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

Coroner wins for me. I like the riffs better, and the vocals on Killing Technology annoy me. Voivod's vocals don't bother me as much on Nothingface, since that album was more of a prog rock approach. They kind of ruin the thrashy KT album though. Vocals are what I am the most picky about (which is why I see Vio-lence's "Eternal Nightmare" as one of the greatest tragedies of metal)

Coroner - 4
Voivod - 2

Coroner win that battle 4-2, next up courtesy of Unrelenting are these two very recent black metal albums with post-rock influences, one band is from England (Fen they just had to be from East Anglia) and the other from Ireland, and could those covers be anything other than black metal!!!

Fen The Malediction Fields 2009

Versus

Altar of Plagues White Tomb 2009

Both bands i found this year from their newest releases, so i'm looking forward to going back and discovering their early stuff. I'm starting with Fen right now, so far so good. Will give Altar of Plagues album a listen tomorrow.

I'm gunna go with Altar of Plagues, too. The album is just more than Fen. Has more post rock, harder metal sections, just everything is turned up to 11.

Altar of Plagues- 2
Fen- 0

Never having heard of either band before and not being that up to date with recent black metal, I had nothing recent to compare either album to in order to gauge their strength, both albums had highpoints but also a number of lows (mostly being the overly long songs) I couldn`t decide which I thought was the more enjoyable of the two albums, so after listening to both yesterday, I decided today on which one I thought I`d be more likely to listen to again and the gut feeling was easily with Fen.

Altar of Plagues- 2
Fen - 1

I think it's time we call this one, not many people seem to be interested.

Unknown Soldier · 11-26-2011, 02:05 PM

Yes this battle has been up longer than most and I don`t think its going to get anymore votes so Altar of Plagues win 2-1. Ok here is a blackened sludge/doom metal match-up thanks to The Batlord. Again take a few lines explaining your choice. The Coffinworm cover is bigger than the norm on here, as I couldn`t get the right size on it.

Coffinworm When All Become None 2010

Versus

Unearthly Trance The Trident 2006

Darn, I would have liked to participate but I havent been home and couldnt access the albums. Meh, maybe next time

Hey, Unknown Soldier, that's Unearthly TRANCE, not Unearthly Child.
