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

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.

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:

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.

bump

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

jj or another mod reading can you please change thread title to closes today?

bump

you have until i decide to start the voting sometime tomorrow

last call

I've got nothing. Surely there must be a dozen or so OK albums we've collectively forgotten about though, happens every poll.

Swans.

;-)
