No, We Aren't Making These Bands Up: ILM Metal Poll 2010 Results Thread

Oh, totally! Thats the #1 use for my turntable.

and since ilxor lives in the usa he doesnt have to pay $20 shipping like us not in north america.

Shipping is the worst part actually, as to send it to the UK it can cost more than the actual record. Americans dont realise how good they got it!

Anyone here ever pick up good old metal vinyl bargains?

I have a friend who had a rulke he would never spend more than $20 including shipping on metal vinyl and in the space of only a couple of years he has many, many hundreds of LPs. I used to buy metal vinyl for $2-5. Although I stopped some time ago (and then lost everything when the basement flooded) I had several hundred elpees, mostly all used and cheap. I cannot imagine things have changed that much.. I mean, I had tons of Anvil records for $3 each!

One assumes he was American?

One assumes correctly however since we were convincing ilxor and he lives here...

Lucky him, shipping is such a killer now since prices doubled

So far my greatest discovery from this poll has been Cathedral. Thanks to those who voted for them.

Yay! My favorite metal record of last year. Glad you're enjoying it in all its craziness.

Yeah, I totally dig the 70s stoner-hippy grooviness. It's weird because I was like 3 when music like that was popular, but it just sounds right to my ears - must have been subconsciously imprinted on my brain as an infant.

me too. Maybe just being alive in the 70s was enough; I had rust-colored bell bottoms, after all.

I haven't gotten into disc 2 as much yet - it seems more 'normal' stoner/doom metal - but disc 1 has been in heavy rotation lately.

You mean it wasn't the Hellbeard record? gasp!! lol!! xp

love how sean is saying "xp" his first week on ilx, dude's a regular already

i'm just now hearing that quest for fire record—more satisfying than i sometimes find psych recommendations. it's pretty fucking heavy and serious, though not in a black sabbath/bardo pond heaviness sense, just a very solid and unrelenting low end and not a lot of guitar psych bendiness up top.
