I just got the Deiphago album I ordered from the States. I haven't listened to loads of metal this year, so I fidn voting in a poll like this a bit difficult... Can I vote for just one/two things pls?
― besides Sunny Real Estate (dog latin), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
1 album minimum, so go ahead.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:52 (eleven years ago) link
I plan on voting, but maybe just for 10 albums, which are the 10 I listened to and liked, not like TOP TEN OF A ZILLION or w/eNot even sure if I have 10? Either way, the ones I liked I liked a lot.

I will add albums from http://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/9021-the-top-40-metal-albums-of-2012/ that are not already nominated.
Anyone have full lists for Revolver or Terrorizer? Any other metal publications? Does Hit Parader still exist? Was there a Spin metal list?
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 18:39 (eleven years ago) link
Here's my favourites of the metal and metal-ish stuff I've reviewed or heard this year (that aren't already nominated). I'm probably missing something but anyway:

There was a spin list, actually. I am out so I don't have the link at hand, but should be fairly easy to find.
Also, sorry for being kind of a prat on this thread.

I've found out deftones won Revolver Album of 2012 but not seen the list of top 20 albums. Can someone try and post list here before friday night?
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
This is highly unorthodox but Algerian Goalie msged me and while he is apparently on an ILM posting quarantine he wants to nominate some albums. If nomination-by-proxy is allowed, his list is as follows:
Drudkh - Eternal Turn of the WheelBehold... the Arctopus - Horrorscension Colour Haze - She SaidMy Sleeping Karma - SomaDawnbringer - Into The Lair Of The Sun GodCauldron - Tomorrow's Lost Furze - Psych Minus Space Control OM - Adviatic SongsRaventale - Transcendence
I suppose if you think this is me trying to sneak in more nominations of my own (although AFAIK I have 5 left), some third party can back me up... AG if you're lurking plz let someone else know so they can confirm.
Thanks!

Tell him that's fine and he has more nominations left if he wants to add them and I am glad he is participating.

Thank you I will add most of it that's not already nominated but which of these aren't metal/heavy rock/alt-metal and shouldn't be in the nominations list? Amanda Palmer obviously. How Scott Walker? unlikely to have guitar riffs I'd imagine. Mono and Gybe are as guitar heavy as anything on Kerrang list so that's fine especially as no-one has to vote for them if they feel it shouldn't count.
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:31 (eleven years ago) link
Remember this is a non-elitist poll compared to previous polls. Lets be more open-minded and unafraid of less hip more mainstream albums.
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:34 (eleven years ago) link
What about pop-punk? Green Day and other bands like them were on the Kerrang! list and made it into the nominations spreadsheet... where do we stand on that?
― Frobisher the (Viceroy), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:53 (eleven years ago) link
Liars, black bananas and hexvessel aren't metal. The new mono is basically a neoclassical CD, although I don't really care if you include it or not. It's not so much a matter of being elitist or mainstream, more a matter of having things on the list that just don't fit the genre.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:56 (eleven years ago) link
And it isn't a matter of serious voters voting for those albums, and more that if there are things that trolls can vote for to screw up the poll, they will vote for them.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Thursday, 20 December 2012 01:01 (eleven years ago) link
That's why I didn't nominate Goatpenis this year.
― Siegbran, Thursday, 20 December 2012 08:20 (eleven years ago) link
I got the Deiphago album through the post finally. Came as a rather splendid picture disc with brilliant artwork, an iron-on patch and a CD. Music sounds like someone yelling "SATAAAAAAAAAN" while throwing cutlery down the stairs.
― besides Sunny Real Estate (dog latin), Thursday, 20 December 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link
Looking at previous polls now and they got between 80-90 ballots ,with the relaxation of rules this time I anticipate getting nearer 100. That would mean, along with shortening the roll-out from 125 ,trolls would be wasting their time plus trolls have never been a problem in any ILM 'email' Poll before. Any obvious troll ballots could be easily discounted as on the voting form they have to provide their ilx name.
― ILM METAL POLL 2012 (New Management), Thursday, 20 December 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
I still think we should consider removing Green Day.

Shall we open up extra nominations now? Please don't add hundreds of albums from Rate Your Metal just for the sake of it and instead add albums that have not been mentioned that you would vote for or think are important albums that shouldn't be left out.

Here is the full nominations list. Will add lists from Revolver/Terrorizer once they come in unless there is objections.
Thank-you to everyone who nominated. You made things really easy.
