YOU TOTALLY MISSED THE ILX HEAVY ROCK/METAL ALBUM POLL COUNTDOWN, SUCKA (CLICK FOR A RECAP)

I'm looking forward to emil.ys artwork liveblogging hehe

I never cared for metal artwork tbh, call me false..

what about Eddie?

people please do not be put of Grief by the album covers, if you want awesome slooooow doooom then check em out. Total legends.

Yeah its like Suicide Doom, its great stuff!

Eddie works well actually. Whatever happened to Vic Rattlesnake?

its more sludge/doom but man they're great. One of my fave Grief albums didn't even get nominated :(

yeah its very sludgy I think they were on like a thrash/punk label for most of their releases.

I didn't even vote for Grief, they didn't survive the cull in my 250 album shortlist! So really pleased this placed.

Vic Rattlesnakehead is still around, although he's not very menacing anymore.

oops yes a typo there

so would anyone like something a bit faster?

btw I'll go on a bit longer tonight than planned since people seem to be chatting. Will help get through them quicker to be on schedule for the top 150 starting on monday and finishing friday.

"Time to blow my brains out! I'm a total fanatic -- probably controlled by the supernatural but in reality I'm here - I'm here in the physical world!!"

So there shall be a Quickening?! The immortals approve!

Must keep mr fever happy!

and the next one up is a bit of a cult classic..

When I first saw this thread I thought there was a Godspeed You Black Emperor! referrence in the title and I was worried I was going to have to go pee on the ILX server until it caught fire

Way too low of a placing for Rising.

Steve & Juan from Torche. Fabulous band, so glad to see this sludge monster place!

Stargazer is the #1 track but the album it's on is at #240? The rest of it ain't that bad...

Don't know this band or album at all. Sounds like something up my alley.

It's a sludgier version of Torche.

Yeah you know its hard to throw the horns when you're wearing a beret you art-rock losers.

this album is boss, the first track is the ultimate satanic ballad.

Looks like someone is going back to the Target brand dog food thats mostly rat hair and sawdust I guess.

This was almost my #1 btw. I chickened out at the last moment and moved up some all time stuff, but I still kinda regret it.

Haha, I did not know your dog had such anti-SGM sentiments.

He loves to hate, he hates to love

Henry, what do you think of LJ's kind of "art metal for people who are too scared of their cred to like real metal" metal?

I still want to hug his fluffy face. You just can't hate a dog, even with contrary tastes in music.

what do you think of LJ's kind of "art metal for people who are too scared of their cred to like real metal" metal?

the true falsers.

the metal oxymoron.

Aw, how adorable, someone let Grandpa vote in the metal poll.

The cover for Heaven and Hell is great, you gotta admit it.

Angels on a smoke break! Brilliant!

and playing cards

i thought the "too low" outraged brigade would be here.

for Heaven and Hell or Billion Dollar Babies?
