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...

Will resume around tomorrow lunchtime (UK) I guess.

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.

I can't stop listening to that Hell song. So OTT but great at the same time.

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.

o. nate, Monday, 13 January 2014 16:59 (ten years ago) link

Ulver didn't appear in any other metal polls that I know of.

Not many options to stream Deveykus it looks like. I really don't think withholding that is going to help their album sales any. http://youtu.be/LCyLZEqBUwQ

Fastnbulbous, Monday, 13 January 2014 17:28 (ten years ago) link

they're on Tzadik which takes the Drag City approach to digital distribution options as far as I can tell

Anyway, awesome to see it place, I don't think I even campaigned for it, was just outside my top 20.

Fastnbulbous, Monday, 13 January 2014 17:57 (ten years ago) link

Really? That Mammoth Grinder is AWESOME. Should've been higher – but I guess you pussies couldn't handle the thrash attack.

J3ff T., Monday, 13 January 2014 17:58 (ten years ago) link

RYM Genres: Crust Punk, Grindcore, Sludge Metal, Hardcore Punk.

So do you all generally agree with the genre tags on Rateyourmusic?

Fastnbulbous, Monday, 13 January 2014 18:03 (ten years ago) link

The problem with RYM is that the people that use it are prog metal dorks, so anything scarier than Dream Theater they just label as grindcore.

J3ff T., Monday, 13 January 2014 18:05 (ten years ago) link

It's been useful for my research in 1968-72 psych prog, but yeah I can see there being problems with current metal genre tagging.
