I have something like this in my back pocket, but hopefully it doesn't come to that. Like PKs, it wouldn't be a satisfying resolution.

Sweden vs. France

United Kingdom vs. Italy
USA vs. Finland

While Germany has a more varied scene than Norway and lots of important bands the norwegian bm scene is just so good and such a big part of quite a long period of my life.

I guess I could see someone voting for Finland but the US just has soooo many bands of different styles that are pioneers and/or really great. They win on numbers alone.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Prediction:

UK versus US in the final round, and that round will be close. I'd vote UK out of principle even though I love the US metal scene.

 

[Vilden]

UK and US will meet in semis?

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Sorry, I didn't look at the bracket because I didn't know some of the countries well enough to feel comfortable voting.

I want Norway to win.
