EXTREME METAL Albums Poll - Nominations Round

bit early for 2015 albums just out a week to be called a classic surely?

I don't see the word "classic" anywhere in the OP.

That Stara Rzeka album is great. Not sure how metal it is but I'll probably have to vote for it.

Yeah, Frobisher is free to DQ that, or anything. If it had BM or DM vocals anywhere on it, I thought it was fair to throw out there.

i just mean that ppl prob wont vote for it

I was nominating albums that I might consider voting for, not predicting how other people will vote.

Carcass - Surgical Steel
Tribulation - The Formulas of Death
Tribulation - The Children of the Night
Obsequiae - Aria of Vernal Tombs

Hail Spirit Noir - Oi Magoi
Howls of Ebb - Vigils of the 3rd Eye
Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Meh, 2015 albums are fine! Especially if you think they're really good and will stand the test of time. Sorry I haven't been around much, I have been preoccupied with things at home! I will leave nominations open throughout tonight and finish this thread up tomorrow morning, or whenever I wake up. Sound good? So, last call, everyone! Get em' in now if you have noms left!

a couple more...

Assück - Anticapital
Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium
Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence
Indian - From All Purity
Kriegsmaschine - Enemy Of Man
Mgla - Exercises in Futility
Skepticism - Aes

This doesn't sound like a real subgenre at all.

I've been weighing this one up - if it is metal, it's certainly extreme, as it's done with synths and vocoder, but fuck it

O.L.D. - Formula

Having added that I'd be compelled to add Ulver - Blood Inside, another of my favourite extreme albums but unclear of status. Frobisher, clear this up!

That Stara Rzeka album is great. Not sure how metal it is but I'll probably have to vote for it.

Same here.

Bathory - Hammerheart
Master - On the Seventh Day God Created ... Master
Massacre - From Beyond
Nailbomb - Point Blank
Deceased - As the Weird Travel On
Toxic Holocaust - Chemistry of Consciousness
The Haunted - s/t

silentist - s/t
silentist - nightingales
silentist - chariot swing
silentist - house on the hill

Ancient - Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends
Nunslaughter - Angelic Dread
Brujeria - Matando Güeros
Mortician - Chainsaw Dismemberment
Bongzilla - Gateway
Various Artists - Gummo OST

OK thank you bill. The noms are a wrap, thank you everyone! Not sure when to begin the voting thread, perhaps tonight? Does anyone care?

oh I think plenty care since plenty nominated!

How long are you setting the voting period for?

25 minutes

Dang, forgot to nominate the Kvelertak debut. Oh well...

So is there going to be voting for this poll?

Amazing user name^

Thanks, I'm new here.

not sure all my noms are on the list yet?

The Somberlain, for one, is conspicuously absent.

DIEBOLD

The poll was a ruse, Frobisher just wanted a laugh at our horrible tastes

frobisher took the poll money and went to rio

lol, sorry guys this has been a particularly busy week for me... also I'm not sure I know how to tabulate results! I'll try to get the voting thread up this weekend and have a google form thing set up to e-mail your ballots. I'll probably have a 50-album ballot max, 5 min, open for two weeks. Hold in there, I promise this isn't the comic strip poll all over again!

motherfuckit I am listening to At the Gates' The Red Sky Is Ours, and realizing that yeah this is definitely classic. Too late to nom?

Also: Slaughter - Strappado!

Demilich - Nespithe
Demigod - Slumber Of Sullen Eyes

I am way more familiar with the first one (which I love and will vote for whenever this poll happens), but listening to the excellent second one today, and love it. So thick, almost doomy, and a rare example of understated (yet outstanding) drumming in a death metal record. Great riffs, great mood, great production.

Ok guys this time I swear I'm getting off my ass and starting the voting thread, ok!

Ok, It's finally up - your chance to vote!
