I didn't even veto the Dalek album. I am a benevolent dictator!
Alex if you have a good working definition of extreme metal you are free to enlighten us.(xp no Grady's was in response to mine)

was it? I thought he was ahead of you in the queue but just unable to run it just now

Ok, I'm not sure now... who knows... its somewhere on that huge thread two years ago. They were thought up basically at the same time though.

I'll be working on adding the nominations from today so far, thanks for all the interest everybody! I think its going really well.

I don't at all! I'm actually wondering if the term is even relevant now!

It probably isn't since metal has split into thousands of microgenres but its a good umbrella term for the purposes of frobisher's poll.
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 28 September 2015 23:59 (eight years ago) link
It's definitely more catchy than metal 1981-2015 that does not include X, Y and Z I'll give you that.

Awesome. I forgot about a lot of that Relapse stuff. One of many things I miss about regularly shopping at music stores is being able to see Relapse titles at a glace thanks to that little card over the top of the CD -- and in those days there was a good chance it would be something cool.
For all I know the label is still kicking ass; I never think to check the "bigger" label sites anymore, esp for news. I think I should do that right now!
― Devilock, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 00:50 (eight years ago) link
xps Sorry Alex, I didn't mean to be testy. I'm just trying to be very unbiased and that means I am letting people include things that may not be completely extreme or completely metal. Although I think you might be right that the 'extreme' sub-genres have pretty much become the main focus of metal in general. OTOH Limp Bizkit released a new album this year.

Alright so I have the sheet up to date! We currently have 424 nominated albums! Thank you so much for your participation!

Relapse is still a very good label.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 01:55 (eight years ago) link
Possibly not an extreme one though hah.

Hey guys! It looks like nominations are dying down, although there's things I can think of that haven't gotten nommed yet... Anyway, I am suddeenly dealing with a thing that will take a lot of my time over the next few days. So you are free to keep nominating, I believe Cosmic Slop volunteered to help update the list, so you're free to do that if you want CS. Thanks everybody I think we're gonna end up with a great poll! Especially if everyone who's been nominating also votes!
― Frobisher, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 19:05 (eight years ago) link
I did?
lol
OK, I'll keep an eye on it by adding stuff/keeping up to date but im not deciding what counts as extreme metal!
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 19:16 (eight years ago) link

add your own!
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:30 (eight years ago) link
The formatting you have is weird.I usually just use 1 column with Artist - Album so I can copy & paste from here directly.Cant do that the way its set up.
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:31 (eight years ago) link
Nirvana 2002 was a great Swedish death metal band, contemporaries of Entombed, Dismember, etc. They never released a proper record, but fans of that style love them (and their singer Orvar Säfström was briefly in Entombed).
― Dominique, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:35 (eight years ago) link
and yeah, they were forced to change their name once another, lesser band came along
― Dominique, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:36 (eight years ago) link
xp I know I messed up at the start, I realized too late that I should have just had one column. Don't know if its worth fixing at this point. But don't worry about it, I'll add the nominations myself in a little bit here.
Thanks Dom, surprised I've never heard of them!
― Frobisher, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:37 (eight years ago) link
If you work out a way to fix it then im happy to add ppls noms!
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:38 (eight years ago) link
and i couldnt figure out to to get them in the a-z order either as you have the headings.
its not easy running polls is it? :)
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 21:39 (eight years ago) link
unfortunately, no it is not.
― Frobisher, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 22:12 (eight years ago) link
Ok I found an easy way to do it, and now we have a one-column list! This should be much easier to deal with.

Kvist - For kunsten maa vi evig vike
(I was just reading a thread on one-album wonders and I have no idea how I forgot this one)
I feel like there are some holes in these nominations but I'm not at all qualified to fill em. Like some of the black metal of the non-Scandinavian variety, say Master's Hammer, Mortuary Drape, the S American stuff. And bdm like Defeated Sanity or Katalepsy, which I hear a lot about but never actually listen to. We need ... emissaries or something.
Oh
Melechesh - Sphynx (I can't decide between the following three albums; they're all great though)

― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 23:59 (eight years ago) link
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris
I thought this had been nommed already. Not so, it turns out.
― Devilock, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 00:04 (eight years ago) link
yeah the problem I have = I feel like I've been cramming metal into all of my orifices for over half of my adult life and then I see people posting enthusiastically on these threads about some other classic albums that I not only haven't heard but haven't heard OF and I'm like how do I catch up to the metal. how.
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 00:06 (eight years ago) link
with your ears!
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 01:05 (eight years ago) link
...and eyes. I have read a shitload about metal in the past 3 years, via the internet, but also the Slayer Mag anthology, D. Ekeroth's Swedish death metal book, D. Patterson's black metal book, Fenriz's band of the week. Hell, I found 3 amazing bands today just from reading a death/thrash list at RYM.
― Dominique, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 01:19 (eight years ago) link
Oh I mean I get that, I subscribe to Decibel, and often fish for obscure acts on metal-archives.com. Just find I have less and less time to devote to giving it all meaningful listens!
