Metal Album Survivor [1st Wave Black Metal Division]

The Batlord · 09-06-2015, 01:08 PM

I've been deciding which genres to do this whole time, but I guess I'll let you guys vote on which one to do next. I was thinking grindcore, but I'll leave it to you. These are the remaining ones...

Glam Metal
Grindcore
Industrial Metal
Groove Metal
Progressive Metal
Melodic Death Metal
Post-Metal
Folk Metal
Drone Metal

Might also shorten some of these to five album battles, since I don't know that enough people will care about/be familiar with all the albums for drone metal, folk metal, post-metal, or glam metal. These are the lists for those battles...

Spoiler for kubndfgv:

Also, if I posted a new metalcore battle with five albums, would enough people actually care for another try? Something like...

1. Converge - Jane Doe
2. Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works
3. Protest the Hero - Fortress
4. Botch - We Are the Romans
5. Earth Crisis - Destroy the Machines

Or should I use more well-known bands like Killswitch Engage or Trivium, just so we can at least have an ironic battle. Since Converge would probably win by default, I guess it doesn't necessarily matter who the other four bands are.

Post-metal and drone metal are maybe the only other ones where I'm fluent enough to vote from the beginning. So I'd like it if you kept those in.

They'll be kept regardless. I'm just talking about shortening the lists of ten albums to five albums.

I haven't been familiar with any of these albums, I've just been listening to them all in enough time for the voting. Maybe you should just give a larger limit on voting at the beginning of the round.

And I'd love to hear all about metalcore from you guys.

For the most part, the people who are going to vote, vote the first day. I think any longer than two days drags things out (as we can see from my current level of update reliability).

I'm a huge Toby Driver fan. Been seeing him locally all year. Small shows. Awesome dude to talk to.

Never got the love for Maudlin Of The Well.
Bath just sounds like some mediocre metal mixed with mediocre alternative rock with some sax and atmospherics added. Some passages are nice, but overall it just isn't exciting.

Amorphis is the only band I will ever listen to again.

I accept the Batlord's proposal to be his proxy in this thread.

We have a tie between Sigh and Sunn O))), but Sigh has accumulated many more votes by far, so they are eliminated.

5. maudlin of the Well - Bath
4. Naked City - Torture Garden
3. Gorguts - Obscura
2. Sunn O))) - Black One
1. Zu - Carboniferous

Vote 2 off Vote ends Sep 10, because saying something ends on september 11 is bad.
