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

I was the other No.1 for Jute Gyte. This hit me on a level his other albums weren't able to. Maybe it's because its a bit more accessible than the others but every track on Perdurance floors me completely. I'm a sucker for Branca-ish metal and no other avant release this year warped my brain quite like this.

Thank you as always for this poll. So far, Skáphe and Forgotten Spell are blowing me away. Very much appriciate you all putting this together every year.

oh cool there were two other LLNN voters!

Yes, all hail CS and seandalai!

if jeff had voted Babymetal woulda made it

this is prob my favorite metal poll i've ever participated in good work everyone

Lol otm. This poll just keeps getting better and better imo

That was ace, thank you. Not heard the vast majority of this stuff so lots to catch up on. Fwiw I've not subscribed to the playlist cos it's too damn intimidating and YUGE to navigate.

I gotta do more campaigning next year

My ballot.

Vektor - Terminal Redux
Hammers of Misfortune - Dead Revolution
SubRosa - For This We Fought The Battle of Ages
Aluk Todolo - Voix
Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä
Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - Mariner

My favourite discoveries during the rollout have been Entropia, Blood Incantation, and Furia.

I'd forgotten about that Voivod EP until after I voted.

What were the top two sources for the reviews posted here? That Pitchfork was an anomoly because they normally have nothing to offer the metal audience.

tastemaker m8

I just remembered that I actually *saw* Volur open for The Body. Don't mix yr drugs, kids.

haha wow

Spotify Playlist of the 101

I want to go to that gig under those conditions. All the metal gigs we went to this year were cordial gatherings of about 25 people slowly sipping cans of Red Stripe.

I've been listening to Astronoid on repeat all week.

London is not very metal, despite Dawnwalker's best efforts

It was actually not very fun, I just have huge chunks of that night I don't remember. I woke up at work, in my new No One Deserves Happiness shirt. xp

lol

cheers for doing this, loads of stuff on here i need to check out. my top 2 - anagnorisis and graves at sea were nowhere to be seen....

If I read the results correctly, Anagnorisis are the only band to get a #1 vote and no other votes!

That's always a mandatory listen

333 Nonsun - Black Snow Desert 5.0 1 0

I@n W@tkins joins Mansun?

Simon, what was your ballot?

Ohhhh, Anagnorisis were founded by that beer guy

lol I didn't save my ballot, I can only tell you there were 50 albums on it and Vektor was my #1

Austin Lunn from panopticon was in anagnorisis early on

hence

indeed

xps ah okay. I will just imagine it.

Mine had Forgotten Spell, Jute Gyte and 48 others

including megadeth

Pretty sure in the 8th track of the forgotten spell album - Metamorphosis In A Spiritual Spectral Sphere about 4 mins 5 secs in the 'singer' goes for a long guttural roar and you can hear him fart.

Fartgotten Spell

He might've been playing some dubstep in the background.

my ballot, #1 at the top

Armory zipped in right at the end; I'm a sucker for those Jon Oliva styled vox and the whole fear-of-apocalypse/blacklight poster artwork vibe. Plus "Artificial Slavery" is one of the best songs I heard all year.

Must revisit Xoth, plus all the solitary votes.

I'll post my ballot when home in many many hours

Yeah I'll post mine later too

Will listen to the Xoth album based on the title alone.
