Was Petrychor not nominated at all? I would have totally voted for them.

I'll start about lunchtime I suppose but anyone got any hopes for the top 20?
I hope the top 20 is not just Yob's 8th album and Darkspace's 12th album and Jute Gyte's 25th album.

lunchtime where, Cosmic Slop? need to do some time zone math...
― alpine static, Friday, 16 September 2016 06:51 (seven years ago) link
90% of my ballot has already placed, and only one more actually will. I have no idea what's going to be in this top 20! Looking forward to hearing ILM's favourite metal.

Top 20 predictions? what hasn't popped yet that definitely will?

Dopesmoker, Dopethrone, other albums with "Dope" in the title
― Neil S, Friday, 16 September 2016 08:46 (seven years ago) link
I'd like to think Keldian's Outbound would make it but a) ilx hates celestial equine supernova power metal, and b) more importantly, I fucking forgot to put it on my ballot

yay for botanist!love that record, think i was the number one voter
― nxd, Friday, 16 September 2016 09:30 (seven years ago) link
Aw, that's a good number one. I love that album too.
Listening to Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde again and the track 'Ciel Errant' is actually the Dashboard Confessional song 'Vindicated'.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 16 September 2016 09:54 (seven years ago) link
Don't think there's much left from my ballot that could place apart from Agalloch, Isis and maaaaybe the s/t Jesu album. Boris' Feedbacker could make it I guess.
I imagine Celtic Frost - Monotheist and maybe the other Triptykon will show up, Tom G Warrior always does well in these things.
Oh, I forgot Monoliths and Dimensions! That's got to place, surely.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 16 September 2016 09:59 (seven years ago) link
No idea what #1 will be, kind of hope it won't be Dopethrone, am not the biggest EW fan and it'd be nice if is was something less retro.

― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 16 September 2016 10:01 (seven years ago) link
imagine there's another uncle acid album to place too
― nxd, Friday, 16 September 2016 10:02 (seven years ago) link
Tom G Warrior always does well in these things.
As well he should.
― Cosmic Slop, Friday, 16 September 2016 10:10 (seven years ago) link
I would think as far as Sunn goes that M&D is certain, and Kannon, Altar (with Boris) and White 2 might get a look in? Though my feeling is these latter three are all considered relatively minor?
― Neil S, Friday, 16 September 2016 10:19 (seven years ago) link
He's someone I can appreciate but it's not really my kind of metal (xpost).
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 16 September 2016 10:20 (seven years ago) link
I had better see some Anata in the results. I just realized they haven't shown up. But tech death, even if it doesn't sound like the usual tech death, may not do well here.
― Devilock, Friday, 16 September 2016 10:53 (seven years ago) link
I'm listening to the Voice Of Steel title track again. Holy shit, this is (ignoring JG a second here) a metal-song-of-decade contender

I'm partial to "Valkyrie," mainly for that guitar solo.
If you like that triumphant eastern euro pagan black metal I'm sure Siegbran can help; I'm not too keyed into the scene. I've heard of bands like Kroda and Temnozor but never actually listened to them.
Horn from Germany is amazing, though, but the production is a little ... fizzy.
― Devilock, Friday, 16 September 2016 12:56 (seven years ago) link
oh for god's sake, I forgot to put Myrkgrav on my ballot too. One of the best albums of the 15 years for sure.https://youtu.be/k4n5dR2KM68
― Devilock, Friday, 16 September 2016 13:01 (seven years ago) link
Was just about to say that Valkyrie is just as good
― imago, Friday, 16 September 2016 13:01 (seven years ago) link
I can't remember who it was, but in the other thread someone said they really liked Vintersorg's Visions from the Spiral Generator, and I would highly recommend checking out that Myrkgrav -- or to anyone who likes high quality choral vocals and synths in jiggy pagan folk black metal.

well there's the one that knocked Monotheist off its perch for best comeback albums, it's like Luc Lemay just invented a new musical language

I kinda apply that to Mayhem's Ordo ad Chao too, which is why those two albums are far ahead of anything else in my top 10

I haven't listened to this one in years. Would probably keep "Reflection" and "Schism". Coloured Sands is really good, though.

Voted for both Sunn 0))) and Gorguts, so top 20 is most action I've seen this poll!
Monoliths was the only Sunn 0))) I voted for, and really, the only Sunn 0))) I ever want to hear. Overrated or not, it's easily the most distinctive and interesting for me, and am surprised they didn't continue in this style. More to do there IMO.
