I'm gonna take a bit of a lunch break, be back soon... I have invited Cosmic Slop to post results when I have to go AFK, but I think he's eating dinner now.

you didn't vote?

I think I did, I don't remember tbh.

Hey, this Nocturnus album is quite good, I've been digging a lot of slightly weird 90s dm lately and this hits the spot

xpost

Two bands that have accumulated so much (unfair) derision that their brilliance gets lost. Chaosphere is still one of the most unique things I've ever heard, it just swarms around you like tsetse flies; and Nemesis Divina, somewhat apart from the rest of Satyricon's discography, deserves to be up there with the other Norwegian monuments. Two very different albums that achieved two very different kinds of perfection.

another xpost: weird scifi death metal appears to be the current (and rising) dm trend, so you're in luck!

193. Darkspace - II 150 Points, 4 Votes

xpost: yeah so I've noticed, a lot of Timeghoul/Demilich worship around these days. Also I don't like to "blame" Meshuggah for what endless droves of clean-shaven dudebros with 7 strings are doing now.

Watchtower - Control and Resistance (151 Points, 3 Votes

dunno this one. Thrash?

Crazy prog/tech thrash, sort of where Spiral Architect got some of their sound from. They just put out a 3 song EP at the end of last year. Their debut album had on vox the guy who would go on to Dangerous Toys.

Sacramentum - Far Away From The Sun 154 Points, 2 Votes
http://i.imgur.com/nBD426e.jpg

https://youtu.be/cQXEoGoiQfs

those were 193 and 192 btw

I will never grow tired of Necrolord album covers. Also that one has great music, not as heavy metal inflected as Storm of the Light's Bane but in the same region.

191. Prong - Beg To Differ 154 Points, 5 Votes

hmmm that should have been 190. the SS i got is messed up

At last, the 5 vote threshold, broken.

Kayo Dot - Hubardo (156 Points, 2 Votes)

xp yes two votes by lj
(and his 'girlfriend' )

I expect

how many points was a #1 spot on the ballot? 100?

she just confirmed that she didn't vote

and I didn't like Hubardo, incredible opening track aside

No idea. but iirc it was a maximum of 100 choices so probably.

frobisher told me to post an an album every 10 mins until he tells me to stop. I hope he hasnt disappeared for a few hours/days/weeks

kayo dot beating yob, darkspace , esoteric is a bit of a joke tbh

All of those bands will return.

Somehow I forgot to vote for City. That's just wrong; it's one of the best things ever.

I never could get into Atheist, for some reason. Strange, because I probably love most of the bands that list them as an influence.

I forgot too I think. tho tbh I have no recollection of my ballot as it was so long ago

Oh, whoops. I thought I was on the other thread.

I made a spotify playlist for this
https://play.spotify.com/user/moans%2Bfeedback/playlist/3jlg6QIvRHREob3SmdnH4F

(for readability reasons only one track added for each, you can easily click on the album's name to go and hear it in full)

great job, although maybe add the title track instead of the acoustic intro for Nokturnal Mortum.

It's not really intended as an actual playlist to listen to, more as an easy list to pick an album and hear it in one click. So the songs don't really matter. That being said I've just changed that particular song just in case people do use this as an playlist

(also just found out that, unlike the Web interface, Spotify's actual application won't show you the album from which the track has been taken, so maybe my idea was stupid to begin with. You can still click the "..." thing for the track and select Show Album though)
