the best side projects ever thread

Mind you - it's also like comparing apples to oranges also, because ultimately, they are totally different bands of totally different styles. Reastically, you can't compare them.
 
Pretty much considering Bloodbath put out Nightmares Made Flesh which is one of the worst death metal albums ever

No. Nightmares Made Flesh is one of the best new DM albums and is mindblowing. fuck off!
