Did anybody give the Solstafir album a listen? Their third masterpiece in a row. Siegbran loved it iirc
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 00:23 (six years ago) link
lj and tt i hope you give it a try
tbh I think Solstafir is something that could crossover on ilx
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link

I'm enjoying the organs in Solstafir, but I wish there was more of them!

Favourite finds of the morning:
Big Brave - Surprised I didn't hear about this sooner, so thanks to whoever brought it up itt! Love the vocals and their delicacy as set against this slow grind Slagmaur - Victorian ghost story covered in mossPillorian - Heavy and melodic enough. I like how it changes it up every 30 seconds or so and still manages to sound evenly pacedSundays & Cybele - You had me at 'paisley'. A smoke-filled fabrics den on a sunny Sunday afternoon

Shit I think I forgot to vote for Slagmaur.
― Siegbran, Saturday, 3 February 2018 12:27 (six years ago) link
A few more quick albums on the last day of voting
Korto, this year's Comet Control though it's definitely harder candy. See also: power-pop Astronoidhttps://korto-yo.bandcamp.com/album/korto-s-t
Plastic Crimewave, spacy Stooges-style garage rock with the chaos element quite prominent https://cful.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-crimewave-syndicate-thunderbolt-of-flaming-wisdom
10000 Russos, kind of like a more postpunk/kraut-y Moon Duo but with plenty of oppressive sludginesshttps://fuzzclub.bandcamp.com/album/distress-distress
Moths & Locusts: this album has a lot more ideas than your average stoner releasehttps://mothsandlocusts.bandcamp.com/album/intro-outro
― the man from P.O.R.L.O.C.K. (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 3 February 2018 12:28 (six years ago) link

― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 3 February 2018 12:43 (six years ago) link
10000, even
― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 3 February 2018 12:44 (six years ago) link

It's is a 3-wheeled race car that combines the past to future, advocates free public transportation and doesn't order dessert at a restaurant.
Haha this Korto is lovely! How do you find this stuff DAM?

Posting mine now, unweighted. There's a bunch of these I haven't heard yet but I'm sure I have in a folder full of promos. My bad.

(Also some of my picks I'd barely count as metal, like Oxbow and White Suns, but they were in the nominations so on my list they went.)
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Saturday, 3 February 2018 16:34 (six years ago) link

I resubmitted since I forgot two albums. Please discard the first ballot (with 12 albums) and accept the second (with 14). Sorry for the confusion.

grrr - late additions and I'm too busy to re-submit - oh well it stands
― BlackIronPrison, Saturday, 3 February 2018 18:18 (six years ago) link
Oh! The Lingua Ignota is amazing!
― Launch of new ILM school business management programmes! (tangenttangent), Saturday, 3 February 2018 18:25 (six years ago) link
Good, more people should hear it. Strictly speaking not metal of course, but unhinged apoplectic rage rarely sounded this good.
I’m really surprised this wasn’t even nominated in the regular poll.
― Siegbran, Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link
because you forgot and nobody else heard it?
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:43 (six years ago) link
please remember if you vote to post here that you did so we can confirm it
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:49 (six years ago) link
I didnt nominate anything for the main poll, totally forgot. But more surprised that no-one else did.
― Siegbran, Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:49 (six years ago) link
I didn't nominate anything for it either due to my mum being in hospital and being too knackered to do it. So Electric Wizard even went un-nominated.
Only 2 metal albums made the 77 so I think metal poll not running first may have contributed to that?
Chelsea Wolfe only got 3 or 4 votes too so I'm thinking she may not do that well here? I forget if the last one placed.
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:56 (six years ago) link
Abyss was #6 in the metal poll and #26 in the general one
― Dinsdale, Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:22 (six years ago) link
new album too metal for regular poll this year?
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:27 (six years ago) link
Voted.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:31 (six years ago) link
got it, thanks! 36 ballots in now
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:43 (six years ago) link
re: Simon can add to the noms for you if you nominate them here
I'm just about to vote, I have 49 albums lined up .. plus 1 that wasn't previously nominated
Please add the following album:
Ulsect - Ulsecthttps://ulsect.bandcamp.com/
― djmartian, Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:52 (six years ago) link
voted !
I ended up voting for only one of the albums I belatedly nominated today to simplify matters.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
you can still vote for them, but just dont expect them to get more than 1 vote at this late stage. You can be the new gareth saer
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 22:59 (six years ago) link
Is voting a little after the deadline ok?
― imago, Saturday, 3 February 2018 23:16 (six years ago) link
If it's because you haven't heard Der Weg Einer Freiheit's 'Finisterre' or Nortt's 'Endeligt' yet, to name but a few, then yes ofcourse it is.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 3 February 2018 23:23 (six years ago) link
Just sampled those two. Makes me wish I'd had more time…
