The winner of last week's Who Rocks Harder was Pantera, who beat Slayer by an overwhelming majority.This week, we've got a more theological contest -- a battle of good and evil that's demonstrates the full range of independent metal. The first band is As I Lay Dying, the Christian metal group that won the "Ultimate Metal God" award in MTV2's All That Rocks contest in 2006. They're up against Deicide, the pioneering death metal band whose frontman, Glen Benton, deplores Christianity and once branded an inverted cross in his forehead.
The videos are As I Lay Dying's "Nothing Left" (shown above) which was directed by Brian Thompson and Deicide's "Homage For Satan" (displayed below), directed by Alfred Tomaszewski and Matthew Stawski. Place your votes in the comment box below or burn in hell for all eternity. Remember, judge by band, not by video. Also, watch Deicide's "Homage for Satan" again on this weekend's Halloween episode of Headbangers Ball on MTV2.
