And Norway redefined what we think of as black metal, while the more avant garde third wave bands, like Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega, have further taken black metal away from its roots. Yet we still consider Bathory, Hellhammer, and Sarcofago to be black metal.

No I really don't. St. Anger > Suicide Season.

I don't know what this means. But if you're saying that you're willing to hold a battle with just the two of us, notice that none of our nominations line up, so no single band would get voted off.
