Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Welcome one and all to the First Annual Hardcore Husky Metal National Invitational Tournament. Seeding and brackets were decided upon by our council of expert headbangers @Swaye @Fire_Marshall_Bill @Bad_MotherDucker & @YellowSnow. Brackets were broken up by genre as follows with *at large* bids given to the lower end of the brackets when it was decided that a band from another genre was higher overall seeded than a low seed in that bracket/genre. In other words, there wasn't a neat and tidy way to break up metal bands into four categories so some bands were shoehorned into lower seeds.




Bands will play out in seeded brackets that mix up the matchups so that in-conference/genre bands won't meet until the elite eight at the earliest. This will hopefully eliminate the tendency for strong bracket contenders knocking each-other out in the early rounds. Without further delay, I give you the brackets.




Games(polling) will begin this week in a staggered starting format with three days given for voting.

    I have Motorhead as the strongest 4 seed of all time.

    Conveniently, I am going through a Motorhead phase right now.

    My life is a Motorhead phase.


    I'm slow strategy AF, have never done coke, and don't own a motorcycle. That said, I lean more punk rock than most of the metal heads here so Motorhead is my kind of sound.

    Not too concerned, the red has a soft spot for many of white mans addition to the new world, chief (lol!) among them firewater and white chicks. Robots are not on the list.

    Shouldn’t Bon Jovi be included in the shock/glam category?

    Korn must be a PAC 12 team to get seeded so low and against Judas priest.

    Some of it is. Some of it is great, however. The metal heads wanted their shitty little NIT and by god we're gonna let them have their turn. Hip hop will be next.

    I fucking love this tourney. And not just Metal. I can't wait to vote in the rap, r&b, and country polls as well. Shit is fun, even if you don't love the style. Unless you are a ding dong like @skinned
    I can't wait to piss and moan about hip hop czar @dnc 's seedings and cite records sold statistics.
