RC March Metal Madness - Round 1

[unknown]

yeah that was a tough matchup (as were a couple of others)

 

[JayKeeley]

remember that time when half of you goddamn fags were voting for Ulver's Svidd Neger over Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind.

Think about that.



And then, as if by magic, all the brothers of steel and thunder logged in and cast their vote against the Ulver outcasts.

EDIT: Sorry, not to digress.......

 

[MajestikMøøse]

these contests are gay bukkake wankfests anyway. so no big deal.

[General Zod]

The hardest matchup was moonsorrow vs drudkh for me.

Agreed. Kind of a battle of the titans in the first round.

[JayKeeley]

Melechesh? I know where you live Ali

actually let me explain, haha, I know very well that Negura Bunget is going to win this vote and I have no problem with it. What I do have a problem with is poor little Melechesh getting zero votes, so call it charity.

[Reign in Acai]

The only matchup where I had a degree of difficulty in deciding was Ayreon vs Agalloch. Ayreon's - The Human Equation is an extraordinary effort that makes me shiver like a school girl. It is also responsible for further inquiry in to the projects of the various musicians involved. I'll be sad to see it go, but what can you do when you're matched up against the definitive album of my collection?!?!

P.S Where the fuck is Arghoslent?!?!
