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

got it, thanks! 36 ballots in now

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 - Ulsect
https://ulsect.bandcamp.com/

voted !

I ended up voting for only one of the albums I belatedly nominated today to simplify matters.

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

Is voting a little after the deadline ok?

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.

Just sampled those two. Makes me wish I'd had more time…

well the deadline is US time. so you have what 8 hours or something

Oh! OK!

so im sure you dont need to vote *after* the deadline.

technically you have until seandalai closes the voting form

But 8am UK time is certainly the earliest it will close. Cant guarantee anything after though

Who all intends on voting? Best to let us know here so seandalai can check before closing the voting form

Voting momentarily! Just cross-referencing my list with imago's, just in case I forgot Jute Gyte or something

Voted!

And voted!

Lingua Ignota were the big beneficiaries of my last-minute listening. Incredible

Voted!

ahaha this Summoning album is just dungeon synth done with a budget.

farted, then voted

seandalai isnt around yet so voting form is still open if anyone wants to vote

We just going to do a top 77 this year? 100?

feel like some of the albums I voted on here that I loved, I haven't listened to in months. too much new stuff. had to dig back into the recesses.

I think the Wolves in the Throne Room is the one I played the most. second was the latest Suffocation.

Top 500 this year iirc

Don't know until we see results. Should have them tonight so may post a few tonight as tradition dictates.

I think we normally do a 101?

btw I have no idea what will win, or even make up the top 10. There's no front runners this year that I can tell from the metal thread or metal mags EOY lists

I do hope we get lots more participation on results thread than last year. I love reading what people think, even if they haven't voted.

damn there's a couple of things that I forgot to vote for. next time I won't rush.

i think you can still resubmit as seandalai hasnt closed the voting form

meh, it's ok. it is what it is.

what are the things you forgot

Rollout wont be starting tonight

I do hope we get lots more participation on results thread than last year. I love reading what people think, even if they haven't voted.

i couldn't vote in good conscience. just way too much that i haven't kept up with. but i'll be listening as things roll out and will definitely try to post interesting things that come into my mind about the records.

"interesting" probably a stretch but

you really shouldnt let that put you off voting

Its ok we don't do poser-shaming for new voters

I haz poll results

How many ballots did you get in the end?

40

On a par with last year then, not too bad. I know he got ribbed for it but thanks to Odysseus for campaigning for the poll itself so vehemently

At least 5 people said they voted after you said 36 but you only have 40?

A couple of people voted twice.

ahhh

one man, one two votes

Siegbran's here. You can start! :D
