Fuck Brumpxit its the 2016 Metal and Hard N' Heavy Rock Poll Results Thread (With spotify and bandcamp links)

Out of curiosity, how is accuracy being judged here? Does order matter?

I would have thought that was the point

guess the order of the top 20 and the closest guess gets the prize

astronoid are basically deafheaven x devin townsend. not sure about the songwriting but the sound is pretty intense

lol I haven't thought of the criteria too hard, probably whoever gets the most slots correct, then accuracy in case of a tiebreaker

1. Vektor
2. Oranssi Pazuzu
3. Khemmis
4. Aluk Todolo
5. Metallica
6. Sumac
7. Jute Gyte
8. Sub Rosa
9. Mesarthim
10. Thy Catafalque
11. Virus
12. Destroyer 666
13. Hail Spirit Noir
14. Schammasch
15. Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas
16. Wormed
17. Hammers of Misfortune
18. Moon Tooth
19. Gorguts
20. Wormrot

surely its gotta be in order as you said guess the top 20

yeah I might have to get fancy cause these lists are mostly pretty damn similar lol

^ xxp That was my guess, if it wasn't obvious.

Astronoid are just some amazing emo afaict

Moon Tooth sound exactly like I'd expect a Tom pick to sound

I remember how excited he was that time I told him to check out Chiodos

moon tooth is some nifty prog-thrash-pop-sludge hyperactivity

That was Dan who loved Chiodos. Still does.

I'm excited to see people getting behind Moon Tooth, it's really fun. My #1 (spoilers)

no spoilers! (tho im sure everyone guessed anyway)

there's no difference between you and dan (I think dan may have posted once or twice here like a dozen years ago)

I stick by my description of Astronoid as Mew gone death metal

You've just won sund4r over by saying mew

it was inside my top 10 (more spoilers) xxp

now wondering why i didn't put it in my prediction. oh well

mew is def the vocal approach here. astronoid yet to record anything as monstrously kickass as 'rows' on this evidence but i'm reasonably impressed tbh

oi

sorry ;_;

I guess its proof that campaigning/boosting really works. Maybe you could get it into the 77 if you campaign on that thread?

Which reminds me seandalai does the tabulation on that poll too so please go nominate lots of metal from this poll and campaign for it. We got uncle acid in the top 10 one year
ILM's 2016 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

this is going to sound v false & vnkvlt but only my top 5 metal albums are scheduled to be in my 25 ballot positions for the main show this year, sorry everyone. it's just been such a good year all-around

fuuuuck I forgot Hail Spirit Noir on my list. i weep.

this is why RYM exists, folks

i'd love to say "no way do deftones not place in the top 20" but i've never successfully predicted a metal poll. psyched to see deafheaven at no. 1

I feel like maybe I should have campaigned for Skuggsjá, it came out early in the year so now I'm worried it'll be forgotten.

the closest points of comparison i can think of for moon tooth are faith no more and shudder to think. but harder and faster

"what if shudder to think were a metal band" is a question i didn't know i needed answered

I didn't forget Skuggsjá! (At least I don't think so...) I've had the song Skuggeslåtten on repeat all year.

"what if shudder to think were a metal band" is a question i didn't know i needed answered

Haven't got around to listening to the Moon Tooth yet but I am very much interested in the answer to this!

Oathbreaker sound nothing like deafheaven (listening on Spotify) . Presumably people say this because they are on the same record label?

Just been given the results, not even looked at them yet. Anyone still around? I can post a few to get us started/give you something to listen to

DON'T TALK ABOUT

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS

DO IT

DO IT

Just post up through Moon Tooth (which is #1)

Top 101 like previous years

heh something big was #103 if only their biggest boosters had voted, eh?

does it end in 'llica'?

Bring on the main act!

I'm guessing a dominique leone vote here

Low on my list, but it was on there. It lost points for the idiosyncratic spelling.

It's on my to-listen-to list since a bunch of folks repped for it, but the name kinda put me off.

v siilly name but this sounds really good, damn

42 ballots btw think it was either 63 or 67 last year

Maybe the metal bubble's deflating.

I have theories as to why that # is down but maybe let's hash that out another time

no, please elucidate

I thought Blood Ceremony and Abbath would both be higher. I haven't heard either one myself, but I thought there was a lot of talk about them on the rolling metal thread.

Probably was but a lot of people didn't vote this year

l0u1s jagg3r I once made this guy sit through a Whit Stillman movie naked against his will and he's repaid me by making one of the best metal albums of 2016. There's no justice Favorite track: Reflecting Pool.
