And this is the outcome of the Final Battle for this edition!

A real BIG THANX to everyone who participated and voted in this edition! Remember... the competition is nothing without your valuable input! ;)

All official things mentioned and said... now it's time to start preparing and building the next edition for this M.B.W.C. Competition!

So, if you want to participate in the creation of the lineup for the next edition, simply post your suggestions here and I will take them into consideration!

Spam post consisting of a single band mentioned will of course be deleted as the forum rules always apply! Just a head's up... ;)

Better start frying your brain over which particular metal band you really REALLY want to see as a contestant in the next Metal Bands World Cup edition!! =D

I think we should do a "best of" battle in particular genre's. Example, best of Death matal, best of Thrash metal, etc.

Even though I think you're idea sounds nice, it's actually already implemented into the MBWC competition you know... the group stages provide a small battle within each sub-genre of Metal! Even though it wasn't that clear in this edition, it will be clearer and more thought out in the next edition, I promise! =)

So, any suggestions for bands you'd like to see participate in the new edition? =)

one may or may not agree with the classification

**** right! Amon Amarth is clearly Melodeath, Alestorm aren't even folkier than some bands you listed as Power metal, Arch Enemy is Melodeath but they've got much more Thrash than pure Death metal. Nightwish fits Symphonic far better than Power metal, too.

Nice! Two lists of Metal bands are already posted by some devoted Metalheads! =D

But... I might need to clarify a bit here... I will be trying to mix the popular bands with the new/less popular/unknown ones a bit as I will alwyas be trying to attract as much voters as possible. And that has prooven itself pretty difficult at times... ;)

I actually don't have to many suggestions.

Melodeath: Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom
Metalcore: Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying
Death Metal: Behemoth
Deathcore ( I actually hate the genre save this one band) Suicide Silence

I wonder who would vote for Amaranthe... Dance-metal.
Also Draconian(Doom metal) isn't well known. Could be interesting.
And just stop putting Iron maiden and stuff in the same list as all the unknown bands, no wonder they win. In my opinion it makes 'the battle' a bit boring. Everyone knows those bands have a lot of fans.
