07.18.23 | I am spinning them again, but i am pretty sure Onsegen will remain to be my overall favorite contestant of this tournament. It has been a great ride again with so many awesome albums! |

07.18.23 | Amazing. Two Nordic albums in the final. And even more amazing, two Finish prog works. This only confirms what I usually say, The Nordics, and the Italians too, are doing the best prog in our days.
Said that, both are two great works withour week points, two of my favourite albums of this tourney. But, since I must chose one of them and I'll go to chose "Love Remains The Same", because it's more eclectic and its music never ceases to surprise me since the first to the last track. |
Mythodea
07.18.23 | Onsegen Ensemble - Fear for me as well! One of the most adventurous albums and bands of modern prog, can't go wrong with it! |
Jethro42
07.18.23 | Good observation, e21. I'll pay more attention to the Nordic music in the future. Osegen Ensemble is not of my style. I'm tired to listening to it. It's quite repetitive and bland. I'm quite bias, but miam miam VHB, which is balanced and melodic.

07.19.23 | I vote for Onsegen Ensemble, fantastic album. The Morriconesque brass and atmosphere is what truly makes it stand out and original. I don't know any band that even remotely sounds like this...
Yeah Finnish dominance of these tournaments is mindblowing. I mean beside the two finalists now, last year's winner was from the land of the thousand lakes too! |

07.19.23 | One more vote for Von Hertzen. That album is quickly becoming of one my favorite finds from these tourneys. |

07.19.23 | Onsegen Ensemble for me
It's a style that's really new and interesting to me, while VHB is really close to what I normally listen to |

@bnelso, I wish you to win with Onsegen Ensemble, or what else. |

07.20.23 | Thanks, @Jethro. I wish you the best with your knight! Thanks for introducing me to VHB. I'm glad to be adding the band to my regular listening rotation. Per usual, I've learned about many fantastic albums over the course of this tournament, so thanks to all for bringing in so much great music. |

07.20.23 | We miss porc (I think he's on vacation), Scheumke and Sab. Another nailbiter indeed, like Don said. |

07.20.23 | Bring on the votes. I left them guys a message. |
Sabrutin
07.20.23 | Gotta be honest these aren't my favs, so I had to rejam both to understand better. I thought VHB would have been my pick, but I'm actually going with OE. I had criticized OE for feeling a little empty but ironically now that one has grown on me and opened up a little (the western-ish feel like "Lament of Man" is nice), whereas I feel VHB's vocals make it a bit stuffy |
Jethro42
07.20.23 | The VHB vocals suit very well their music. |
Scheumke
07.21.23 | It was a close race, but my vote goes for Onsegen. Both we're excellent finalists and overall I absolutely loved the tournament this year. Most of the albums were bangers and I will have quite a few of them in my rotation going foreward! |
