Battle of the bands - Semifinal match 1

[nafnikufesin]

Down to the final four (well, sort of...the other quarterfinals will be done by tomorrow). Which one of these bands will be represented in the final (which, if all goes according to plan, will be posted on the weekend)?

Today's match is In Flames vs. Opeth. In Flames took out Type O Negative and Kreator, before scoring one of the bigger upsets of the tournament by knocking off Megadeth in the quarterfinals, 23-18. Opeth, meanwhile, progressed through Arcturus and The Project Hate, before slaying the mighty Slayer 30-21.

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.

[Bleakest Harvest]

Opeth by a distance so far that In Flames are but mere dots in the distance

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

In Flames!

 

[Ormir]

IF

 

[The Grand Wazoo]

Göteborkbork för evar!

 

[threak]

Opeth kill in flames!

 

[Nested Tables]

I say Opeth. In Flames are OK, but as has been suggested in previous posts in this thread, they can't touch Opeth with a bargepole. Or even a barge. Or oil tanker. Or, well, Imperial Star Destroyer.

Wow, this is a tough one. I'll have to think about it for a bit before I vote.

 

[7 Dying Trees]

Opeth.

 

[NaTaSMAI]

I'll vote In Flames, just to even things out a little.

 

[Arch]

In Flames all the way!

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Opeth. In Flames are overrated.

 

[seventi]

Hmmm, really tough one. I will have to go logical on this one. I've listened to IF for 6 years and Opeth since....November last year.
I go with IF for sentimental reasons

 

[Stoner Sioux]

Opeth of course

 

[The Silent Smiling Jester]

In Flames

 

[mourningstar]

opeth

 

[ArchY]

In Flames Must Win !

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Opeth - musically they are WAY superior! Lyric-wise too. Mikael's vocals are way ahead of everything Anders could even dream of.

And how the fuck could In Flames beat Kreator!?
