Death Match

Vote for either Slayer's 'Implode' or Overkill's 'Armorist' in this Loudwire Death Match.

Slayer are halfway to our Death Match Hall of Fame with the thrashing new track 'Implode.' After a clean win against Wretched in Slayer's last match, we've got a colossal battle in store for the metal legends this time around. Mastodon's sixth full-length, 'Once More 'Round the Sun,' has just been unleashed, with one of the album's strongest tracks, 'Chimes at Midnight,' entering the Death Match..

Will Slayer plow through yet another foe? Or will Wretched pull off a phenomenal win? The vote you cast will decide.

Will Slayer destroy the Haunted? Or will the Swedish metal act blow Slayer away? Your votes will decide!

Between the Buried and Me have just earned their spot in our scared Hall with the track 'Lay Your Ghosts to Rest.'

Will Between the Buried and Me win their fourth and final Death Match? Or will Betraying the Martyrs cause their opponents to meet their end?

Will Between the Buried and Me conquer yet another foe? Or can Origin manifest a victory over BTBAM?

Can Between the Buried and Me continue the trip to the Death Match Hall of Fame? Or will Every Time I Die's thirst for victory overthrow our current champions?

Congrats to the Agonist, who just won their second consecutive Death Match with the new single 'Disconnect Me.' The band only needs two more wins to enter the Death Match Hall of Fame, but they've got to get through one of metal's finest bands to get there.

DevilDriver were just one victory away from entering the Death Match Hall of Fame, but in a close race, the Agonist were able to best their adversaries. The Agonist now begin their own trek to the sacred hall, but a certain legendary act now stands in their way.
