This would seriously be threatening the very top of my list had I heard it a couple of weeks earlier. Thank you ultros and DAM for highlighting it. Pure chaos. Weirdly inspiring.

yeah uh this was, in the end, the most metal album

i voted, with my somewhat uninformed ballot of 13 unholy albums
― nomar, Friday, 16 December 2016 01:14 (seven years ago) link
Völur is pretty cool. Doom metal with no guitar is a weird idea.

I thought about boosting it but didn't think anyone would give a fuck, ILM continues to surprise me

Ok one last, probably too late one, but I loved this record. Nox Formulae:
http://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-hidden-paths-to-black-ecstasy
Greek occult black metal, solid songwriting and enough leftfield ideas to make it distinct and very listenable, with some deathrock/goth influence I hear in the riffs and minor-key melodies.

whoa the moon tooth record might be everything i like about music

Yeah, I just heard that one. The guitarist is awesome.
― jmm, Friday, 16 December 2016 15:11 (seven years ago) link
yeah it's really something
the track Igneous is like Tool on some sort of insane thrash-metal tip, except I like it more than either

Hey CS, I just resubmitted my ballot.
― jmm, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:11 (seven years ago) link
ok seandalai will get that but it maybe means only 25 ballots so everyone reading who hasnt voted please vote especially those who think they dont know enough to vote - look at the nominations list and see if there's anything you like afterall
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:12 (seven years ago) link
I'll vote when I get home (form blocked from work), but it will be RIGHT on the deadline, as I get home then.
― Dominique, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:45 (seven years ago) link
no worries, I dont expect it to close until seandalai gets up tomorrow morning but if you intend on voting after midnight UK time please let him know here.
UK voters have no excuses tho so get in before midnight!
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link
there will be no rollout starting tonight. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon as its been the past few years.
Who does still intend to vote ?
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:50 (seven years ago) link
And remember simon h's offer to those who vote of a free prize for the winner of his challenge

you can always resubmit later if you want to change anything just let us know here
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 17:49 (seven years ago) link
Me and imago will be voting at around midnight, of course
― dance band (tangenttangent), Friday, 16 December 2016 18:05 (seven years ago) link
what other albums are you still to listen to?
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:12 (seven years ago) link
Working on my ballot. Here's a cluster of doom albums that I hope aren't overlooked:
Troll – TrollGoatess - Purgatory Under New ManagementLord Vicar - Gates of FleshCardinals Folly – Holocaust Of Ecstacy And Freedom
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:19 (seven years ago) link
Well that sucks, we forgot these EPs:
Dawnbringer – XX EP Black Sabbath – The End EP
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:41 (seven years ago) link
It's a bit late now since most have voted but i can add them to the spreadsheet but im not sure they would get enough votes regardless when they were nommed
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link
Agreed, it's too late. EPs wouldn't get much traction anyway. Too bad, that's Dawnbringer's final output.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:48 (seven years ago) link
Aww I didn't know that re: Dawnbringer
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 16 December 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link
added anyway but only ep i ever remember doing well was the 1st Bolzer and before that a Meshuggah 1 track ep
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link
scott seward always bemoans bands not starting off with a few ep's before albums like how it used to be but I guess it's just not the modern way?
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 19:19 (seven years ago) link
the Ghost album won last year but I'll eat my hat if the ep nominated wins this poll.
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 19:20 (seven years ago) link
I already voted but here it is: https://dawnbringer.bandcamp.com/album/xx-2
I think it's worthy of being considered among the albums. The Black Sabbath, Ghost, Pallbearer and Witch Mountain EPs are just a hodgepodge of leftovers and covers mainly.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 16 December 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link
you'll eat your pope hat xp
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 16 December 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link
I mean, I like the new Witch Mountain song, "Burn You Down" a nice intro to their new singer. The other track is a re-do of "Hare's Stare."
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 16 December 2016 19:23 (seven years ago) link
we broke the 30 ballot mark but thats more than 50% down on recent years so fingers crossed lots of people will still vote before the end
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 21:34 (seven years ago) link
I'm a big doom fan, but this was the year that Sludge metal records totally kicked Doom Metal's ass composition-wise. That Goatess record grew on me, and probably should have made my top 50, but got shut out by SubRosa and Spirit Adrift just slightly.
― BlackIronPrison, Friday, 16 December 2016 21:43 (seven years ago) link
I just voted
― Dinsdale, Friday, 16 December 2016 21:58 (seven years ago) link
I voted
― Frobisher, Friday, 16 December 2016 22:04 (seven years ago) link
Id say its pretty safe to say that you all have until 8am uk time to vote but dont just leave it to last minute incase it changes
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 22:07 (seven years ago) link
I fully support Spirit Adrift pushing Goatess off yr list!
While that's the end of Dawnbringer, I'm hoping elements will turn up in Chris Black's next solo project as Professor Black. At Alehorn of Power he played songs from all his bands - Superchrist, Dawnbringer, High Spirits and Pharaoh, with a few different players rotating on stage.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 16 December 2016 22:08 (seven years ago) link
Voted! A 22-strong ballot in the end, much of which has been added over the last few days. Handing the laptop over to tt now for her go. The last thing I added to the ballot was Deathspell Omega after one final listen, at the end of which tt wrote I'M AN ATHEIST on my hand
― imago, Friday, 16 December 2016 22:44 (seven years ago) link
we're close but not past deadline, yah? i'm in process of voting, should be done soon.
― alpine static, Friday, 16 December 2016 22:46 (seven years ago) link
lol why is Sunwatchers nominated
― alpine static, Friday, 16 December 2016 22:50 (seven years ago) link
Voted. Apooogies for everything that I nominated that didnt make my ballot; youll be up for consideration when I nake my main albums ballot...
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 16 December 2016 22:58 (seven years ago) link
Lol 'Apooogies'. That might be my favorite typo
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 16 December 2016 22:59 (seven years ago) link
I expect that you have another 8 or 9 hours as seandalai wont be tabulating til he wakes up in morning
ps never heard of sunwatchers
