I liked the Usnea album prior, I'm sure I'd love this one

the dreadnought record also features sax so it's possible i'm being catered to

The Dreadnought record really impressed me as well, was expecting a floaty soft nautical prog thing but then it bares its jaws

Lots of good stuff already! I wasnt very impressed with CC and Obituary this year, even though I love OSDM...anyway, glad at least two people like Colotyphus too, it’s nothing revolutionary but the songs are awesome & I always dig death metal vocals over black metal songs, way more bands should do it.
Progenie Terrestre Pura was a bit of a letdown after the debt, I gotta say.

ooh what is this
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 5 February 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
dreadnought still kicking my ass btw, i usually don't go for songs this long but they're packed with ideas
The Wode record rules hard - probably my fave black metal release last year.
― BlackIronPrison, Monday, 5 February 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
also there's some good flutin' on the second track of the dreadnought
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 5 February 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link
Also - why do we have Pop Punk records and 2016 records shutting out, probably better 2017 metal records in the poll - it blows.
― BlackIronPrison, Monday, 5 February 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link
Ooh yeah Wode, I forgot to vote for that one, it’s really good!
― Siegbran, Monday, 5 February 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link
BIP I count 1 (one) of each of those things you're complaining out of 25 records so far (and I haven't seen the full results but I don't anticipate any more of either out of the 100 slots) so maybe relax

idk, the nominations thread included the phrase "heavy rock" which adds p huge margins to the poll
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 5 February 2018 19:26 (six years ago) link
Yeah! This made it onto my ballot. It brings a heavy wizardry and some twisty tunefulness and is never boring.

I still can't process how much more metal you listened to than me
― imago, Monday, 5 February 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
also the creeper record seems appropriate here to me, tbh? in ambition and mood it feels, at the very least, metal adjacent, even though what happens within that mood is gothy pop-punk. which is essentially why i voted for it and didn't vote for other similar records on the list
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 5 February 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
Man you’re going to be bummed out when Paramore turns out to have won.

Just imagine a Napalm Death version of Hard Times if things get too much, BIP. It's easier than you'd think
― imago, Monday, 5 February 2018 19:31 (six years ago) link
can't believe i found two records i'm gonna love forever in the results already, satan bless the metal poll
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 5 February 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link
I agree that Creeper are definitely metal adjacent. It's hardly on the sunny end of pop punk.
xp haha it's because I didn't listen to a certain album on repeat

Never heard of this, but it looks very baroque and I hope that proves to be correct.

Grails are kind of Indian mysticism drone-doom iirc
probably the falsest album that's gonna place. gothy dinner party music. (I like them v much)

Beginning of Dreadnought third track is like some French jazz-pop lol. Can tell things are about to get hea. vy. though

This is a vibe I can very much favour. I would like to host a dinner party and play this. Everyone's invited! It's tonight.

Q1: Is Grails really post-rockQ2: Do we not have a post-rock thread (any more) on ilm?
A two-track, sixteen-minute EP on which one of the tracks is kind of dull. But the second track is just so fucking triumphant, I couldn't not vote for it. It's pretty much heavy psych-rock at this point, but some of the coolest and most badass rock music in the world
― imago, Monday, 5 February 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
Wode was one I discovered from the nominations list, nice to see it here.

love how all the guitars get subtracted from the last track on the dreadnought record for a piano solo
