Just take five minutes to listen to one song already. You won't regret it.

I really enjoyed both albums but I gotta give the edge to Kylesa. I love the sludgy riffs and the dual drumming adds an interesting dynamic. It is a really fun album. The Kvelertak one was great too. The hardcore side of things stuck out to me as well as the rock, more so than the black metal aspects (although some call it "black n' roll"). I'm not ga ga over the album as others seem to be though.

Kylesa 3

Kvelertak 5

I have no idea why people keep describing this album as so diverse, it has a fairly consistent sound from beginning to end. I gave it a second listen last night and liked it a lot more going into it with realistic expectations though. So my suggestion is listen expecting brootal cock rock rather than some kind of mind-blowing work of genre-smashing eclecticism and you'll probably enjoy it.

I agree. It was an original sound but not an entirely brand new one. And the album doesn't jump around all over the place musically. There is some genre bending within the songs but not between them, if that makes any sense. The tracks as a whole are focused and cohesive.

If there are any more votes on this battle try place them asap, as I`ll be changing this battle over within the next 24 hours due to the amount of battles pending, currently stands as:

Kylesa 3
Kvelertak 5

sorry i have not been participating. got a job, 5 days and 52 hours worked so far, and not even close to over yet. so been unable to listen to these 2 albums.

hope everyone likes the battle I picked, and look forward to seeing peoples thoughts on them when i get time online next.
