Another pointless "vs." thread... New vs. Old

[Black Winter Day]

Fates Warning: "So" vs. "Through Different Eyes"
Mercyful Fate: "Church of St. Anne" vs. "Descecration of Souls"
Bathory: "The Messenger" vs. "Raise the Dead"
Megadeth: "Kick the Chair" vs. "Chosen Ones"
Emperor: "Curse You All Men" vs. "Witches Sabbath"
Black Sabbath: "Heaven and Hell" vs. "The Wizard"
Helloween: "I Believe" vs. "Future World"
Savatage: "Morning Sun" vs. "Midas Knight"

Choose wisely.

The Wizard stomps all over those songs, including the ones I haven't heard.

Witches Sabbath > Curse You all Men

 

[Black Winter Day]

That's the grim answer, but do you really actually seriously believe that?

 

[MFJ]

I really do! When I first got Emperor/Wrath of the Tryant it was on of the songs that stood out at me the most. I prefer old Emperor greatly over their later stuff. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Equillibrium, but Curse You all Men is not exactly the best song ever. Witches Sabbath has good atmoshpere and some pretty dark riffs- its also one of the "sludgier" songs.

 

[Demonspell]

Through Different Eyes (So Tired is great too)
Chosen Ones (it's about Holy Grail...automatic win)
Curse You All Men (trooness be damned)
Heaven And Hell (bumbumbumbum..dadada)
I Believe (don't remember any of it, but it isn't the most irritatingly happy metal song of the pre-Gothenburg era, so it wins)

Maybe I'll have to listen to it again... last time I heard it, it sounded like mud butt.

And if no one has guessed the theme of this thread: "Good later-period stuff vs. Lesser-heralded old stuff".

Choose wisely.

My choices:
Church of St. Anne (the riffs! the solo!)
The Messenger (best song on the Nordlands)
Chosen Ones (rules for the riff change during the solo)
Curse You All Men (yes, it rules)
The Wizard (definitely the toughest choice, but I stand by this)
I Believe (great epic song, horrible lyrics. "Chameleon" is sooooo fucking underrated)
Morning Sun (one of my favorite Savatunes with Stevens, features one of Al Pitrelli's alltime best solos)
