However I hope people will start listening to nominated albums now rather than wait for voting period OR after big poll results. (That means you especially Imago since you like to listen to everything before voting)

oh yeah the Stabscotch, whether metal or not, is certainly up there
― imago, Thursday, 7 December 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link
I understand if you want Uncanny Valley off the list. No hard feelings if it doesn't make the spreadsheet. To me its about as heavy as any Cleric, Deafheaven or Mt. Erie albums that have made it in the past. Certainly weaves through a lot of genre's but it's pretty extreme. But yeah, I guess noise/experimental/avant would be the primary genres.

Will probably be voting for NM even if their frontman's disavowal of terrible beliefs was transparently disingenuous - it was a good album. I wish I knew nothing else about the band than their music

So is Eastern European exoticism part of Nokturnal Mortum's appeal? To be fair, I've only heard their first two records but they reminded me of post-1989 village wedding bands hellbent on showcasing their portable Yamaha keyboard at every gig.
