Red fang is my stoner rock album of the year, but I am not really into stoner rock that much at this point so do with that what you will.

jjj i'll repost this for you as you're on an iphone, but as a geetar shop owner i wondered what you thought of it
I read an article recently where some guy was saying that the reason metal isn't selling at the moment is because most of the 'hip' bands hyped by the metal media 'cant play their instruments'. He went on to say how black metal, doom metal and overrated arty drone bands like Sunn o))) cant play their instruments and that is why they make the 'boring' music they do and how they make for boring experiences at concerts. In stark contrast to the 80s where thrash bands could really play, SING instead of grunt, and put on exciting stage shows. He said that death metal bands could play but ruined it by the vocals, however the likes of Pantera,Sepultura and Machine Head could sell millions as they could play,wrote great songs, were crushing live and didn't try to be elite and kvlt and weren't ashamed to be trying to sell records. If the death metal vocalists had more character like those bands they could lead a renaissance especially if combined with melodic clean vox. He also bemoaned that all the big selling acts were metalcore who all had the same generic grunt vox (he might have a point there at least).Wish i could remember where it was so I could link it but i've tried to sum it up as best as I could. Anyone agree or disagree on the dude's points?btw it was an american writer. I always get the impression technical proficiency meant more in america.Also ,lol, he bemoaned the fact that european metal was influencing american metal and how he hated USBM.

My other thought on peste noire is that they are black metal for people who like nww/current 93.

hmmm I had heard that Red Fang wasn't all that, but maybe I should give them a shot after all...

I had a whole long thing in my head but the short version is that the dude who wrote that article is an idiot.
― blurgh (jjjusten), Monday, 16 January 2012 17:33 (twelve years ago) link
Red Fang was rated highly on some stoner rock lists, but I don't consider them stoner at all. More in common with Baroness, Kylesa and Black Cobra.

I'm off to run downtown and see Hugo with the wife. I'd like to think this poll might actually generate some sales for some of these bands. Can you include the Bandcamp links if they have them? Just a 1 sec Google search.

my browser is awful (it crashes about three times on average when outlouding) so I have never actually clicked on the youtube thread, but I'm going to now
― incredible shrinking man on euphonium (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 16 January 2012 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I repped hard for Murmuure last year as it was by far my favourite album and it ended up pretty high (between 25 and 30, I think?). My campaign for Police Bastard on the all-time tracks poll was not so successful...
― Sugary pee is not normal (aldo), Monday, 16 January 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
every year some people complain an albums missed out or says the SB-worthy "too low" and they haven't campaigned for it while albums that get campaigned for do much better than expected. I said before the poll that it did work as it had in previous polls and this one appears to be no exception.
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
I wonder if my #1 will break top 50; nobody campaigned for it in the youtube thread, but it did make a couple high-profile EoY lists...
still I think today will probably end up being my favorite day.

I guess this means I should have campaigned on this, as it was my #1, but I kind of thought it was more popular as I saw it on other EOY lists.
― Sugary pee is not normal (aldo), Monday, 16 January 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago) link
Acid Witch was my #3, it's a really fun record, suspect you wouldn't like it if you don't do slightly tongue in cheek stuff.

I might check me out some Trap Them; I'm surprised to see them so low too tbh. I thought that album more popular here than how it showed

105. Falkenbach - Tiurida (308 Points, 10 Votes)http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P9IlAKTqmA8/TS7QIL_z71I/AAAAAAAAAO4/lN77PTzNqsM/s1600/61E91IBk3ZL._SS500_.jpghttp://www.last.fm/music/Falkenbach
Falkenbach is a one-man German folk/viking metal project created by Vratyas Vakyas (literally, “The Searching Wanderer”). Vratyas Vakyas lived in Iceland for a considerable time, but now lives in Düsseldorf, Germany again. Throughout the band’s lifetime, Falkenbach has progressed from a rawer, more “black” sound towards viking-influenced folk metal with mainly clean vocals. Vakyas’ music is nowdays accompanied by session musicians.

104. Vektor - Outer Isolation (313 Points, 11 Votes)http://f0.bcbits.com/z/46/12/461267658-1.jpgSpotifyhttp://www.last.fm/music/Vektor
Refusing to be pigeon-holed into any metal sub-genre, Vektor employs an array of intricacy, virtuosity and a wholly unique sound that sets them clearly apart from the growing legions of color-by-numbers thrash bands. They released their debut full length Black Future in November 2009, and the follow up Outer Isolation in December 2011 (both on Heavy Artillery Records).
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Monday, 16 January 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
Throughout the band’s lifetime, Falkenbach has progressed from not at all, sounding *exactly* as they did on their debut fifteen years ago.
Ah nice, most of my top 10 is already done. Surprised about the lack of love for Azarath, while it's not something ILM normally likes, I would think that this was charismatic enough. Basically they do Behemoth, but better than they have done it for at least 10 years, and with way better solos. Same with Septic Flesh...
― Siegbran, Monday, 16 January 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
No, I didn't vote for Falkenbach. Plenty of other folk-metal, and plenty of other German bands, but not this one.

True 9 votes is not bad at all actually. I'm actually more surprised with the low placement of Woods of Desolation, given the whole post-BM hype and all, WITTR, Krallice, Drudkh etc.
