I just remembered that the reason I omitted not just SYL but everything Devin-related was the whole "what is extreme?" question that likewise axed most (traditional) doom.

So pretend I voted for City, Ocean Machine, Terria, and probably Accelerated Evolution, scattered thoughtfully throughout my 100.

― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link
my #15, just perfect songwriting. 'well why does it belong on an extreme metal poll then?' you ask. because this is perfect extreme songwriting duh ;)
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link
Welcome back! Very excited about continuing poll.
(Very brief because at work) discovery highlights from today:
Negura Bunket - Unexpectedly cute!Drudkh - Nothing this entrenched in pagan tree-worship can be bad.Harvey Milk - What is this Harvey Milk dream sludge? The fourth track killed me.

the satanic ideal is somewhere between ulver and slayer lol
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:49 (eight years ago) link
what Metallica album do you all think will place the highest, and at what number?
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:51 (eight years ago) link
south of heaven kinda my platonic satanic ideal. probably the metal album i've played the most since it came out? has to be.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:51 (eight years ago) link
imago wouldnt that be ...and justice for all by metallica?
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:52 (eight years ago) link
any of the first three metallica is a good vote. obvious or whatever but what are ya gonna do? they helped write the book. till the cool guy died anyway.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:52 (eight years ago) link
...and bass for none

damn the slayer img link is broken already?this is why I was uploading them to an img server... I get lazy for a couple of posts and look what happens.
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:56 (eight years ago) link
i never listen to and justice for all. some good stuff on it but the beginning of the end...(much prefer garage days EP)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 17:57 (eight years ago) link
(soundwise, i definitely prefer the garage days EP. wish all their albums sounded like that.)

i was VERY excited when and justice came out and i did play it a lot after i bought it but it didn't live forever with me. i could listen to master of puppets any old day of the week.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:01 (eight years ago) link
south of heaven and streetcleaner, what more do you need out of life?
Too loooooow
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:01 (eight years ago) link
like raaaaaaats
― odysseus (imago), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:02 (eight years ago) link
It's definitely enjoyable but I personally wouldn't put Streetcleaner anywhere near the top - dystopian and sludgy, very repetitive, but I kinda see it as an extension to Swans and Killing Joke, and not so much an extreme metal classic.

hoped that might beat out metallica and slayer to #1
― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:15 (eight years ago) link
I remember reading about Bergtatt first in a review that completely panned it as a boring Burzum-ripoff, all recycled riffs, a sure sign that the Norwegian scene had totally lost it if bands like this were coming up, etc.
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:15 (eight years ago) link
"and not so much an extreme metal classic."
i agree but i'll take what i can get in the land of liturgy and deafheaven. still one of my favorite albums.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:16 (eight years ago) link
there's still room for surprises... any thoughts on unexpected albums popping up?

Babymetal?
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 18:17 (eight years ago) link
