I liked the Grayceon on first listen - I think if you searched the Rolling Metal thread I probably gush over it. However, it was one of those records I liked less the more I heard it. Don't know why, but it kept slipping in my estimation.

I've seen TOTD three times and they've smashed it every time yet am still yet to own any of their records
the last time they played to 15 people max in a room that can hold about 700, it was the most ridiculous thing

Wow. For some reason I always had Today is the Day confused in my head with some shitty metalcore band and avoided them like the plague. Oops.

This thread reminds me of a v v v uncomfortable dinner my wife and I had with a couple that was buying one of my father in law's paintings. It was pretty clear early on that they were ultra right wingers and no one we would ever associate with willingly, but it got 1000000x worse when the guy made a comment that ended with "yeah, that's what we call 'em here, 'reggins', so they don't catch on". As I nearly bit through my tongue my wife was squeezing my arm so hard under the table that she drew blood.

things that should still place:
- SubRosa- Uncle Acid- Esoteric- YOB

music aside, this thread has some of the best album covers i've seen in forever and some of the worst

Kerr really wants some predictions. He's worked hard on this, so here's mine.
The top ten I think is probably the easiest to guess. I think I could possibly get as many 8 of them right. In rough order:
YOB - AtmaHammers Of Misfortune - 17th StreetMastodon - The HunterUncle Acid And The Deadbeats - Blood LustCorrupted - Garten der Unbewusstheit Liturgy - AestheticaWolves In The Throne Room - Celestial Lineage The Gates Of Slumber - The Wretch40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room Esoteric - Paragon of Dissonance
11-20 is harder. There's probably some obvious black metal album I'm missing. I'll be lucky to get 50% right.
Opeth - HeritagePentagram - Last Rites Subrosa - No Help For The Mighty OneSkeletonwitch - Forever AbominationBrutal Truth - End TimeThe Devil's Blood - The Thousandfold EpicentreBlood Ceremony - Living With the Ancients USX (U.S. Christmas) - The Valley PathHull - Beyond the Lightless SkyDir en grey - Dum Spiro Spero
21-25 I really have no clue. There are so many worthy candidates. There will be omissions that will shock me, but hopefully it will be balanced by surprises that I haven't heard yet. A couple obvious non-metal albums will probably make it, like Graveyard, which I love dearly but did not vote for, maybe Black Cobra and Lo-Pan. If not those, maybe Gentleman's Pistols, Totimoshi, Freedom Hawk or Ancient VVisdom.
TesseracT - OneGraveyard - Hisingen BluesBlack Cobra - InvernalWhite Wizzard - Flying TigersLo-Pan - Salvador
I'm afraid none of these massively awesome albums will make it. If I'm wrong and at least one does, I'll be thrilled.
Green & Wood - Devil's PlanObrero - Mortui Vivos DocentWo Fat - Noche del ChupacabraGlitter Wizard - Solar HitsLeather Nun America - Kult OccultDopethrone - Dark FoilLazarus A.D. - Black Rivers Flow Maligno - The Funeral Domine Argus - Boldly Stride the Doomed
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 20 January 2012 05:55 (twelve years ago) link
I know one of those massively awesome albums got a number 1 placement on one ballot and I'd be happy as hell to see it place.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 20 January 2012 05:59 (twelve years ago) link
im pretty damn sure sean would've voted for ken mode
Tombs.. I did not enjoy as much as their last record.. where the last one has maybe 25-30% black metal parts, this new one had like 75-80% it seemed to me. They lost me for sure with that.
Generally speaking, I'm getting kinda tired of this move a lot of bands are doing towards a more BM influence. Its getting too much.. And I don't feel that when a band is playing like that, that it feels very fast. Yeah the drums are playing fast, but it always feels to me that they are just playing the faster/smaller subdivisons of the tempo, thus to create a wall of sound like the rest of ther band does with the strumming, not acually playing a fast tempo.. idk, its just getting long in the tooth.. Maybe its seeing a band like Tombs bring more of that in is whats bugging.
On another note.. How the fuck do you guys have time to go through all this shit!!! lol!! Yopu fuckers are animals with keyboards and mouses, yo!.. lol!!

Gtreen & Wood? Saw them with Black Breath at a small warehouse show in Oakland, they were terrible.. well maybe not terrible, but certiainly not gonna make the list. The chick guitar player was smaokin hot though, and she was one of the guitarists from Black Breath's nuts, which we found hilarious.. But also, a very Hollywood/L.A. type vibe about that band too that was big turn off..
