Does the new Pharaoh Overlord qualify? It's great but it'd be a stretch

If you need to ask…

More seriously, their other releases would qualify so perhaps this one does by association because we're just that naïvely magnanimous.

Deep down, though, you know it's true (that it's not a metal and/or heavy rock record).

We give a free pass to Ulver every year!

I don't personally approve of that either but I am here to serve the fine people of ILM.

At least the PO has rough vocals, Ulver are just Depeche Mode Unit II now

PO have always been allowed

Nominate away, let God sort them out.

Pharaoh Overlord - 6

this is now a metal, heavy rock and death-disco poll

lol

if it's Aaron Turner and yer granny on bongos, it's metal

LJ is the last person who should be purist about a metal poll considering what he has nominated and voted for in the past

I wasn't being a purist; I was considering the purity of a nomination and then nominating it anyway!

Just you wait; I'll nominate Backxwash if I have to lol

(tbf I think Backxwash is planning on releasing an actual metal project at some point, so watch this space)

Tbf she does sample Sabbath.

I thought about nominating it too! It's on my metal longlist. Many more noms to come btw, I'm still curating.

Same here. I’m still catching up with EOY lists and the like so there’s more where that came from.

I'm still crossing off intersting albums mentioned on this thread back from circa September :-/

"this thread" = being the rolling metal thread, I mistook where I was for a sec
