Royal Carnage March Madness - Round 1 (Votes Needed)

[Henrik Main]

Maiden maybe, but there are LOTS of votes for Arcturus so far....you never know.

Black Sabbath has 22 votes, Arcturus has 14. I suspect that some have voted Black Sabbath because they feel they have to, seeing as they're the forefathers, originators, etc. I went for Arcturus simply because I enjoy their music more than Sabbath's. Hell, I listen to Deicide more than I listen to Bathory, but I still voted Bathory because I would've been chased into the woods by fotmbm and Erik if I hadn't

If Maiden doesn't win, you people should be ashamed of yourselves :zombie:

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Sure it can, and if Burzum's not going to be winning this overall then I'm officially disowning all and any relations to this board :<

I was just thinking the exact same thing. I mean, COME ON, PEOPLE! It's fuckin' Burzum we're talking about here! The originator of atmospheric black metal as we know it! (And is still unsurpassed in this man's book.) Negura Bunget? How the fuck does that compare?

 

[MFJ]

Yeah... you have to realize that there may NOT be a Negura Bunget without Burzum! Flame me 'till death, but think about it...

 

[Demilich]

Bathory is obviously going to win this because, as previously stated, BEST BAND EVER.

Anyone who doesn't vote for Bathory henceforth awaits death by the blade at the hands of...whoever the hell has the most appropriate blade.

 

[Black Winter Day]

There are people voting Immortal over Kayo Dot!

 

[Henrik Main]

Yeah... you have to realize that there may NOT be a Negura Bunget without Burzum! Flame me 'till death, but think about it...

So what, some people might still think Negura Bunget's music is better than Burzum's. This thread isn't about voting for the most important and/or influential bands, it's about voting for the bands you actually like.

 

[MFJ]

Yep, and I did.

 

[Henrik Main]

Yep, and I did.

Never said you didn't

 

[Crimson Velvet]

There are people voting Immortal over Kayo Dot!

Well... Obviously!

 

[Black Winter Day]

Oh com on, that's like saying The Butthole Surfers > Pink Floyd

 

[MFJ]

hahahahahaha

 

[Henrik Main]

The Butthole Surfers > Pink Floyd

But that's the truth, though

 

[MajestikMøøse]

The only way I was able choose between Negura and Burzum was the fact that Burzum made the best song ever.

 

[Black Winter Day]

But that's the truth, though

I'm sorry.

 

[Demilich]

The only way I was able choose between Negura and Burzum was the fact that Burzum made the best song ever.

PLUS THE CASIO POWER!!!!!11111

[/lame un-funnyness]

 

[J.]

well duh Immortal over Kayo Dot. The Dot has released one album which was just a continuation of The Well. Immortal helped define early 90's black metal.

Plus it helps that I haven't heard The Well or Dot. Plus Kayo Dot is the stupidest name ever.

 

[lurch70]

i think you would enjoy MOTW a lot J.

Fair enough, but I really do prefer Sabbath's music to Arcturus. I'm actually quite sick and tired of prog-avante garde- 'black metal'.

Indeed, you could probably even throw any Sabbath influenced doom band up against Arcturus (e.g. Candlemss, St Vitus, The Obsessed, Pagan Altar, etc), and I'd still go with the doom outfit.

 

[Erik]

Yeah obviously... Ozzy Sabbath > Arcturus, Dio Sabbath > Arcturus, and that's as far as I will go... Burzum > Negura also, not on grounds of influence or originality, but because Burzum quite simply are far better than Bunget, as awesome as they are, can ever hope to be.
