My vote goes for Diabolical Masquerade, because Death's Design was the best metal release of 2001. October Tide comes second. Bloodbath feels more like a project than band to me, but I'll see when Resurrection Through Carnage is released...
Damn that's a hard decision.......they're all so fucking cool, and it changes like the weather which project I like the most
After a long time to think I voted October Tide though.... Mostly because Grey Dawn is one of the greatest albums I've got.... Like Diabolical Masquerade just as much though
Diabolical masquerade is excellent. I´ve been listening to Death Design a lot in the past few weeks and I must say that it is really well done.
On the other hand, October Tide is kind of an historical band and has a special meaning to me...
I expect the new Bloodbath to be another good work...
I can´t compare the three side projects, they are all outstanding in a different way.
But since I have to choose only one, I will vote for OT, just a tribute to the past!
