In the wake of ROUND 4, the second-to-last installment of 2022's MARCH MAYHEM tournament arrives. Some crucial guest judges weighed in but it's time for the KOPPOD troika to assess the Quarter-Finalists before moving onto Semi-Finals; one episode, two rounds. Below are the records entering the Quarter-Finals, with PUSHEAD's rankings included:

#97 THE ACCUSED 'Martha Splatterhead' EP vs. #25 NEGATIVE APPROACH 'Negative Approach' EP

#20 ANTIDOTE 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' EP vs. #5 BAD BRAINS ROIR Cassette

#18 THE ADOLESCENTS 'Adolescents' LP vs. #42 CRUCIFIX 'Dehumanization' LP

#51 THE MISFITS 'Walk Among Us' LP vs. #11 GISM 'Detestation' LP

At the end of this episode, the PUSZONE TOP 100 MARCH MAYHEM FINALISTS find themselves face-to-face in advance of the FINALS later this week. A MARCH MAYHEM BRONZE MEDAL gets awarded in this episode as well. It's all winners left in the Quarter-Finals but only one can win - thanks for following along and chiming in.
