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.

Aww I didn't know that re: Dawnbringer

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.

you'll eat your pope hat xp

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."

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.

I just voted

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.

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
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 23:02 (seven years ago) link
this Marsh Dweller album is rad
(thx CS)
― alpine static, Friday, 16 December 2016 23:04 (seven years ago) link
false metal usually gets nommed by imago or george so own up
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 December 2016 23:05 (seven years ago) link
just a reminder (and I think it should only be open to voters but that's up to simon h)
oh btw I reiterate this pledge if anyone feels up for an extra layer of tomfoolery
FYI everyone I will be offering a **special metal mystery prize** to whoever most accurately guesses the top 20

I was surprised to see Sunwatchers here too
I still voted for it (further down) because it rules
― Dinsdale, Friday, 16 December 2016 23:38 (seven years ago) link
Our computer has been on the fritz so tt will need a few more minutes...nearly done!
― imago, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:00 (seven years ago) link
well that midnight UK time but basically you have until seandalai gets up in morning and closes the voting.
If you intend on voting I suggest you mention it here so he can look out for it
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:01 (seven years ago) link
except imago of course ;)
i just voted.
prob should've asked this before sending, but i voted for one thing that wasn't nominated. that's not gonna break your all's system, is it?
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:16 (seven years ago) link
nope, thats ok. Just means it wont make the poll because you forgot to vote for it and no one else will have voted for it
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:23 (seven years ago) link
oh cool, Jute Gyte released another thing a couple of days ago, deffo resubmitting :p
― imago, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:24 (seven years ago) link
YOU HAVE UNTIL SEANDALAI WAKES UP IN THE MORNING TO VOTEHe will post here when voting is closed
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:38 (seven years ago) link
Done! Made it to 50 this year!
― dance band (tangenttangent), Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:39 (seven years ago) link
I assume yours will likely be the last ballot received since nobody else has stated they intend on voting
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 00:45 (seven years ago) link
It's true, I nominated Sunwatchers
― sushi and the banh mis (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 17 December 2016 01:37 (seven years ago) link
Resubmitted my ballot! That really will be the last word. Just had to add the new Jute Gyte, then also Ophidian Forest and then bump up Forgotten Spell one place because like omg

ok
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 14:48 (seven years ago) link
but how can an album imago only found about after he had his ballot have been heard enough to really call it one of the albums of the year?
― Cosmic Slop, Saturday, 17 December 2016 14:49 (seven years ago) link
I assume as seandalai hasnt posted yet there's still time to vote if you havent already

Like Slabdragger? Damn. I saw it in the Terrorizer list and realized I forgot it. I wish more people would have talked up some of their faves per Kerr's request.

OK, trying the Oathbreaker album because it's high up and somehow passed me by - probably going to stop it soon since it's literally a Deafheaven clone that just so happens to have a female vocalist (and not a very good one either...)
