Campaign 1: Steel Battalion, Battle 2 - Mystic Twilight vs Iron Fire

Mystic Twilight. This is one of the more obscure bands in this crusade. Unsigned and with merely one album under their belt (2009's The Path Seldom Mortal Goes), they formed in order to perform a blend of epic and symphonic metal (source). That's all about them, really. Their inclusion is a nod to the hundreds of Italian Rhapsody clones out there that are cheesy by their very existence, and can't possibly all be included here.

Iron Fire. So Manowar are ready to die for metal, but Iron Fire would kill for it. As George S. Patton said, No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. So this Danish group has the attitude right, but can they compete with an army of immortals? They have been going on for almost two decades now, with a nice batch of albums in their back catalogue, but with less than 40,000 listeners on last.fm, they need your support!

So do we vote for the one we like more or the one we find cheesier?

 

[Perun]

I knew it...

Cheesier.

 

[Night Prowler]

Iron Fire's song made me want to bath in oil, put on furry pants and slay poseurs with my sword. So it gets my vote

 

[Ariana]

Mystic Twilight - Oh myyyyy.... his accent! That's not cheesy, it's embarrassing.

Iron Fire are way better here, I'd definitely hear more of them.
Edit: "Way better" as in "a promising dairy product facility".

 

[Saapanael]

I knew it...

Cheesier.

It's just that "Vote for your favourite song!" and "Which band is cheesier?" got me confused. I read the Rules of Metal as well now.

 

[Perun]

I mean "favourite" as the song that you want to win.

 

[Saapanael]

Oh yeah, that accent on Mystic Twilight. Also, it disturbs me that the album name is "The Path Seldom Mortal Goes" instead of "The Path Mortal Seldom Goes". Despite that, there is plenty of cheese to be found in the song. Vote goes for it.

 

[Perun]

You people had better get used to Italian accents in this game.

 

[Brigantium]

Aw. Give me mord time

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

The singer in Mystic Twilight sounds less like a guy with a thick Italian accent and more like Klaus Meine with a speech impediment. This is just bad.

Iron Fire wins!

 

[Collin]

Mystic Twilight actually started out decent, but when it got to the middle... My ears were bleeding. So they get my vote.

 

[Brigantium]

O, cheese giants both. They equally get points for Tolkienesque knock off artwork, but I hadmore fun with Mystic Twilight in the end.

 

[Unknown One]

Both are extremely cheesy, but I think the chorus from the Iron Fire song takes it.

 

[RTC]

Need to re-listen, but Iron Fire are a very underrated power metal band, and that album has some great songs like The Battlefield and the Title Track.

 

[LooseCannon]

I think we need to go at least by the cheese levels of things like the album covers. I'll go with Mystic Twilight. That unnecessary piano was so...gouda.
