ILM Metal/other 'metal' subgenres 2010 POLL NOMINATIONS THREAD CLOSES Saturday 19 December - All are welcome.

Everyone has the right to veto. Nominate all you want that you think fits the parameters. If something doesn't, JJ & I can veto it or you can ask for it to be vetoed too (just like previous polls). Henry has no veto... (ask jj why)

Should an album be left off nominations, you can ask on this or the voting thread if you can include it on your ballot. As long as it meets the parameters , it will be ok.

p.s. Do we allow Swans? (I love swans and think the albums great) But there runs the risk of non metalheads voting swans #1 just because that's the big ILM band they're all familiar with, and i don't want to deal with all the "they're not metal" bullshit in the countdown if they win. The same reason sonic youth etc are never allowed.
But it's up to you guys.

Swans are top 5 for me, if that makes any difference.

Anyway:

Cathedral - The Guessing Game
Murmuure - Murmuure

Swans was never metal. As much as I love the album.

Swans would be allowable if it was 1986, at least to my ear. What they're doing now may well be glorious, but metal it ain't.

Nominate:

Bison B.C. - Dark Ages
Zoroaster - Matador
Sweet Cobra - Mercy
The Sword - Warp Riders
Exodus - Exhibit B: The Human Condition
1349 - Demonoir
Lair of the Minotaur - Evil Power

It does run the risk of the corny indie fuxor vote.
xp

I'm guessing that High Confessions record doesn't count?

was that the album the sonic youth guys made with some others?

as much as I love Swans and like that album, I kinda think I'm inclined to agree with adrien & phil on the veto.

Yeah, with Chris Connelly and Sanford Parker.

Not heard it yet actually so i cant comment on it at all.

Got to veto the Mike Patton - it's Italian pop songs.

Wildildlife - Give It To Live
Various Artists - Metal Swim

Not sure I'll vote for these, but should also nominate:

Danzig - Deth Red Sabaoth
The Ocean - Heliocentric
Ov Hell - The Underworld Regime

no compilations! (sorry nate)

Why?

nominating Death Angel - Relentless Retribution

As much as I love the High Confessions record - it's more industrial/avant garde than metal ...

We've never allowed comps in the metal poll.

As much as I love the High Confessions record - it's more industrial/avant garde than metal ...

Yeah, I agree, which is why I assumed it wouldn't count.

We've never allowed comps in the metal poll.

That is not an explanation. Why? What's the problem - I understand not allowing hits compilations, but why not various artists?

Nachtmystium - Black Mettle Part 2: Addicts

Exodus – Exhibit B: The Human Condition
Tarja Turunen - What Lies Beneath

Maserati - Pyramid of the Sun

Swans would be allowable if it was 1986, at least to my ear.

Hehe, 16 year old me would have been absolutely indignant about Swans being metal.

Slough Feg - Animal Spirits

I already had the slough feg on my spreadsheet jeff hehe. btw every vote for slough feg pisses off bill magill. so please remember that when you vote for them! :)

Maserati - Pyramid of the Sun

I love this album, but this is so not metal.

feel like it would be pretty lame if people nominated a bunch of label samplers or something... what V/A comps did people want to actualy rep for?

we've had Zombi in years past.

Yeah, but just because the dude from Zombi plays on it doesn't make it metal.

I guess with Swans vetoed I cant allow it then.

Celeste - Morte(s) Nee(s)
Conan - Horseback Battle Hammer

Double Negative - Daydreamnation
Furze - Reaper Subconscious Guide
Humanfly - Darker Later
Krieg - The Isolationist

i don't really think swans should be veto'd, it's not metal but it IS heavy and it IS rock -- and the thread says "Metal/Heavy Rock"

they were vetoed

so-- is this also a Heavy Rock poll, or not?

if Swans are not heavy rock, i'm not really sure what is... and if heavy rock isn't included, i'd suggest you get a mod to remove it from the thread title

and if heavy rock isn't included, i'd suggest you get a mod to remove it me from the thread title

― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor),

remember a mod is co running this!

didn't answer my question... heavy rock included, yes/no?

So glad this is off to a trouble-free start!

confusion in the poll title/description doesn't help :/

is it heavy rock? if yes, swans!

not really trying to cause trouble, but what's the point calling it a metal/heavy rock poll if we're gonna veto 2010's heaviest rock record?

on the other hand-- if it's a heavy rock poll and we're vetoing swans because we're afraid some vampire weekend fan might bother to click on the metal poll thread, then submit a ballot with swans at #1, then this is just stupid

Again, I kind of feel myself with ilxor here.

But there runs the risk of non metalheads voting swans #1 just because that's the big ILM band they're all familiar with

exactly the attitude i'm referring to ^^

come on guys

Vote for anything your candy ass thinks is "heavy." I just said they're not metal.

i'd like to veto that nachtmystium album because it was reviewed well on pitchfork and also written about on stereogum and a lot of indie/"hipster" kids read stereogum. no fucking way is some false-metal stereogum reader gonna mess up MY poll results because THEY happen to like nachtmystium!!

okay really though i'm going home, no more time for this

can we resolve this 4real?

I want to agree with you again, you know. Swans played at Supersonic this year and and Roadburn next year. An argument could be made that says they're as metal as it gets.

Do we consider Endless Boogie to be metal?

I don't. I consider them to be awesome, but not metal.

Yeah, I don't really find them very metal, but I wanted to rep for them because the new album is so damned good.

ilxor im pretty sure most of the albums you are complaining about are on the list already, so i dont really see what you are up to.

oh! nice job, i see you have included stone sour now

Listening to this acid witch album, and the vocals are fucking stupid. They do not go with the music at all. And the vox are so far up in the mix to ignore them. Wish there was an instrumental mix of this cuz the musics good.

I want to nominate:

Petrychor - Dryad

It made me get into metal for the first time this year, and I ended up listening to a bunch of old Black Metal. I don't know how it holds up to the Canon of Black Metal or whatever, but I still listen to it at least once a month so it must be pretty good.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AglsYL265OYTdEVFV3NYMHBEQmpKTWdGRkJBclQwbVE&hl=en&authkey=CM26_cUC

We missed anything?

There's bound to be one person says they missed this thread! But if they do, and wish to vote for something not nominated, all they need to do is ask on the voting thread to see if it's suitable and it will likely be allowed.

Has anyone done a Spotify list? I've started on one (mainly stuff I need to listen to), but have made it collaborative- please feel free to add things if you're a Spotify user:
http://open.spotify.com/user/nstewart/playlist/692yV7gzN1wxheAnU12FOa

Nope, viceroy or onimo i think usually does that kinda thing iirc

Neil, I tried to load your playlist but it showed me a list of zero tracks (perhaps it only lists when you're onine?). And also I couldn't add to it! It might just be my wonky spotify that's messed up, but I started a second collaborative playlist anyway just incase anyone else had the same problems I did.

Hopefully everyone can see the albums on it so far and also be able to contribute! Ok, thanks!

― no pop, no style -- all simply (Viceroy),

Listening to the Ghost album. Surely the wimpiest Satanic rock band ever? Having said that, I'm quite enjoying it! Tweak Bird are great- will certainly be listening to that one.

again!

can't wait to vote for stone sour asap

oh you

actually, can't wait for my profound lore order to arrive in a day or two, so i can listen to (& rank) agalloch, ludicra, slough feg & a few others

Still need to check out that Ghost album.

Can I add one more?

Hypnos 69 - Legacy

Add as much as you like if you think it's good enough for people to vote for

I'm not sure many others have heard it, or if their brand of prog-stoner stuff appeals to many people, but I love it and plan to vote for it.

well i know them, its stoner rock, so it counts for sure.

I'll be adding as much as I can onto the spotify playlist, and other spotify users should be able to put albums on as well. Not everything is on spotify, unfortunately, especially some of the bigger releases like the new Enslaved, and that Torche album...

So just beforewarned that not everything you can vote for is on spotify. Hopefully the playlist also only contains things you CAN vote for...

24 hours to go.

Enjoying the Wolf People record, classic psych rock stylings!

More psych goodness: Quest for Fire (thankfully not the Dutch roots reggae band of the same name)

Wolf People are fucking great. Quite a shame they have wolf in their name. They sound nothing like any of those other crappy wolf bands! I love the way the guy sings its classic 60s British folk rock, and then the music is all intense heavy prog-psych with lots of fuzz and distortion and amazing guitar work.

Wolfmangler are terrific

oh no here comes Operation Wolfenstein when everybody mentions other bands that have wolf in their name and aren't terrible...

well if they came out in 2010 get em listed
