They were easily the best out of a bad bunch of hair metal bands. Too Fast For Love is sleazy sounding garbage-therefore a good listen

But they reached their creative heights with the Dr.Feelgood album and I have to say its a very good album, easily the best album along with Slave to the Grind by Skid Row, to ever be put out by a hair metal act.

Alright on further reflection I have to give it to Blut Aus Nord. This album takes the generic "Evilness" of black metal and twists it into something genuinely disturbing. When I listen to this album I get a feeling of low grade paranoia and anxiety that can be quite unsettling over time. If you're a bit of a misanthropic nihilist, this is pretty much required listening. Not to mention, I think the album is worth the price of admission just for "Inner Mental Cage" alone.

Blut Aus Nord - 1
Celtic Frost - 0

Listened to the Blut Aus Nord album and agree about its nihilistic feel and ambience. I read that its known as a third wave of black metal abum, considering my knowledge of black metal at the moment is limited, I had no other black metal acts save Burzum etc. to really make a good comparison with. All that aside, its probably a better album than the Celtic Frost one due to its unique feel, but its largely an instrumental which is something I normally don`t really dig. For nostalgia I`m still going with Celtic Frost here and my prefence for their overall sound.

I`m changing this battle in the next 24 hrs so place your votes. Now I know there are more than 2 people that know these albums, so try and place your votes soon.

Unrelenting · 09-25-2011, 08:03 PM

Monotheist is one of my favorite albums

Celtic Frost 2
Blut As Nord 1

Blut Aus Nord borders on genius with their atmospherics and just general aura about their sound, however Celtic Frost's blending of doom and gothic metal on Monotheist was such a step out of their comfort zone and it paid off brilliantly. I believe someone made the comment about Blut Aus Nord's sound being intensely evil, and I agree with that statement wholeheartedly, BUT nothing touches Synagoga Satanae in that regard.

You can't really go wrong with either but:

Celtic Frost - 3
Blut Aus Nord - 1

Howard the Duck · 09-25-2011, 11:54 PM

ok finally heard both

nice pick - both has an intense wall of noise guitar sound and the lyrics are vaguely Agnostic

blut aus nord - the more dissonant of the two, and the atmospherics are good, unlike a certain Count Grishnakh (Burzum), the singing is also very good and some of the tracks are soundtrack-ish

celtic frost - brutal and unrelenting, it's certainly different from their usual stuff

unnecessary tough call, so i'm flipping a coin - heads - blut, tails - celtic

so:-

Celtic Frost - 3
Blut Aus Nord - 2

Celtic Frost win that battle 3-2. Next up is this mathcore battle from 2007 submitted by The Batlord featuring these two well known bands and hell I love that Colors album

Again take a few words explaining your choice. BTW in case any are wondering where their submitted battle is, next two after this are from Mondo Bungle and Il Duce.

Alright, Ire Works kicks ass, but Colors is probably one of my fav albums of all time. I usually don't like albums to be as long as this one is, but Colors is just a musical journey that I can't help but listen to all the way through every time I listen to it. There are just so many moments of perfection and odd mind **** moments that just keep you going until the end.
