Reading through the old tournament commentary (for the memories), came across this review from me of four years ago:

16: Flash Storm
Metal, right? I'm trying to get a better grasp at the difference.

Sound Holic always delivers arrangements of highs: high quality, high intensity, and high energy. This remix is all of those, and deserves the praise for it. However, I'm struggling to find something uniquely memorable about it. To me, it sounds like a metal remix of At the End of Spring. It's a good remix and a great performance, but there's nothing specific to say about it aside from the slight elements of Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander mixed in, which aren't even that prevalent.

It's still a 7/10, but I'm probably not going to remember this one.
There wasn't anything noteworthy about the lyrics either, btw.

I was wrong; I ended up remembering this very well, and listen to it consistently. I wasn't especially familiar with "At the End of Spring" at the time, and looking back this particular arrangement was much more noteworthy than I could appreciate then. It's funny what does and doesn't change with time, and fascinating to reflect upon what heralds the things that do change.
