I know Greg was going to spearhead this operation, but it's been a month, and it has yet to come to fruition. So with the blessing of the Metal ephors I've been granted the opportunity of comprising the 128 bands, (that's right were going Large this time around) that will be making up this tournament. Slayer, Maiden, Metallica, Agalloch, and the like have been omitted to give other bands a fair chance at making it up the tournament ladder. You'll see some rather big names ala Emperor, Opeth, and what have you. As well as some lesser known acts that may inspire you to investigate their worth if you have not had the chance of hearing them before. I took most of the suggestions made by the 2 Matts/Brandon, and filled the rest out on my own. Tis all. The No Vote will be implemented.. My arm pits fucking stink like ass BTW. Off to the shower I head.
