Loudwire Rock Bowl Semifinals Well, isn’t this an interesting matchup? Metallica ‘s ‘Seek and Destroy’ squares off against Avenged Sevenfold ‘s ‘Seize the Day’ to determine which act will advance to the finals of the 2013 Loudwire Bowl. Two very different songs, but each with a title that helps define football. Metallica’s ‘Seek and Destroy’ has enjoyed a relatively easy patch to the semifinals, besting Volbeat’s ‘A Warrior’s Call’ in the first round earning 71 percent of the vote and staving off Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ in the quarterfinals with just shy of 64 percent of the final tally. As for ‘Seek and Destroy,’ the hard-hitting song has what it takes to amp up just about anyone and the talk of starting a fight is just the competitive spirit you want out of a football song. As for Avenged Sevenfold, they outlasted Shinedown’s ‘Devour’ in Round 1 by earning just shy of 64 percent of the vote. Then, in the quarterfinals, their fans rallied to boost them past Disturbed’s ‘Indestructible’ with 60 percent of the vote. Though the track may not be as hard as some of their competitors, the song is no less inspiring. Name an NFL player, especially during playoff time, that can’t identify with the sentiment “Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost.” The song rings true with the idea of making every moment count. Will ‘Seek and Destroy’ advance and survive or will ‘Seize the Day’ live up to its title? The battle begins now and you can vote once per hour to help ensure your favorite moves on to the 2013 Loudwire Rock Bowl. Voting continues through this Friday (Feb. 1) at 10AM ET.

January 28th, 2013 Metalkult 2013 Loudwire Rock Bowl Quarterfinals If you can’t get amped up with these two songs vying to advance in this 2013 Loudwire Rock Bowl matchup, then you might want to check your pulse to see if you’re still alive. It’s Slipknot ‘s ‘Wait and Bleed’ squaring off against Rob Zombie ‘s ‘Superbeast’ in the quarterfinals. Though P.O.D.’s ‘Boom’ may be an NFL stadium favorite, the track proved to be no match to Slipknot’s ‘Wait and Bleed,’ which received 70 percent of the vote in the first round. Singer Corey Taylor ‘s pent up angst on the track is just waiting to be released and the act of psyching yourself up to pound pads with an opposing player is not uncommon for an NFL player. Meanwhile, Rob Zombie barely escaped round one with ‘Superbeast’ receiving just over 50 percent of the vote over Five Finger Death Punch’s ‘Back for More,’ making it the closest match of the first round. Zombie’s highly aggressive, hard-driving track can raise your heartbeats per minute rather easily. But does this ‘Superbeast’ have what it takes to best Slipknot? Here’s your chance to let your voice be heard. Vote in the poll below between now and Jan. 30 at 10AM ET. You can vote once per hour for your favorite between Slipknot and Rob Zombie.
