Someone might want to re-count Slayer vs. Drudkh and King Diamond/Mercyful Fate vs. Carcass, as they were decided by a single vote each.

 

[NAD]

WTF SLAYER OUT.

*quits internet*

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I can't fathom that either. I mean, come on. Drudkh is very cool and all, but puh-lease.

 

[lurch70]

thank God ... told you so Nad

 

[NAD]

Yeah Drudkh are a VERY good band. I mean they are certainly one of the best bands I've discovered due to this forum.

But against Slayer? :wtf:

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah, thats bizarre.

 

[lurch70]

its all good ... Slayer are still tr00 then ...

 

[Demilich]

Isis 15 vs. Black Sabbath 22
King Diamond/Mercyful Fate 17 vs. Carcass 18
Tool 15 vs. Neurosis 18
Primordial 34 vs. Naglfar 4
Led Zeppelin 14 vs. Death 20
Slayer 18 vs. Drudkh 19
Deathspell Omega 25 vs. Aeturnus 9

I found these ones to be most interesting for various reasons. So many Isis votes! Mrcyful Fate out?! Haha Naglfar got owned! Slayer lost! Awesome!

Reposted from the other thread:

My round 1 surprises (not in terms of the winner, but in terms of the lopsided nature of the battles):

Thyrfing 7 vs. Negura Bunget 30

Testament 9 vs. Emperor 27

Nile 20 vs. Manegarm 7

 

[MFJ]

Anyone who voted Isis against Black Sabbath... fuck off, seriously.

 

[Ellestin]

very happy with those results, nothing to complain about rly

 

[NAD]

its all good ... Slayer are still tr00 then ...

hahahaha

I would bitch about Meshuggah being out, but DUH, most of ya'll can't comprehend their awesomness so I'm not surprised.

 

[lizard]

depends if you're talking all the mediocre sabbath or the prime ozzy albums. but yeah, at first glance it's like sacriledge.

 

[Demilich]

People who think "Heaven and Hell", etc. compare to the first 5 are weirdos and should be painted funny colours and made to parade around naked in the square on a hot day.

 

[lizard]

I see that alot. Heaven and Hell revitalized them to an extent, but who could have predicted the whole boatload of shit that came after. For a time, it was Iommi only, and he was the only guy pictured on the sleeve lol

 

[JayKeeley]

Slayer out...again, Drudkh mass hysteria consumes this board.

And Testament losing to Emperor isn't a huge surprise, but people people, they got bitch slapped. Based on one good Emperor album?

 

[Ellestin]

Based on one good Emperor album?

Sure, but "Anthems..." reigns supreme, you know that, don't you Jay?

 

[JayKeeley]

Look, even if you took 2 Emperor albums, they still don't add up to the total sum value that is Testament. For gods sake, Prometheus should negate 200 points or something. We need Krigloch maths here now.

 

[Dark One]

And Testament losing to Emperor isn't a huge surprise, but people people, they got bitch slapped.

Exactly, it wasn't the Emperor win, but the margin of victory that shocked me.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

^^^^

totally agreed

btw, where the fuck was Darkthrone and/or Satyricon in this voting thingie?
