARATIC <\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>(80 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/destitutionthrash\/timeline\"><strong>DESTITUTION<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>(78 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MentallyDefiledOfficial\/\"><strong>MENTALLY DEFILED<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>(76 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/acidforcethrash\"><strong>ACID FORCE<\/strong>  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>(75 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ReleasedAngerGR\/timeline\"><strong>RELEASED ANGER<\/strong><\/a>   <\/p>\n<p>(75 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/excusethrash\"><strong>EXC&#8211; USE <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(73 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NuclearOmnicide\/info\"><strong>NUCLEAR OMNICIDE <\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>(73 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Thrashless\/\"><strong>THRASHLESS<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>(72 points)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AftermathChicago\/timeline\"><strong>AFTERMATH <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(72 points)<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/themetaldenrecords.com\">http:\/\/themetaldenrecords.com<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/?p=31872\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i189.photobucket.com\/albums\/z89\/themetalden2007\/TMDpromoNEW2010.gif\" alt=\"TMD Band Promotions!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/small><\/big><\/small><\/big><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Den Headz, it\u2019s time TMD announces the 10 bands that received the highest point total&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=44871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44871\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=44871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=44871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=44871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
