Red Harvest- AEP

vs.

Borknagar- Universal

N00bs

Not really a contest for me here. One of Red Harvest's Best vs an ok Borknagar song.

A permanent fog of red and orange after a nuclear fallout; people walking around in a dusty haze with 2 inches of protective clothing and biomasks; rusted cars and oil rigs that go on forever; buildings destroyed; people starving and hiding from roaming, psychotic cannibals and killers. I'll take door #1 over that very good and refreshing Borknagar song.

AEP

AEP is a little more exciting than Universal. Although both songs aren't that great.

Red harvest was pretty brutal I'll have to check them out but I'm going with Universal because its just more memorable with an amazing chorus.

Blaise

Goobs this going to be tough. I like both songs. I'm going to have to listen to these two for a while and see which one fades first.

the score so far:

AEP- 3
Universal- 1

Oni

Just not feeling Borknagar in this one..

I got to go with Universal, the red harvest track was allright...i think they played the main riff too much and im not a big fan of the electronic elements of the song.

Definitely Red Harvest!!!

I think it's 1st time I heard from them, but I love it instantly. I also put STGM on my list of albums to check out. Mix of industrial and metal usually doesn't appeal to me, but this is more mechanic than melodic (i.e. more industrial than metal), it sounds more like Ministry than, say, Strapping Young Lad.

Unfortunately, the album isn't as awesome as that song.

I go back to it every so often to see if maybe it was just me. Nope. It's the CD.

I have to go with Borknagar. I think that with songs like this and Colossus they are great. I get pissed when they try to be black metal. It is lame.

The Red Harvest track was extremely high quality industrial metal however.

the score so far:

AEP- 5
Universal- 3

Iced

Not a fan of the industrial stuff. I'll go with Borknagar.

Erik

Never heard Red Harvest before but, I enjoyed AEP a lot more then the boring drab of the Bork. Maybe it was the length and energy of both songs.

Again they're both pretty meh, but I'll go with Universal.

Blaise

I'm still having a hard time deciding between thsese two. I think Universal is a good song but I keep on thinking of how it's not as good as Collosus and it drags on a bit. AEP has good punch and cool sounds but not alot of depth....Hmmmm AEP would have been a cool song in "District 9" (what a cool movie!).

the score so far:

AEP- 6
Universal- 5

Haha ya i totally agree!

I was getting so mad at that movie for the first half of it, and then it turned! It's a great movie.

Wigg

AEP was some very cool industrial. Universal was some good avant garde BM.

I'll go with Universal. Vortex has my vote, and my heart.

Amok

I generally hate industrial but that song has an edge over the rest of the genre. It also conjures up images for me and that's always a good thing.
