Not to be a false-ass pedant, but I thought the Misthyrming and the Dimesland came out in very late 2014?
― Tom Violence, Thursday, 26 November 2015 14:27 (eight years ago) link
Nope, sorry, the Misthyrming came out in February. I think the Dimesland album was December of last year though.

Dimesland came out in very late 2014?
It just came out on CD on Crucial Blast. I guess it was digital-only before that, if that disqualifies it you'll be forcing me to build a time machine and nominate it last year.

so I've got room on my ballot (I assume), has there been any good long form stoner doom this year? I think the only stoner doom album I've heard this year was Clouds Taste Satanic.

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.

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