Finally... The Top 200 Extreme Metal Albums of ALL TIME!(results)

Thanks so much guys, it's been a lot of fun. Lots of things I still need to dig into/spend more time with.

Can't argue with that. Great work Frobisher!

Thanks for the poll! It has helped me to clarify what metal I really like. Turns out I like some of the old stuff more than I thought I would!

Good news folks seandalai can do the tabulating for the poll so later tonight i'll set up a nominations thread that will last about a month so plenty of time for everything to be nominated. and time for people to start listening to the albums in prep for voting(which I'll allow a month for too)

but first we must all discuss this EXTREMEly great poll and post our ballots after frobisher posts the FULL RESULTS

Thanks everyone for participating and hanging in there! I hope you all had fun, and found some new albums to listen to... that's the whole point, imo.
Thanks for the co-running CS, and thanks to Seandalai for the tabulation.

Huh, Filosofem is sounding good now. That's annoying.

a total of 559 albums got votes, the big list will be posted soon.

i would love to nominate stuff that nobody would ever vote for in a 2000-2015 poll. just for fun. like Virus West. cuz i listen to that album a lot. lack of Nagelfar in THIS poll shameful.

eh, i didnt co-run. i just posted a few times because the emperor penguin was ill

scott i can promise you there is a virus album i'll be voting for!

i do wish you and others would nominate and make lists though. yours and others knowledge is invaluable and would make for a great even poll imo.

This has been amazing - thank you so much Frobisher and CS! My metal knowledge is hugely lacking in parts, so it's been pretty revelatory.

should I start a new thread for that? where people can post their ballots?

lack of Nagelfar in THIS poll shameful.
Nagelfar or Naglfar?

both!

new thread so its easy to find the results in the first post in the future

this was a lot of fun and introduced me to records I hadn't heard! which is why polls exist I guess

imago liking some mid period metal after all is good. now we just need to get him to listen to 70s metal

Fantastic poll and can't argue with the number one.

What's the name of that game where you have to say the most glaringly canonical thing you've not read/seen/heard etc? Anyway, I've never knowingly listened to Ulver.

anthony jr. for the win.

Oh, whoops. I thought I was on the other thread.

I made a spotify playlist for this
https://play.spotify.com/user/moans%2Bfeedback/playlist/3jlg6QIvRHREob3SmdnH4F

(for readability reasons only one track added for each, you can easily click on the album's name to go and hear it in full)

great job, although maybe add the title track instead of the acoustic intro for Nokturnal Mortum.

It's not really intended as an actual playlist to listen to, more as an easy list to pick an album and hear it in one click. So the songs don't really matter. That being said I've just changed that particular song just in case people do use this as an playlist

(also just found out that, unlike the Web interface, Spotify's actual application won't show you the album from which the track has been taken, so maybe my idea was stupid to begin with. You can still click the "..." thing for the track and select Show Album though)
