~~~ ILM METAL POLL 2013 - ALBUMS & TRACKS VOTING & CAMPAIGN THREAD~~~ (VOTING ENDS FRIDAY JANUARY 10th 11.59pm UK time/6.59pm EST) )

did you just post your ballot on the thread?

thanks I'll try get seandalai's attention!
xp

and everyone can vote for them from now on obviously!

and if anyone wishes to resubmit a tracks ballot then they can. We will accept the last ballot from everyone so dont worry if you have voted before.
Also anyone who voted for albums and not tracks can still send in a tracks ballot.

maybe you should extend the deadline a few days? That might help to bring some more ballots in.

also, some awesome shoegazy/atmospheric black metal:

Paysage d'Hiver - Das Tor

They're also on spotify but the physical release of Das Tor was "Strictly limited to 300 hand numbered cassettes." So you know it's fvking trv cvlt.

even though I heard that apparently atmospheric black metal is "over."

cant extend it due to the big poll timeframe

Usnea is spelled wrong in the voting at top.

cheers. Seandalai might want the typos to be uniform then he will change it for the results as I think it works out easier for him that way.

spreadsheet updated with tracks. Thanks seandalai!

I re-voted.

You shouldn't make t so you have to vote for tracks or albums if you don't want. My tracks aren't tracks but a comment broken into lines so I could submit it.

I don't understand? You can vote for albums but not tracks if you want and vice versa.

Unless seandalai changed it?

I didn't vote for tracks.. too much for me.

It said I had to put something in the tracks field in order to submit.

I had tracks the first time but I changed my mind. When I resubmitted it says both fields are required.

Maybe you're not getting the ballots in cuz of the Google password needed to see the spread sheet.. Maybe its turned some folks off. idk. I could gives a fuck about a spreadsheet. I went analog and wrote my shit down with a pen and paper first.. lol! remember those?!?

I didn't need to put anything in the tracks box.. I voted really early though

Maybe you're not getting the ballots in cuz of the Google password needed to see the spread sheet..

You shouldn't need to sign in to see the nominations spreadsheet, if that's what you mean?

I've changed the form so you can leave the tracks bit blank - I had misunderstood the intention here, sorry.

I think more people should be talking about the Obliteration album, "Black Death Horizon".

I voted! For the first time evah!

Cheers Dl! we're up to 15 ballots now.. Thank you!

Chucked my virgin ballot into the volcano.

Death Angel is listed as Dark Angel, btw. Being much more a fan of the latter than the former, I went into a momentary google tizzy.

Also, it didn't make my top ten, but if anyone has been displeased with Satyricon since Volcano and wishes to find a suitable taker upper of that sound, Sonic Reign's Monument in Black is a stormer. So good are they that I excuse the borderline plagiarism of that other band's "Fuel for Hatred" and "Possessed" in this tune:

Wolf People - Fain
Psych/prog and proto-metal influences rooted in obscure Finnish psych, Mighty Baby, Dark, Groundhogs and The Trees. Along similar lines are fellow UK band Hidden Masters, who I've been obsessed with the past couple weeks but I didn't nominate them because they're not as heavy.

Sorry, at first I embedded because I didn't realize there was supposed to be a separate thread for that. But now with so few days left until the end, and the relative inactivity of this thread, it didn't seem to matter anymore.

well just under 72 hours left to vote and we only have 19 album ballots and 12 tracks ballots so please vote and tell your friends to vote and lurkers remember you can vote. If you dont have an ilxname just put your email in so we can see if youre real.
VOTING ENDS THIS FRIDAY - JANUARY 10th 11.59pm UK time/6.59pm EST

thanks guys!

VOTING ENDS THIS FRIDAY - JANUARY 10th 11.59pm UK time/6.59pm EST

Huh? On the top of the voting thread it sez:

Voting ends at MIDNIGHT EST on Friday, January 17th, 2014.

that's for the ILM poll, not the metal poll

Dur.

OK, I think that's a sign that I need to call it a day and head home. Soz. :/

Argus - Beyond The Martyrs
http://cruzdelsurmusic.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-the-martyrs
http://youtu.be/KJHCwRYBFrY

Hailing from the fertile metallic landscapes of Pennsylvania, Argus is releasing their third and best album on the Italian metal label that was founded in 2003, and was once the home of Slough Feg and other like minded bands. Unlike Argus’ first two consistently strong albums, doom is less of a factor on Beyond The Martyrs, emphasizing their twin guitar interplay, and mixing in the epic with the darkness. The band were named from a vision Eric Johnson had of Argus Panoptes, the mythological primordial giant with a hundred eyes. Several bands have taken up that name, but this is the one most worthy of it.

reason why the Cosmic Dead isn't in the nom list?

forgetfulness. Drugs if you cared you could have nominated it ya know.

God placement is so hard, I'm really struggling on my ballot.

OK I finally got my ballots in! a full 50 for the albums and a top 10 for tracks! weeeee!

I am voting but all this does is make me feel bad for all the albums I didn't hear this year.

or on the bright side all the albums you can still check out!

I assume just put it in order from top to bottom then?

Well, that's how I did it.

You did it right (except I'm surprised Attila was your #1)

I was worried our longtime lurker voter Cronos Smith was not going to vote this year but I was pleasantly surprised to see he has overnight.
