@derthomas justice for Celtic Frost!

@HailsandAles I was afraid that this will happen when big bands are in the ring 😬

@derthomas Neurosis, Kyuss, Isis, Baroness (rest of the stonerbands are more rock than metal I guess)

derthomas, 7 months ago

@knaaq yeah, I'd keep them out, Neurosis I will add though. Thanks!

@derthomas Listening to some winners in the first round I never (really) listened to. These are the feelings so far:
In Flames: awesome
Blind Guardian: hate it, really
Next is Paradise Lost

@derthomas
Update:
Paradise Lost: not for me
Opeth: thought I didn’t like them, but Blackwater Park is really good
At the Gates: hell yea!

derthomas, 7 months ago

@knaaq Paradise Lost takes time! Where did you start?
Blackwater Park, the song is so great. The riff alone 😍

@derthomas I listened to One Second, Gothic and one song of Draconian Times. What's your favourite?

derthomas, 7 months ago

@knaaq in terms of albums Tragic Idol followed by Draconian times and Faith Divides Us. Everything past In Requiem is great.

Here's the playlist from a concert I've been to recently, I'd say it's a great starting point:

My vote goes to Rivers Of Nihil if there is a draw. But I assume that Sepultura wins this with a landslide victory.

faltenbalg, 7 months ago

@derthomas I suspect the usual Sepultura controversy will arrive shortly. 😁

derthomas, 7 months ago

@faltenbalg haha! You might be right. But you can't vote for Max Sepultura or post Max Sepultura, there's only one Sepultura and people should accept that.

faltenbalg, 7 months ago

@derthomas Yup!
