Atheist - 1
Cynic - 1

I've given Focus a few more listens, and I can greatly appreciate the music, but the vocoder ruins it. Early Cynic demos are great, though.
UP is just brilliant, and basically no effects outside the backing soundscapes(which make the atmosphere that much greater.)

This was my first listen of the Cynic album and despite it being accomplished and highly regarded, it left me feeling somewhat deflated whereas the Atheist album is an album I`ve always liked and its their second best as only Elements is better.

Atheist 2
Cynic 1

This is a hard choice. I'd say just from a straight forward quality standpoint (this coming from a non-musician who knows jack **** about jazz or jazz fusion) Atheist take it, but I've got to go with Cynic just for originality. Atheist are a different death metal band, but still a death metal band. I don't know what you'd call Cynic. 'Specially after Traced In Air, which also is brilliant.

Atheist - 2
Cynic - 2

yeah, if Elements was nominated, it'd be a harder choice for me to make

This battle stands at 2-2, if you haven`t voted and know both albums then somebody break the deadlock so I can put the next battle up.

The Cynic album felt exhausting to listen to. The Atheist one is delicious though

Atheist 3
Cynic-2

Atheist win that one 3-2 thanks to Unrelenting breaking the deadlock. Finally after a long wait is this black/death metal showdown from Norway courtesy of Il Duce.

Mayhem De Mysteriis DOM Satanhas 1994


Versus

Darkthrone Soulside Journey 1991
