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

voting always counts!

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 13 January 2014 17:08 (ten years ago) link

PALMS #17 SPIN metal poll, and also #17 in Rock-A-Rolla.

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

Dunno about the doom/sludge part, but it's some great psych.

Dangit, sorry, wasn't supposed to embed.

Fastnbulbous, Monday, 13 January 2014 17:53 (ten years ago) link

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

This one is new to me. Yours for just $6.66 USD: http://mammothgrinder.bandcamp.com/album/underworlds

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.

Surprised this wasn't higher up. Maybe not enough people considered it metal.

J3ff T., Monday, 13 January 2014 18:23 (ten years ago) link

Possibly

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 13 January 2014 18:24 (ten years ago) link

I was a sceptic at first, but that Suffocation record is really really good.

Siegbran, Monday, 13 January 2014 18:28 (ten years ago) link

#17 Decibel, #17, Stoner HiVe, #32 Captain Beyond Zen

"The Contract" - http://youtu.be/47CP2-f5mdg
"Leaning On A Bear" - http://youtu.be/c90mXA_Jrc4

Kind of shocked that mark e. called them "dreary"! Dark, swirly heavy occult psych, measures up to the great Jess and the Ancient Ones track upthread IMO.

I think this album's status may grow over time.

Fastnbulbous, Monday, 13 January 2014 18:37 (ten years ago) link

Also #13 on Pitchfork Metal list.

Fastnbulbous, Monday, 13 January 2014 18:42 (ten years ago) link

A popular enough band but doesn't get much of a look in on ilm

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 13 January 2014 18:43 (ten years ago) link

Mammoth Grinder is amazing, but like Power Trip the record falls short of their awesome live show. Spellbindingly good.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 13 January 2014 18:45 (ten years ago) link

Which also could be said about this..
