I've listened to BT a few times, but I've never latched on to any of their records like I did with Prowler in the Yard.<br /><br />A&A - No vote.<br /><br />Scandinavia - This is the hardest call for me to make in the tournament thus far. I am a big fan both of these bands but I think I have to go with Rotten Sound as they have more releases that I enjoy. I love Gadget's The Funeral March record, but Remote never did much for me. On the RS front, Cycles, Exit, Consume to Contaminate and Murderworks are all awesome.<br /><br />E&UK - I haven't listened to Mad Axe Men, so I guess ND wins by default.

The old guys just made a bunch of noise, Scott Hull and Co. had the crowd in their graps and played every song flawlessly.

However, BT are just too weird and too ferocious to be fucked with. The new record was tits, and the tracks they did for This Comp are, uh, truly brutal.<br /><br />A and A: Wormrot.<br /><br />I have checked out the Kill now, and their recent live-to-air album is on its way to my doorstep. However, I am still too firmly on the Wormrot bandwagon. Bouncy ridiculously awesome, etc etc etc<br /><br />Scandi: Rotten Sound.<br /><br />Gadget are a bit sterile for me. Not just in production, I think. Something about them prevents them from standing out firmly in my mind. <br /><br />Rotten Sound could use a little of the grit of old these days, as well, but they just outclass Gadget hands down.<br /><br />Europe: Napalm Death.<br /><br />Most people probably thought the rule about not judging a band based on their legacy would hurt ND. Consider that this also means we can ignore the bulk of their 90s output and focus on their return to grinding.

This is such a hard decision. I'm going to have to go with Wormrot just because they've so goddamn exciting right now, even though I LOVE the Kill and they're by far my favorite Australian band.<br /><br />Scandi- Gadget. I love their sci-fi style, and their riffs kill. Also, they've got both fewer and more interesting releases than Rotten Sound.<br /><br />Continental Europe and UK- Attack of the Mad Axeman.
