Dante's Inferno. In the absence of Pure Evil, A Question Of Heaven must win.

Oh my god.  The hardest match ever.  I don't even know if I can vote here.  I'll get back to you all later.
 
Re: Iced Earth Survivor FINAL BATTLE: Inferno vs. Question (Feb 4-5)

Easiest choice ever, made in any final of any survivor, of any season:

A Question Of Heaven. In the absence of Travel in Stygian (the only real concurrent) Dante's Inferno must win.
 
Re: Iced Earth Survivor FINAL BATTLE: Inferno vs. Question (Feb 4-5)

A Question of Heaven.  The only real concurrents for Dante would be the Something Wicked and Gettysburg trilogies (the whole trilogies, not individual songs).

I totally agree.
Dante sucks. I listened A Question Of Heaven about 20 times yesterday and I like it now, but I still can't stand Dante. Over-fucking-long.
 
Re: Iced Earth Survivor FINAL BATTLE: Inferno vs. Question (Feb 4-5)

Dante's Inferno.

Is there a song more emotional than A Question of Heaven? Barlow gives one of the greatest vocal performances ever to go with a song that perfectly wraps up a great album.

When it comes to "Oh, pity me please, I am so in pain, please I need attention for my sadness" emotions: no
When it comes to emotions which have to do with anger, evil, and darkness: yes sir -> Dante's Inferno.
It's Iced Earth's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a very interesting and complex song which keeps you at the edge of your seat. Great riffs.  :shred:

Way to go on making A Question of Heaven sound like a song made by a crappy emo band ;)
 
Re: Iced Earth Survivor FINAL BATTLE: Inferno vs. Question (Feb 4-5)

I've made my decision.  I vote against Dante's Inferno.

What I did was showing that this softer, sweet and sad side is not my favourite side of the band. It's good but I do not find it the best.

I believe that Iced Earth's biggest strength is presented by their outstanding riffs, accompanied by powerful rhythms (especially notable on their second album). I like that aggressive, complex and angry side, rather than the "pity me" stuff.

On Burnt Offerings we hear a more atmospheric, dark, angry, threatening and evil side of the band. Dante's Inferno is one of the best metal tracks ever made.

The top half of our top ten has the right five songs, although (as I said before) I'd put Pure Evil at #1. The others are good, but I don't know if they'd make my personal top ten. Still, it's always interesting to see what songs you guys like too. :bigsmile:

Thanks for playing, everyone!
 
Pretty good list as a whole.
I just expected Travel In Stygian to survive till the final 2. I always considered that one along with Dante's Inferno to be clearly better than the rest of their songs.

If those emo bands wrote songs like this, they would actually be enjoyable  :D
