obv genre descriptions are very controversial but maybe albums could have the encyclopedia metallum genre desc posted w/ them? i'd love to know what to check out but i'm not interesting in hunting down another thrash album for example

Mordy , Sunday, 12 January 2014 21:18 (ten years ago) link

Not actually heard this yet

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 12 January 2014 21:51 (ten years ago) link

woe is kind of a… punky, thrashy, post-hardcoreish strain of black metal, not much by way of gimmicks or stylistic hybridization or drama or what have you, save that they sound modern and u.s. and… i dunno. blazing leads, fast drums, throaty howls.

i listened to it a fair bit, a fairly solid, satisfying record.

Will take it down to 91 tonight.

That's a great record.

Ha ha, I love that Goatess cover. Seems effective in creeping people out! Mixed feelings about the placing, glad it made the list, but feel it deserves higher, being at the top of my ballot. Similar with Sahg, my CD came in just a couple days ago and am listening to all four of their albums, and the band definitely deserve attention.

That oVo is freakin intense. Would be interested in seeing them live.

hang on, google is a metal genre now.
fuck, i have so much to learn.

Corrections House was only okay. It wasn't Pinkish Blackish enough for me

One more to go tonight

That Ataraxie record is really good. Also notable was that the band also announced that Joey DeMaio of Manowar would appear on this as a guest musician. Of course, this news came out on April 1st...

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 12 January 2014 23:11 (ten years ago) link

Well I missed the countdown for today. Damn. My wrap up: Tracks list was great!! Happy to see Hell take the top spot!

SAHG album's waaay too low, feel like a lot of people slept on that, it's really good.

And my challops: What is this new trend of death metal bands making album covers that look like black metal? I got excited by the cover of that Obliteration album and then it was all growly death. I mean a band can design their logo however they want and there's always been the cryptic hard to read logo thing in all branches of extreme metal, but something about the combintion of their logo and the cover art made me assume it was black metal... feels like false advertising in a way. It doesn't do what it says on the tin!!

That Summoning track is the only one not available on the album on US spotify so I never listened to it... damn I would have given it a high spot in my track ballot, its incredible! Reminds me of Dissection in its heavier parts, and also Finntroll, lol... it's great.

what's awesome about these countdowns is i get to see the album covers. metal album covers are either terrible or completely insane awesome but often i don't get to have a good look at them whihc is a real shame.

Obliteration too low! Though I'm glad I got my ballot in, otherwise it probably wouldn't have placed at all. Also glad to see a few of my track votes place.
