IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU'RE NOT SCREAMING part 5:
Nik Turner - Life in Spacehttps://nikturnermusic.bandcamp.com/album/life-in-space-3
Nobody understands the impulse to write this off more than me; I was all set to play this once and forget. I half-suspect this was the album that made GOTT PUNCH say "fuck it" & nominate Pontiak. Even after the first track, an ok-to-middling ballad, I still figured this was some sort of throwaway anachronism. Then the second track came on, and by the time I made it to the fairly transporting echo-drenched gutar solo, I was won over. Featuring the drummer and guitarist from the old punk band UK Subs

did no one nominate the cannibal corpse album? how did i forget to nominate the cannibal corpse album
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:40 (six years ago) link
are write-ins ok? not that it'll make it in lol
yes but simon can add it to the noms too
since i assume most are still to vote
also anyone can resubmit their ballot as long as they say so on here so we can check
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Thursday, 1 February 2018 16:41 (six years ago) link
anyway, it's v late in the game, but i'd like to particularly rep for
- lunatii's elimino, basically a fake early katatonia record, beautifully, shatteringly depressing, it's all i wanted to listen to last year (https://lunatiiofficial.bandcamp.com/album/elimino-2017)- the new godflesh, it's so cool and good and i can never stop thinking about it, it's like broadrick employing every style he's ever explored at once (https://godflesh1.bandcamp.com/album/post-self)- paradise lost's medusa, obv, feels like after the shift in style in their last record they've really arrived on this one- spectral voice, who are mentioned upthread, and who are one of the rare bands who really get the death/doom balance right, mesmerizing record- ingurgitating oblivion's vision wallows in symphonies of light which iirc was a joan crawford recommendation. it lives up to the title (https://ingurgitatingoblivion1.bandcamp.com/album/vision-wallows-in-symphonies-of-light)- fucking couch slut, my god- king woman! stoner metal packed with hooks!- idk the new cannibal corpse and immolation records fucking rock
yeah i think that's it
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:07 (six years ago) link
Couch Slut and King Woman are both going to be very prominent on my ballot
― the man from P.O.R.L.O.C.K. (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:19 (six years ago) link
Closing track of Couch Slut is best doom of the year, and they're not a doom band
― imago, Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:20 (six years ago) link
I was just listening to King Woman! Will have to re-check-out Couch Slut.

i didn't manage to listen to it until this year but the code orange album is so, so, so brutal
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:38 (six years ago) link
love the code orange record, pretty unique sound
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:40 (six years ago) link
if we were doing a tracks poll "Bleeding in the Blur" might top mine
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:41 (six years ago) link
they're so stylistically varied while remaining 100 percent punishing, what a great unique band
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:45 (six years ago) link
i also forgot to nominate the new blood command but for me it ended up feeling like kind of a step down from funeral beach. the title track was still one of the best things i heard all year
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link
I added cannibal corpse <3
― Simon H., Thursday, 1 February 2018 17:53 (six years ago) link

― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link

― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:33 (six years ago) link
yo dinsdale, thanks for recommending the anakim record. the production sucks but everything else about it is amazing
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link

― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 1 February 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link

― Dinsdale, Thursday, 1 February 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link

we have hit the twenty ballot mark. Last year we got 40 ballots, the year before we had 60 ballots.
Is the Tenth annual Metal poll also the last?
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Friday, 2 February 2018 17:21 (six years ago) link
I feel like I've heard too little to vote.
― pomenitul, Friday, 2 February 2018 17:25 (six years ago) link

Going to compile the first draft of my ballot and then let's see if any of these campaigned-for offerings can creep onto my ballot...

Remembering how much I loved this Hell album. The vocals are insane! And the production really turns the blood.
― Launch of new ILM school business management programmes! (tangenttangent), Friday, 2 February 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link
I'm only voting for stuff I gave 7/10 or more to, which currently numbers at about 17 albums. I'm sure I'll be able to add to that later!

I submitted a ballot but accidentally left off my bottom five, so I resubmitted. Please take the longer ballot and discard the shorter one? Sorry!
― airdnb (Tom Violence), Friday, 2 February 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link
I guess I should chuck a ballot into this thing since I was the lone Rebel Wizard voter in the non-metal poll ... been listening to a bunch of Chinese metal but obv none of that's nominated. What time on Saturday does the poll close? 's 9am where I am. Enjoying the Vespero and King Woman so far, though o_O at the latter's Stone Roses cover.
