Sodom’s Knarrenheinz vs. Black Sabbath’s Henry – Metal Mascot Madness, Quarterfinals

Nothing like a good old fashion thrash and doom tossup! Actually, this might be the first ever thrash and doom tossup. These two genres usually mind their own business around each other, but not when it comes to the road to being crowned "Best Metal Mascot!" It's Knarrenheinz vs. Henry in this Quarterfinal round!

Sodom's wartorn mascot inched out a victory over fellow German thrasher in Kreator's Violent Mind, but had no issue taking care of Metallica's Scary Guy. Knarrenheinz is an imposing mascot capable of extinguishing any and all life. Here, he's not slated to take lives, just votes and he's going to need plenty. Why? Because he's facing Henry of one of the world's most famed metal bands.

After defeating Manowar's burly Manowarrior in Round 1, Black Sabbath's winged mascot Henry continued past Avenged Sevenfold's Deathbat without impedance. This matchup could be the toughest yet for Henry, but he's been in the game too long to know you can't just rest on your laurels, especially with the Semifinals in sight.
