AMG says:Experimental rockers from Texas, influenced by wall-of-sound styles like drone, post-rock, and shoegaze.

Exhumed are the perfect example of the band I will happily see live any time, but will never pull out one of their albums at home.

Love Hey Colossus.English Flesh is an amazing track with a great video to boot

True Widow, on the other hand, are great on record but SUPER boring live (especially if they go on after midnight).
― J3ff T., Monday, 13 January 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link
J3ff on the money re: True Widow. Hate to knock my friends, but the live show is a snore at best.

Yes big thanks to Kim from me too, and I think it got an early mention on the rolling grind thread so thanks to that person too, Moksha came in really late and snuck really high up my list.
Also my contribution to the impromptu Cloud Rat awareness campaign, it was hard to find but the band themselves put the album up for free digital download via link on their site:
http://cloudrat.blogspot.com/p/discography-lyrics.html
scroll down to the Moksha section at the bottom and there's a mediafire link.

this is the second year in a row death metal has made a comeback on ilm. Influx of new American posters or a genuine rise in quality the past few years?

^ now that's a fucking album cover
Didn't vote for much, but I did vote for Batillus (love the control and restraint in their aggression, kinda reminds me of the Swans) and Hey Colossus (some heavy Can vibes on that thing eh?). Have been a bit wary of that Raspberry Bulbs record cos just about everything else I've heard on Blackest Ever Black has been a no contest triumph of style over substance, but I guess this is my cue to give it a whizz.

i don't think i've heard that purson album before the poll but it's fantastic
― Mordy , Tuesday, 14 January 2014 00:46 (ten years ago) link
Pretty sure Hey Colossus is the only one I voted for so far. Had the pleasure to see Purson support uncle acid at their first official show and to be honest they blew the main act out the water I'm sad to say.
― An embarrassing doorman and garbage man (dog latin), Tuesday, 14 January 2014 01:26 (ten years ago) link
Wish I saw that. Not sure why Uncle Acid supported Sabbath in Europe but not the U.S. More of these bands need to cross the Atlantic dangit.

What do you guys prefer finishing on Thursday or finishing on Friday?
It's nicely set up for either. It can be 15/15/15/15 or 20/20/10/10 or 20/20/20 to finish thurs.Im not bothered either way - whatever suits the majority of those who can be arsed to reply.
Hope everyone is enjoying the poll and making new discoveries.
All thoughts on already placed tracks/albums are welcome.

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 14 January 2014 10:26 (ten years ago) link
If we decide to finish by thursday I will need to start earlier each day at around 2pm so we're not rushing it and finishing after people have gone home. That's not so bad when countdown just starts but we cant rush the top half.
