This is the comparison you've all been waiting for. Two, metal albums from the same decade, and the same continent, and starting with the same letter, M, which also stars off metal :dio:

Image

Swiss technical thrashers/Beatles cover band called Coroner released Mental Vortex in 1991.


Image

Swedish uncatergorizeables known as Opeth released this album in 1998.


Think of the similarities between these albums:

-Both have a runtime between 45-55 minutes. Simply uncanny!
-Both feature lyrics sung in English by vocalists whose first language is not English. You've got to be kidding me!
-Both were recorded by legendary producer, Bob Rock. I think...


Anyroad, both albums were made to be compared, contrasted, critiqued, poked, prodded, caressed...so have at it!

Yes, he is.

And it's far better than the De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas vs. No Strings Attached as a joke poll.

Coroner, of course. But that's not the point.

I haven't heard Mental Vortex.

But My Arms, Your Hearse is a mighty fine album.

:lol: Thank you!
I actually do own both cds, that was a rule I had to live by for this.
My Arms, Your Hearse for me.


Anyone for Amongst the Catacombs OF Nephren Ka vs. Seventh Son of Seventh Son?

How about Imaginations from the Other Side vs. Panzerfaust?

Light of Day, Day of Darkness vs. North From Here?

This is entirely too fun!
