Nah, that would be @Jer . @JudasMyGuide has a more specific hate / hate relationship. Must be something Central European.

To be clear: I first read this description years ago and always remember it when someone mentions Csihar. I personally think he’s pretty decent but it’s an apt description lol.

Hi everyone.
Sorry if I upset some people with my comment but..... I felt that the score from that moment was not in line with the love I have interpreted for Night of the Stormrider in the last dozen years or so. I understand now (after searching the forum) Agent Orange has had some strong support, but I thought it would still be less than this iconic Iced Earth album.
I sincerely could not (and still cannot) imagine that Agent Orange is more popular than Night of the Stormrider, on this forum.
Good to see that the tide has changed. I should not have worried that much. It is still more popular.
So Magnus, I was more busy with estimated popularity than with being informed on the quality of the album itself.
You can say I suffer from bias in this duel because NOTS is one of my favourite metal albums.
I am not a big thrash fan myself (I do care for South of Heaven by Slayer, and a few Metal Church albums, and maybe one or two more by other bands, but for the most part the genre is not my thing), nor do I think the genre itself is more popular on this forum than love for a few IE records.
Iced Earth is melodic, the band is influenced by Iron Maiden. The band's music has been popular out here, not because they play reggae or chamber music.

I saw him play bass in an 80's Heavy Metal covers band calling themselves "Fisted Sister"

Am I right in understanding that Attila is not a black metal stage name but this guy's actual name? Which is great if it's true.

Yes, quite a popular name in Hungary as far as I know.
The Flash
Dennis Wilcock did 9/11
The most popular name in Hungary, in fact.
Bathory is a Hungarian surname also, so Attila Bathory wouldn't be a weird sounding name in Hungary at all.

A couple of close battles yet! Are there any more votes out there?
Honestly, Empire, which is a fine album by a generally less impressive band, beating Blind Guardian's best album, and one of the top 3 power metal albums of all time, is absolutely ludicrous.

Well, these are the same voters who killed The Odyssey and Symbol of Salvation and Apex, so
