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

I`m certain no more votes will come for these albums now, as most of the regulars on here into this type of metal have already voted, these albums are hardly for your casual listener

So its 3-3-1 in favour of both Malevolent Creation and Nocturnus. Next up courtesy of Alfred his debut on here, are these two very recent albums. One from one of my fav modern day metal bands and the other from an interesting sounding metal band from Norway.

Kylesa Static Tensions 2009

Versus

Kvelertak Kvelertak 2010

I haven't heard either of these albums, and I haven't even heard of the second band. I'll hold my vote for when I get around to listening to them within the next day or so.

Heh. A John Baizley album cover theme!

I thought the covers and colourings looked exactly the same, I wasn`t sure if they were picked because of that or it was just a coincidence.

No probs they`ll be up for a couple of days.

I haven't heard either of these albums so I'll have to give them a listen.

Thank God for this thread. It is the only reason I get on here anymore. With football playoffs and all, I just don't have enough time to listen to all these albums. All the albums that have come up have been good though, so I am at least keeping track of the ones I haven't heard.

That Kylesa album is killer, I'm excited to listen to the other one now

RVCA · 10-31-2011, 09:36 PM

Kylesa - 1
Kvelertak - 0

Both start with K, both covers illustrated by whatshisname from Baroness, both have excellent drumming, but I think Kylesa edges out the win for being more palatable, shorter, and more tightly executed. Kvelertak is all over the place genre-wise and it's definitely an interesting listen but the vocals never let up (which is a bad thing in this case) and as a whole it doesn't seem very cohesive.

Granted, I've listened to Static Tensions several times now and I just finished listening to Kvelertak for the first time so standby for a possible change of opinion

I think you may have just sold me on checking out the Kvelertak album, I've never really been able to get into Kylesa.

I think you'll like it-- it's fast and angry
