Royal Carnage March Madness - Sweet 16 (Votes Needed)

[JayKeeley]

Mark - are you thinking of Burzum?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Yes, it's possible

I like the 2 Ulver albums I own, btw. They're just not in Maiden's league, in case I didn't make that clear

 

[NAD]

I'll check out the RC feature. Is "Hammerheart" the best place to start?

Zod

I'd say so, but I haven't heard every album. One Rode to Asa Bay is commonly considered a song that is the musical equivalent of Kings Among Men, just like carnies.

EDIT: Awesome, my naked DVD Ulver comment made it into 'gugs signature.

 

[J.]

I love Twilight of the Gods. If you like Moonsorrow, Bathory is a must since Moonsorrow stole a bunch of Bathory riffs, at least on Voimasta and Suden Uni

LOL

It's a nice juxtaposed comment vs. your other "I'm so not metal" comment.

 

[JayKeeley]

Knowing Zod's tastes, do NOT start him off with Blood Fire Death or Twilight of the Gods!! He won't appreciate the thrash or vocals respectively. Just go with Hammerheart, or make a compilation.

With that said, he voted for My Dying Bride over Slough Feg's beer & metal approach, and he hates doom. Go figure.

I'm probably miscounting, but is Ulver winning 19-18????

 

[JayKeeley]

In a tournament where Enslaved beat Megadeth, anything is possible.

Greg, you want to trade some CDRs? I'll burn you Hammerheart & Twilight of the Gods (best 2 IMO) in exchange for a copy of the last Cradle of Filth and I don't know, something else cool that I don't have. You should test the waters before buying anything.

Drop me an e-mail, I have a better idea.

- what are you talking about NAD?

Greg, I emailed you through UM, if there's a better/different email addy to use, let me know.

Good call. "Blood Fire Death" (a title which my wife couldn't stop giggling about), is the one I have, that I can't seem to into.

With that said, he voted for My Dying Bride over Slough Feg's beer & metal approach, and he hates doom. Go figure.

I dislike Doom for two reasons. First, the pace. Too slow. I like to bang my head, and I'm incapable of moving that slowly without putting undo strain on my neck muscles. Two, the singers usually suck. I dig the dude from MDB. I haven't heard a lot by them, but I just love "The Wreckage of My Flesh". It was that song alone that gave them the nod over Slough Feg. That being said, same time next year, that nod may go the other way.
