YOU TOTALLY MISSED THE ILX HEAVY ROCK/METAL ALBUM POLL COUNTDOWN, SUCKA (CLICK FOR A RECAP)

Woooh! Pentagram!

didn't vote for it, but i love that Pentagram album -- some great stuff on this list so far

ok I've never even heard of Worship, to my shame

can i just say I'm surprised at the amount of DM that has placed so far, I always thought these dudes didn't vote.

needs more BM

Worship were great, but "mad" max committed suicide after the first album, so anything after just isn't the same.

mordy wants more bm? it wouldnt be very kvlt if BM places!

Mordy, happy?

I love that Skepticism album.

I dont know it, Alloy is the one i know

Well I think they're all great but more or less interchangeable.

Venom - awesome, I prefer this one to Black Metal. For a band that were largely considered a complete joke at the time (by themselves too really) they sure as hell have been influential, I wonder what they think of the genres they spawned?

this has Bloodlust and 1000 Days in Sodom on it but Black Metal has Black Metal and Countess Bathory AND Buried Alive.

The production on Sons Of Satan tips it for me

I love Grief, I really do, but man, they have the worst artwork.

damn its not up on spotify

this top 300 is worth it for O_O-ing @ album covers

I hide my Grief vinyl behind other vinyl, lol

lol i know, from the album covers you expect grindgore but thats not what you get!

I'm looking forward to emil.ys artwork liveblogging hehe

I never cared for metal artwork tbh, call me false..

what about Eddie?

people please do not be put of Grief by the album covers, if you want awesome slooooow doooom then check em out. Total legends.

Yeah its like Suicide Doom, its great stuff!

Eddie works well actually. Whatever happened to Vic Rattlesnake?

its more sludge/doom but man they're great. One of my fave Grief albums didn't even get nominated :(

yeah its very sludgy I think they were on like a thrash/punk label for most of their releases.

I didn't even vote for Grief, they didn't survive the cull in my 250 album shortlist! So really pleased this placed.

Vic Rattlesnakehead is still around, although he's not very menacing anymore.

oops yes a typo there

so would anyone like something a bit faster?

btw I'll go on a bit longer tonight than planned since people seem to be chatting. Will help get through them quicker to be on schedule for the top 150 starting on monday and finishing friday.

"Time to blow my brains out! I'm a total fanatic -- probably controlled by the supernatural but in reality I'm here - I'm here in the physical world!!"

So there shall be a Quickening?! The immortals approve!

Must keep mr fever happy!

and the next one up is a bit of a cult classic..

When I first saw this thread I thought there was a Godspeed You Black Emperor! referrence in the title and I was worried I was going to have to go pee on the ILX server until it caught fire
