who is that?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 23:47 (twelve years ago) link
Long, devastating slices of classic riffage, with that dramatic and possessed singing, with that feel that only Lord Vicar (and, obviously Reverend Bizarre) can deliver. It's that sort of music that feels like an ancient painting from a mysterious land. Its beautiful and unsettling but at the same time catchy, heavy and irresistible. It's an album that feels incredibly dense but at the same time calls for repeat listening.- Doomantia

oooh, I voted for that pretty high. One of my favorite this year in general.
― Frobisher (Viceroy), Thursday, 19 January 2012 00:05 (twelve years ago) link
Weird. That was #9 in my experimental/ambient list. I wouldn't have voted for that even if this was the heavy music poll rather than metal. It's not remotely heavy.
― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 19 January 2012 00:06 (twelve years ago) link
See, I don't really consider Barn Owl metal at all (despite the fact I reviewed them in Decibel).

Heh. Will we also see Alexander Tucker, Caretaker, Phaedra, Vladislav Delay, Tim Hecker, Grouper and The Book Of Knots? Peaking Lights? EMA, Austra and Planningtorock? Adele?

Barn Owl sounds like something I need to check out.
(hope everyone's voting in the big poll btw)

And no-one complained when they got in previous polls.
Kerr otm on all accounts; hooray for Barn Owl!!!
― uncle acid and the absquatulators (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 19 January 2012 00:45 (twelve years ago) link
Love Barn Owl, but I file them in with faux Western soundtracks like Scenic and Dead Texan, rather than metal.
― Plato’s The Cave In Claymation (Sanpaku), Thursday, 19 January 2012 00:45 (twelve years ago) link
Didn't vote for them myself but it's a really really good album.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 19 January 2012 00:50 (twelve years ago) link

Love Barn Owl, but I didn't vote for it here. Didn't really consider it metal.

Yeah, I like Barn Owl well enough but not enough to vote for them (I don't think).

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 19 January 2012 09:04 (twelve years ago) link
I will put my hand up and admit I voted for Barn Owl. If we're crying "not metal" then Shooting Guns are a prime candidate too IMO.

Some cool albums
I am sticking with my Uncle Acid/Liturgy/YOB top 3 though I do admit that I forgot about Mastodon, but I maintain that'll place maybe 4th or 5th
Others in the top 10:
CorruptedWITTREsotericPsychic ParamountSubrosaIndian
― uncle acid and the absquatulators (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 19 January 2012 13:48 (twelve years ago) link
I love that Psychic Paramount record but didn't vote for it. Self-censored it as "not metal."
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 19 January 2012 13:50 (twelve years ago) link
and Indian placed yesterday.
Corrupted will do well, maybe top 3.
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Thursday, 19 January 2012 14:04 (twelve years ago) link
Lol. I forgot Indian already placed. Alright, swap that out with 40 Watt Sun.

Earth is an american drone doom band formed in 1990 in Olympia, Washington, United States by Dylan Carlson, Slim Moon, and Greg Babior. They are pioneers in the minimalistic and repetitive form of doom metal known as drone doom.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 19 January 2012 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
wow, low! I think I would have predicted this as top ten. It's good, but definitely more of the same.
