Total lists submitted: 17

With round one done & dusted it's time to move on to the round of 32. Sad to see bands with as much love as Vektor & Destruction bite the dust, but these decisions are just gonna keep getting tougher as we go on. Thankfully I didn't have to make any tie-breaking votes last round, but this round may very well be a different proposition. For the record, I included the list submitted by "Erecshyrinol", because I have no idea if they're really an alt or not.

How in the fuck did Megadeth almost get eliminated in the first round, even granting that Destruction is a good band?

 

[jimmy101]

They were actually losing at one point when I was counting the votes. If it wasn't for a late rush of votes towards the end they wouldn't have made it through. Guess they got in by the Skin o' their Teeth.

I really like Sabbat, which helped me vote against Metallica last tound but not this time.

Either way, very strong list of bands left.

 

[Allfader]

Sepultura vs D.R.I.

That's not even a contest.

 

[Baroque]

Demolition Hammer (9) def. Vektor (8)
Annihilator (7) def. Warbringer (6)

Impressive showing by these modern bands, and honestly, Warbringer should have won. Tough match up for Vektor in a first round, I still think they were the better band as well

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Annihilator are pretty much sidewalk/pleb thrash outside of a few songs. I know some of the "guys" here think its some kind of badge to say they dont like "modern" thrash and automatically shit on younger bands, but the fact is that Warbringer completely annihilate annihilator and wannabe kvlt posers on this forum will continue to be wannabe kvlt posers.

Annihilator is one of the worst thrash bands that got some degree of recognition/fanbase. Pure fucking garbage.

Tbh people probably voted against Warbringer because you like them.

I don’t think Annihilator is the worst thrash band ever but they’re definitely nowhere near most of the bands on this list.

yea i can totally imagine a faggot like yourself doing something like that. Goes to show just how fake some of you guys are and literally makes these games pointless.

 

[Krow]

Cry moar and pretend like you don’t cheat these stupid games too.

Cry moar and pretend like you don’t cheat these stupid games too.

i love how you just keep projecting yourself onto others. Thats something you seem to do quite often here you transparent fat fuck. I never cheated on any of these games and i would NEVER change my rating based off what lame cunts like yourself think. What makes you think that i would be okay with using tactics that i honestly think are cringeworthy? Again, are you mistaking me for someone like yourself who has no backbone? Last time your bitch ass cried about me supposedly cheating so i even went ahead and pulled out of the following round just to make sure i wouldn't win. One of the times i even went ahead and gave points out to others while i stayed out of the round, which literally made sure i didnt win. stupid fucking bitch

Hardest pick was Possessed over Megadeth. But, I really only enjoy Peace Sells and a random selection of other songs.

 

[Krow]

Damn looks like Protector is going out this round. I like Dark Angel plenty but I’ve really been hitting Protector’s first four albums and eps hard lately. Great lesser known band.
