UM Bands Tournament: Qualifying Pool 8

[Steve]

This is a tournament of all bands that have a forum on UM or have previously had a forum on UM. As the Tournament Progresses, more details of the format will be revealed.
Please discuss the music and compare it to the other bands in the match. Inappropriate posts will result in your vote being disqualified. Also, please do not post a message just to tell others who you voted for. The votes can be viewed by any UM member.
Please refrain from plugging your favored bands in a match on another forum. This tournament is meant to discuss music, not have fanboys flock to a poll and spam others' discussion withoff-topic posts.

This poll is open for 24 hours.

I'm amending the rules for this round. You may make a post saying only "Bork Bork" if you want to.

James Murphy.

It goes a little something like this.

Murphy > All guitarists in those bands.

I'm not sure if I should have another round of Pools or Direct Elimination Next Round. Any band with 0 votes is out, and I will post a few tiebreakers tomorrow to determine final rankings for this round.
The Current Top Ten are:

1 - Dark Tranquillity
2 - In Flames
3 - Anthrax
4 - Amon Amarth
4 - Dissection
4 - Soilwork
7 - Nevermore
8 - Death
8 - Opeth
8 - Testament

There will be two tiebreaker polls tomorrow for fourth and sixth, and ones for the other ties.

So far 28 bands have been eliminated, with four that can be today.

[manuelgv]

Carcass

 

[Night]

Borkie!

 

[Extreme Deformity]

Stop saying Borkie or Borkis ya fags.

 

[lucifer_cbhc]

Bodom.

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

Daylight Dies.

To be honest I've never fuckin heard of about half of them. Carcass are dead or they'd get my vote.

 

[Steve]

Dark Tranquillity have over three times as many votes as the 8th ranked ones.

And if you don't like it, go to Russia.
