Finally... The Top 200 Extreme Metal Albums of ALL TIME!(results)

hope to see you all tomorrow!

awesome

also, too low

deafheaven - sunbather is gonna be top 10 isnt it?

don't ruin this moment please

is every Corrupted album as good as Garten...?

yes

*drools*

oh yes. though each one is different. the eps and 7" singles are different again.

you still haven't picked the best agalloch record yet! time is running out...

Ashes... to win it all

that would be great

but no fucking way

i know, but didnt frobisher say there was stuff in the top 10 with 8 votes? yeah that could mean deafheaven or liturgy could make it or pantera or anthrax, but it could also mean a few cool things do too.

Its quite unpredictable especially since Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss already placed so low.
That was a genuine shock.

I know varg is an evil murdering nazi cunt and i refuse to buy his stuff as i dont want to give him money but the music was made before that and has nothing racist in it and was top 10 in the all-time metal poll a few years back.
His music is popular on ilx even if he isnt see also wagner, pantera and other stuff.

didn't every liturgy album that anyone cares about place already

Im guessing another burzum may turn up soon. Would be lols if it was #50.
Cant beat a controversial placing to start off a top 50

last years hasnt yet, brad

like i said

hah, it has a few high profile fans on ilm

Yeah I didn't remember The Ark Work placing at all in the EOY poll but it turns out it was super high, top 15 or something insane like that.

and things only need 4 or 5 votes atm to make it

That Pleasure To Kill cover never made sense to me. Why would a bunch of skeletons want to kill a horned demon?

The Ark Work wasn't nominated. I know this coz it'd have made my top 20. Consider yourselves spared

ooooh

(not that I have anything against this album)

(but I wouldn't want to see it on this list)

I deliberately avoided nominating anything for reasons of wanting to stay a little on-message

Well, almost anything

Catching up after attending a wake today (metal!), but will chime in to say Pleasure to Kill is great, one of those older records that still sounds rabid.. Weirdest tom production ever tho!

Those German thrash records have held up very well.

better than some u.s. stuff that i won't mention by name out of respect for the families.

I'm starting to realise Blind by Corrosion of Conformity isn't going to place, which is, frankly, an OUTRAGE.

you mean Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica & Megadeth, Scott?

Best discovery of the poll so far has been Krallice - Years Past Matter. How in the fuck had I not heard that before? You've all let me down (until now)

Just reliving Thantifaxath now. The album is a little uneven but my fucking WORD the two songs Gasping In Darkness and Panic Becomes Despair are just…leagues beyond. I think they'll probably make a front-to-back masterpiece soon

I've been hyping Years Past Matter since it was released!

Clearly not enough! Anyway, it worked eventually. You're in my crew now, you know that right

(gf says "shouldn't that be the other way around")

why isnt she commenting here? you dont need to have voted to join in the chat

I am quietly absorbing all the metal.

I'll be more vocal (as a primary character) now that a hell-week has ended. Need to catch up!

Hell-week is never over when there's a metal poll running \m/

hell-week is running a poll

Listening to Summoning. I feel these two Youtube comments neatly summarise them and their fans

'A distant flame before the sun': that song is an authentic piece of art.

the noblest 9 minutes of the album

They're not bad at all though. I feel like A Forest Of Stars owe them a bit

In fact this sounds a bit like riding a horse through space

That Yob EP....if you ever find yourself feeling like the ass end of a donkey, that shit is cathartic.

We should all aspire to have a noblest nine minutes.

And ride a horse through space.

There is no excuse for not listening to Krallice sooner.

In fact this sounds a bit like riding a horse through space

this is a fine description of summoning

imago doesnt already love Summoning?

I've always avoided Summoning and other bands like that because I'm scared I'll black out half way through and wake up LARPing

And I'm afraid that a lot of albums that were released in the last couple of years have placed partially because of me I reckon; I couldn't care less about historical significance really so I voted for the extreme metal albums I enjoy the most.

Can't blame me for Deafheaven though, I hate them for reasons nothing to do with metal elitism, more to do with the fact that they're embarassingly poor
