EXTREME METAL Albums Poll - Nominations Round

Sorry, I assumed everything else was as soft as Conqueror and Silver.

If this is in then Nadja has to be in as well and I don't think it should.

why not Nadja?

Nadja - Touched has already been nominated. Should it be taken off? If you guys think we should take some things off, look through the list and suggest them, we can debate them. I'm open to whatever!

No way should it be removed!

I loooove the first Jesu album but I didn't nominate it coz I'm unsure how extreme it is

But I guess a track like Sun Day basically turns dreampop into metal and vice versa better than anyone else has ever done (inc. alcest) so maybe that's extreme idk

i think it's extreme bc it really successfully creates this harrowing and uncanny atmosphere through which both dreampop and industrial scrapes sound equally sinister, that's fuckin extreme 2 me

i would not nominate the later jesu records

arguably Jugulator for JP was kind of "extreme" but it's also a humongous pile of donkey shit so

Arckanum - ÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞÞ

is that a real album title? that's nuts!

Thank you! I will get all these added a little later!

Satyricon gets dumped on for reasons beyond my comprehension. Every time I listen to Nemesis Divina I'm like god damn this is a perfect album. The earlier two are definitely works in progress, though.

So uh

Satyricon - Nemesis Divina

Thanks for saying this, I had always avoided Satyricon, but god damn this is an amazing album Forhekset -> Du som hater Gud is particularly amazing.

is that a real album title? that's nuts!

Yeah - no idea how it's pronounced though...

oh and:
jazkamer: metal music machine
Vondur: Striðsyfirlýsing

Þ is pronounced 'th' and presumably the album is titled that way because all 11 song names start with this letter.

Has nothing on this band though, which is positively Google-proof.

Ah right, I'd noticed that about the song titles but was still none the wiser about the pronunciation. You learn something new every etc.

Metal writer: So what's the new album called.
Arckanum dude: [pronounces album title]
Metal writer: [wipes face]

Satyricon gets dumped on for reasons beyond my comprehension.

*sigh* can't not nominate this, even though it's totally obscure and didn't influence anyone

Protected Illusion - Festering Fairytales

I found it looking for death/thrash like Sadus, and in all honesty, it outdoes that. It's like you took a crust/grind band from 2015 and transported them back to 1990 and said "make a thrash record, but don't let anyone onto the fact you're from the future." Incredibly precise, proggy and brutal, and I can't believe they weren't huge.

Monstrosity - Spiritual Awakening

Err...SPIRITUAL APOCALYPSE

inspired by seeing them last night and they were great!

I meant to nominate

Liturgy - Aesthetica

instead of Renihilation but why not both.

In fact I'm going to dump some last minute noms because even though nobody will vote for them probably, perhaps some madman will weed through the entire list at some point. I might do that myself, since I've never got round to actually listening to most of the canonical important stuff...

Going to include some Black Twilight Circle because it would be a shame if they were left out

!T.O.O.H.! - Pod vládou biče
!T.O.O.H.! - Rad A Trest
Ashdautas - Where The Sun Is Silent...
Averse - The Endesque Chants
Duobetic Homunkulus - Ani já ani ty robit něbudzeme, šedněme do koča, vozit še budzeme
Kuxan Suum - Kinich Ahau
Morbus Chron - Sweven
Muknal - Muknal
Volahn - A'ab'al
Yellow Eyes - Hammer Of Night

That should be "Aq'ab'al" by Volahn

Fantômas - Suspended Anisusmation

anyone got anything left to nominate? Frobisher hasn't said they've closed yet

Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve

Fantômas - Suspended Anisusmation

What? "Animation" that is

Creepiest autocorrect ever.

I actually have no idea what happened there. Probably more to do with the fact I'm terrible at typing.

OK 1 more

Oranssi Pazuzu - Kosmomonument

Krallice - Ygg Huur
Panopticon - Roads to the North
Alcest - Le Secret (EP)
Deafheaven - New Bermuda
Obliveon - Nemesis
Angel Hair - Pregnant with the Senior Class (does this count?)
Nachtmystium - Assassins: Black Meddle, pt 1
Corrupted - Garten der Unbewusstheit
Spektr - Near Death Experience
Ambergris - Ambergris (EP)
Stara Rzeka - Cień chmury nad ukrytym polem

bit early for 2015 albums just out a week to be called a classic surely?

I don't see the word "classic" anywhere in the OP.

That Stara Rzeka album is great. Not sure how metal it is but I'll probably have to vote for it.

Yeah, Frobisher is free to DQ that, or anything. If it had BM or DM vocals anywhere on it, I thought it was fair to throw out there.

i just mean that ppl prob wont vote for it

I was nominating albums that I might consider voting for, not predicting how other people will vote.

Carcass - Surgical Steel
Tribulation - The Formulas of Death
Tribulation - The Children of the Night
Obsequiae - Aria of Vernal Tombs

Hail Spirit Noir - Oi Magoi
Howls of Ebb - Vigils of the 3rd Eye
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
