Battle of the bands - Round 2, match 8

[nafnikufesin]

As we head into the final match of the second round, a war of words is starting to brew in some of these matches. Remember, it may be a battle, but it's all in fun.

Today's match is Anthrax vs. Borknagar. Anthrax opened with a solid 25-14 victory over Immortal, while Borknagar came out of the first round with a 14-8 victory over Immolation.

Who do you like better and why?

For the benefit of those that haven't heard the bands before, feel free to post recommended songs to listen to in order to sway the voting.

This poll will close in 48 hours.

Yeah, this was a really tough decision for me. I was about to go with Anthrax, but then I decided to go with my second, third, and forth choices of Anthrax, Anthrax, and Anthrax.

My vote might be a little biased, especially since I don't even know who the fuck "Borknagar" is.

The Mighty Thrax shall rule in 2003!!!

Anthrax

'84-'91: Best Thrash/Speed metal band out there - insane drumming, chunky riffing, intelligent lyrics, wailing vocals
'92-today: Best Heavy metal band around; still insane drumming, still chunky riffing, powerful vocals.

Songs to check out '84-'91:
1. Indians
2. Among the Living
3. Belly of the beast
4. Caught in the mosh
5. Be all end all

Songs to check out '92-today:
1. Only
2. Inside out
3. Potters Field
4. Random Acts of Senseless Violence
5. Crush

p.s. Borknagar are a black metal band from Scandinavia I believe... (they all come from there eh?)

Peace!

I forgot to mention there was a change of singers in '92 but, unless you lived under earth for that period, you already knew this...

Peace!

Slight correction of your post, I believe it should have read as follows: "Anthrax of course... they are great."



Peace!

I went Anthrax as well. As much as I dig Borknagar, Spreading The Disease, Among The Living, State Of Euphoria and Persistence Of Time own.

Forever "Caught In A Mosh"

Borknagar is black metal? That's new to me. Anyway, I went with Borknagar. All of their albums have been great, IMO. Anthrax.. blah.
