\nIt’s time to announce the top 5 bands who received the highest points in the Semi Final round. Judging in this round is based on the band’s most recent studio recordings and the traditional point scale of 1-10 is used for scoring on three separate criteria:<\/p>\n

1. Production Quality
\n2. Songwriting Prowess
\n3. Musicianship<\/p>\n

Each judge issues a point total that could potentially equal a perfect 30 score. There are 3 judges so that means each round a band can receive a potential 90 points in this round.
\n
\nThe judges for this year’s online contest are:
\n
\nRandy “Rocket” Cody – Owner of TheMetalDen.com<\/p>\n

Hope Cody – TMD Band Scout <\/p>\n

Chuy Rodriguez – TMD Band Scout<\/strong>
