shitty poll like every metal hammer poll in all languages, like best bass player: Steve Harris for the last 138 years!!
c'mon half of the bands arent of the death metal genre....
Pursuit of Vikings is, while a great metal song, not of the death metal genre. Amon Amarth does have death metal songs but PoV isn't one of them.
