So I browsed my collection yesterday and retained 256 titles I would call my favourite albums all styles included. Time for one of them to be crowned with the official RC seal of excellency. I'll post a batch of fights once every three days or so and you just pick the best album for each fight. If you heard neither album, please refrain from voting on a band-basis or whatever.
NB1: This will solely be based on albums I'm owning on CD to this date, thus unfortunately no Bathory, Slayer, Hammerfall...
NB2: Kayo Dot - Choir of the Eye will compete for pure entertainment value.
NB3: the fights will be randomized anew at the beginning of each new round (no pre-laid tournament tree)
And lo and behold, the first set of pairings:
PINK FLOYD - Meddle vs. TIAMAT- Wildhoney
MOGWAI - Happy Songs for Happy People vs. MONOLITHE - I
MAUDLIN OF THE WELL - Bath vs. ISIS - Celestial
MOONSORROW - Verisäkeet vs. NOCTERNITY - A Fallen Unicorn
MONUMENTUM - Ad Nauseam vs. DAWN - Slaughtersun (Crown of the Triarchy)
SAMAEL - Passage vs. NEUROSIS - Souls at Zero
ELEND - The Umbersun vs. PRIMORDIAL - The Burning Season
OSCULUM INFAME - Dor-Nu-Fauglith vs. DARK FUNERAL - Vobiscum Satanas
DORNENREICH - Her von welken Nächten vs. OCEANSIZE - Effloresce
CONVERGE - Jane Doe vs. MOGWAI - Young Team
SILVER MOUNT ZION - Born into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward vs. CLANDESTINE BLAZE - Fist of the Northern Destroyer
RAISON D'ÊTRE - In Sadness, Silence and Solitude vs. TOOL - Lateralus
ULVER - Kveldssanger vs. SILENCER - Death, Pierce me
BEHERIT - Drawing Down the Moon vs. PRIMORDIAL - Storm Before Calm
WATAIN - Rabid Death's Curse vs. DEATHSPELL OMEGA - Infernal Battles
MELVINS - Houdini vs. OPETH - Orchid
