only ten? seems low. is that normal?
― SeanWayne, Thursday, 2 January 2014 16:30 (ten years ago) link
it's rather low for metal poll, yeah, but hopefully it will flood in once everyones back to work/college.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 2 January 2014 16:47 (ten years ago) link
When you vote please post here to say so. So I can check it went through ok.
Thanks.

― Siegbran, Friday, 3 January 2014 14:39 (ten years ago) link
thanks!
btw guys Campaigning really does work so please go for it. Remember jeff got some dodgy stuff in a few years back just by campaigning!Siegbran has the right idea.
So discuss any of the albums nominated (or tracks) in here!
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 3 January 2014 15:39 (ten years ago) link
I did a good amount of campaigning on the nominations thread, and took a little holiday break. I'll reiterate a few that I feel have been underrated in other polls.

Yeah Avatarium is pretty great... I'm liking Brimstone Coven a lot too!
― Viceroy, Saturday, 4 January 2014 01:25 (ten years ago) link
That Batillus record, Concrete Sustain was my number one. Sludgey, doomy goodness with an industrial edge. Just what the genre needs, I think. Its innovated and doesn't feel stiff like most industrial stuff can get.

For what it's worth, I think the reason that the Sahg has been mostly overlooked is because it doesn't come out in the states until February.
― J3ff T., Saturday, 4 January 2014 21:07 (ten years ago) link
Also, you guys need to listen to the Germ album – especially those of you who think that the Deafheaven is boring. Streaming here: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/streaming-germs-grief/

Cool, just what I'm looking for. I've been wanting to hear more blackened post-punk sounds since getting into the Vaura album. Is there much other stuff in this vein out there?
― jmm, Saturday, 4 January 2014 21:32 (ten years ago) link
xp Don't see how it matters these days, as the Sahg is available digitally worldwide via Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay, etc. III never even had a U.S. release. What label is putting it out? Hope that means they'll actually tour the U.S.
― Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 4 January 2014 22:05 (ten years ago) link
and its not like the rolling promo crew dont get their promos months earlier anyway
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 4 January 2014 22:51 (ten years ago) link
i listened to germ with high expectations, it was wack
― j., Saturday, 4 January 2014 23:04 (ten years ago) link
It matters if the people that make the lists (critics) don't get the album until well into the next year – most writers probably won't be getting it until February unless they're doing a review like I am. And if they don't get the album as a promo, they usually means that they don't realize that it exists. Just kind of how works. Writers often get the album only several weeks ahead of the release date, not months.
Also, J, have you considered that the wackness lies with you and not Germ?
― J3ff T., Sunday, 5 January 2014 00:27 (ten years ago) link
hypothesis considered and REJECTED
― j., Sunday, 5 January 2014 02:02 (ten years ago) link
Not feeling that Germ.. I'm thinking this is gonna be the new trend though. A former drum student of my sent me a link a few months ago doing something similar-he didn't get into the new wave up tempos, but the vibe was very close. One man bands, non performance more than likely, dark, none blast beat black metal, that has a dark wave feel.. I think this will be a little more appealing to a lot of folks as well. It don't do shit for me, but whatevs..
― SeanWayne, Sunday, 5 January 2014 03:07 (ten years ago) link
I'm stunned right now at how good the Bölzer EP is. Such a huge sound and so expressive.
― jmm, Sunday, 5 January 2014 04:03 (ten years ago) link
Entranced by the Wolfshook, holy shit. That's one of the hugest opening riffs I've ever heard.
― jmm, Sunday, 5 January 2014 04:36 (ten years ago) link
anybody with passing interest in space rock or stoner rock should probably spend sixty minutes of their lives checking out this album from the Cosmic Dead. It's p far out, but I dug it.

Is this going to be the end of ILM metal polls? That would be too bad cuz I always felt the results were by far the best, most well-rounded of all the metal polls. One list to rule them all \m/
However, if Deafheaven win this year I take that back, cuz seriously, they can suckit ;)

BTW I had no access to the spreadsheet for tracks, and did not volunteer for that nonsense. I can barely keep track of the hundreds and hundreds of albums. I will vote for tracks from what's available though.

I could pretty easily come up with the minimum 5 albums from the fairly comprehensive album list, but scanning that track list, there are only 2 songs I recognize. Not sure if I'll have enough time to listen through the rest before Friday. Is the tracks ballot required?

no its voluntary. there is a playlist on spotify tho
