YOU ARE: still just a rat in a cage (despite all your rage).

i love both songs but i must pledge my allegience to METAL

"new dawn fades" is metal, though.

no, it isn't

good argument. you're absolutely right.

"Fade to Black" would have had a better chance. Joy Division wins.

JD is dub metal motorik, thus their genius. Metallica is METALLICA, thus theirs at one point. Now, not so much.

sorry, sabor de gene. I should say that it doesn't really do anything musically that's metal; it's gloomy, sure, but so's Schubert's "Death and the Maiden," which also isn't metal. Some say that metal's a feeling or a mood; I don't. Electric guitars & a gloomy mood don't equal metal, nor does a soft spot for Hawkwind; hence "New Dawn Fades," while sharing a few rudimentary characteristics with heavy metal, ain't.

"Got some death to do!"

Gotta go with WH(S) on this one.

Sorry but this is almost impossible to choose.
JD wins by default I suppose because I never listen to metallica now.

banana you know i heart you but the all-or-nothing metal-purism has gotta stop

― stockholm cindy (from norway) (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

All-one or none! All-one or none!

seriously though I'm no purist! Ulver, Primordial, Nile, Mayhem, Sabbath, shoot even Steppenwolf if you want, that's all metal! New Dawn Fades ain't though, any more than a track with a violin on it is automatically "classical"

any more than a track with a violin on it is automatically "classical"

there's a difference between saying a goth song is like a metal song and saying that (for example) omg that dog's "he's kissing christian" is EXACTLY THE SAME as some 18th century chamber piece.

MIRROR STARES BACK HARD.

The Moby cover would have stood a better chance. M*tallica wins.

I've never heard the Metallica song. "New Dawn Fades" always gets a bad rap but I really really like it. One of my favorite JD tracks.
