Metal Wars!!!!!!!!!!!

**** it, I'm resurrecting this ****. I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that everyone who was gonna vote in the last battle already has, so tie. PM me your suggestions. I'm gonna try to actually keep this going for once. First up is an avant garde metal battle between two bands, one of whom broke up and became the other, who came out of the Norwegian black metal scene.

Ved Buens Ende Written In Waters

vs.

Virus The Agent that Shapes the Desert

I'll do my best to help keeping this alive, but as you know I'm not the most experienced of metalheads, and 60% of the time the albums/bands selected will be unknown to me. But I'll listen to those two albums later and publish my thoughts.

In all honesty this was a spur of the moment thing. I haven't listened to Virus or Ved Buens Ende in forever, and never listened to them that much in the first place, so I don't have all that much of a head start on you.

I've been lazy on my forumming lately but I'll try to give these a listen tonight and get a review up.

The albums in the new contest make me feel like Keanu Reeves and River Pheonix listening to Udo Kier in My Own Private Idaho. Gotta pass

Carpe Mortem · 07-08-2014, 12:36 PM

Ok so who's next?

BastardofYoung · 07-09-2014, 07:57 PM

Micheal Bolton vs. Kenny G. Go.

Ernesto Morgan · 07-31-2014, 10:11 PM

yeah

Alright I'm taking the initiative here because we got some metal fan new members and I refuse to watch this thread die!

Similar vocalists, similar wicked style, while still maintaining a definite individuality. One is more drone, one is a bit faster, but they're held in equally high esteem. I present....

Khanate- Things Viral

Lord Mantis- Pervertor

Have at it, you sick bastards.

Listen to each, review each, maybe rate each, then choose a winner, for any newbies reading this.

I heard of Khanate, but not the other one. Is there any tracks I should go for? Or does a fair review warrant an entire album listen?

Based on what I listened to I'm liking Lord Mantis more for the technicality and the stronger hook.
