2019 Metal ’n’ Heavy Rock Poll: VOTING & CAMPAIGNING thread (open until the 21st of February)

I have a ballot with about 15 albums on it, and a ballot with about 5 albums on it, and I'm deciding between them. Obviously tt's ballot will be like 50 or whatever, she is much more metal than me

vote for multishiva

or don't, if you don't want

imago I recommend the 15-entry ballot, and lll am always ready to give suggestions if you want to fill it put a little more

Submitted a short ballot (15 entires)

Thanks to all those who have voted and to those who plan to vote.

Can anyone recommend any 2019 metal that's good to accompany an insane board game about birds? (imago says: 'not hatebeak')

Not 2019 maybe but Satyricon “Black Crow On A Tombstone” is an anthem.

of course 'bird-grind' is a thing

lol this is kind of wonderful

I voted and highly recommend checking out the Car Bomb record.

We only have 16 ballots.

we need lots of 50 album ballots please!

I'm still listening until tomorrow afternoon then I start placements. I'm at 31 albums now, I imagine I can manage to get a 35 album ballot.

I have my ballot together. Hope to submit it today.

Nice. We need as many people as we can get. KEEP THE METAL POLL ALIVE YOU POXY FULES.

I can do a ballot if you don't mind my lurkery butt stinking up the results w/ knuckledragger DM.

Music to my ears!

Damn, Organectomy didn't get nommed?

It's alright, I just added it.

I wish the old regulars who drifted away from metal would not only come back and vote but post on the threads too.
The early days of the poll were really lively.

I'm here to watch. My metal listening has slowed to a total, er, dribble and I have nothing to contribute.

Haha, that's awesome. Thanks!

A late recommendation but I just discovered it in bouncing around listening to things, Chevelier - Destiny Calls is really good, or at least really interesting. It's I guess ostensibly some kind of nwobhm-revival sort of stuff, but it's very sparse and weird, and has female-fronted vocals that really do sound like some high priestess shouting incantations. I'm having trouble pinning it down, but it's not run of the mill its very strange and wonderful to me. Worth checking out!

tt: "That's one of mine, remind me how it sounds?" <<<irl pvmic

I could reeeeally do with a mixed ballot btw. Next year...

I have submitted my ballot! Been following the results of these since like 2008, but never voted in one before.

Imprecation - Damnatio Ad Bestias has definitely moved up for me these last few weeks - would probably be in top 20/30 now.

Currently going back through all the albums I wishlisted on Bandcamp this year. Yikes, lots to listen to.

Please vote so we can have a good rollout.

the bigger the ballots the better

I feel attacked that these calls for extensive ballots began in earnest immediately after I submitted my um, rigorously curated effort.

I think I should be able to get up to 25.

Voted!

😎

voted!

Last year we only got 33 ballots so lets see if we can smash that. We got over 70 one year I think way back.

I'll be sending mine in a few hours!

OK I voted, got myself to 40 on the ballot!

Listening to Caligula rn...it's something else, though I def see why ILX loves it so much. Speaking for myself, personally, I think this is basically this year's Haino/Sumac: a ferocious forbidding avant album whose raw fury is undeniable but is also a little too *Serious Art* for me to know exactly what to do with

I plan to vote from work tomorrow. I have a mixed ballot so just need to confirm the order.

or just ranked with no care given to the last 20 entries..

That's totally fine, you don't need to overthink it. Much of my bottom 20 is more or less interchangeable.

To whom it may concern:

Don't forget to vote, yo.

yeah yeah

It's-a-comin'
