The 2017 ILX Metal n' Heavy Rock Poll VOTING + CAMPAIGNING thread! Ballots due Saturday, Feb. 3rd!

Closing track of Couch Slut is best doom of the year, and they're not a doom band

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

love the code orange record, pretty unique sound

if we were doing a tracks poll "Bleeding in the Blur" might top mine

they're so stylistically varied while remaining 100 percent punishing, what a great unique band

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

I added cannibal corpse <3

thank u friend

wow, last year's obituary album really fucking cooks

yo dinsdale, thanks for recommending the anakim record. the production sucks but everything else about it is amazing

like what if progressive death metal..... was super fun?

you're welcome and yeah that's a good way to describe it

sorry i need to reiterate how badass this album is

we have 16 ballots, we need more!

i think my ballot is basically done but i just wanted to mention that the undergang album is nasty af

voted!

17 ballots now! We're on a roll!

Voted!

voting finishes tomorrow!

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?

I feel like I've heard too little to vote.

not at all. you also have around 30 hours to listen to some noms

why not follow the spotify nominations list?

Alright, I'll do what I can.

good good

i miss lj and tt liveblogging their listening

29 hours left, eh?

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.

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!

Voted!

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!

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.

voted!

Something Tom Ewing wrote about the last track of the Mara Balls album

Don't forget to vote in the 10th annual metal poll tomorrow! Even if you send a ballot with only Ex Eye, Blanck Mass and Elder it will still be welcome!

Lol xp

Blanck Mass is not on the noms list?

This is how you lure poor, innocent voters in huh? Disgrace.

lmao

*psst Blanck Mass has already gotten one vote, go ahead and include it*

Ok I've been informed that I'm out of order here.

Will you please add

Blanck Mass - World Eater

to the nominations list

Drugs A and AG lured me into this thread. When I saw how I was greeted

I simply couldn't resist. Voted!

wahey!

we have 26 ballots in! Last year we dropped from 60 to 40, so lets see if we can get to 40 again at least

Is it too late for write-ins?

Yeah I have no idea why that Europe album wasnt nominated either, go ahead.

Simon can add to the noms for you if you nominate them here

last 24 hours to vote!

Did anybody give the Solstafir album a listen? Their third masterpiece in a row. Siegbran loved it iirc

lj and tt i hope you give it a try
