Quite like that Sunpocrisy, even though it's a bit shiny by my usual standards. And they really need to work on naming things, the band name and title are both pretty awful.
I thought I was pretty much done with post-metal actually, but I've heard a small handful of things this year that convinces me the genre still has legs. Just about.

I love Maladie's albums but the production, esp on the new one, makes my ears bleed. I like how they combine as many languages as they do metal subgenres, though.

It has to be done before the main poll and when you run it the week before the main poll it gets overshadowed by the other poll and people cant be arsed voting in both esp when voting is open for both at the same time.
If someone else wants to run it then they can choose when it runs. But everytime i ask there's no takers
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 11:32 (eight years ago) link
oh and another of the reasons we moved the poll to December is because everyone was burnt out making lists by january and we got a terrible turn out.
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:08 (eight years ago) link
Anyway what do you all want as the maximum ballot size this year?202550?

I'd be fine with 50 even if I don't reach that number.

yeah its not compulsory to do the maximum, if you only want to vote for 5 albums you can regardless of the maximum

https://theexplodingeyesorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/iExploding Eyes Orchestra is five members of Jess and the Ancient ones, songs written by guitarist Thomas Corpse. He wrote so many that II will be set to come out in a few months probably. A nice compendium to JATAO album.

That hasnt actually happened before . Albums dont usually come out that late.
I dont want to postpone the poll until january as guys like phil have said they feel burnt out by then and dont vote and that is why i changed the dates a year or 2 ago to accommodate them.
Plus the big EOY poll overshadows it and this way it fives people a few weeks to check out and discuss the poll results.
If guys like phil say they will still vote then id be open to changing it as long as thats ok with seandalai
