~~~ 15 YEARS OF ILM POLL!!! ~~~ (Metal & Heavy Rock [+ related sub-genres] Edition) RESULTS & DISCUSSION THREAD

post both rollouts at once, 141 or the corrected list followed by 141 of the original list. That would really fuck us all up.

The true metal list and the false metal list.

yeah I cant do anything until I see the new results

but we can decide on a new thread or just restarting here (I know vast texts can interfere with search results) with this thread being deleted

Don't do that to my glorious post count

Well don't delete the thread, we just had all that discussion. Siegbran's post about Nokturnal Mortum was defo a keeper.

well we may as well just restart here then

imo if the rearrangement isn't drastic just post a summary list of the placements up until now?

But new stuff might come up that people want to discuss. Could you start over and just skip the stuff that placed in 200-141 of the old results, or is that too much hassle?

I dont know. but yeah new stuff deserves discussion. But I cant decide until i get the results

start from scratch but remove crap like MCR

do what feels right

except for that

the mcr albums might be even higher this time, lol

Kerr, nobody can answer these questions except for ~you~

not even me atm! I dont have the results!

the only way we can truly fix this is to delete ILX

OK I think there's new albums in the top 300

I think it might be best if I post the 300-151 range then roll out from there as a lot of the albums have already placed. a few things have dropped out and been replaced so if anyone wishes to highlight them with album cover/spotify like then feel free

Ulver seem to have come off worst (dropping 30 places) , lol so that will wipe the smugness off LJ haha

I'll give you all 10 or 15 mins to discuss everything before resuming the roll out. I'll try get down to 121 tonight

this is now Blood Inside hour

coz it's my #5 and it's the best and why is it so low why why why

Somebody will be happy Domains sneaked in this time, Amon Amarth lose out (the person who nominated them didn't vote fwiw)

i voted for Amon Amarth though not the one that showed up before

xxp I voted for it too, fairly high. You're probably not surprised about that.

Piano Island also a great record, though I don't listen to it much any more, I prefer Young Machetes for my occasional Blood Brothers fix.

Domains made it into the original poll results but disappeared during a re-post for some reason. They've dropped from 218 to 281, ha.

My number one, Ordo ad Chao, gained 11 spots, and Henbane dropped by 30.

Obliteration's Black Death Horizon has magically materialized, however, so that's good. Recommended for anyone who likes creeping black/death metal that moves at a sort of Autopsy pace and has an atmosphere that combines Soulside Journey and Blaze in the Northern Sky. It's a very aptly named album.

Just put on the closing track of the Nokturnal Mortum as I forgot to listen to it earlier. tt reckons it sounds like Last Christmas by Wham

last christmas i gave you my iron cross

Is it the reissue because they covered Nights in White Satin

mclusky do dallas has turned up in the top 200! it's an indie rock album. i voted for it

Aw fuck, Zombi were nominated and I didn't see that album was there when I voted! Fuck!

anyway, nokturnal mortum, my discovery of the poll so far, wouldn't have been in the top 200 if we'd run it properly, so i have sean's wonky maths to thank

I must need to listen to Ordo ad Chao, because the rest of Devilock's post was very much regarding my interests.

Still, kinda bummed. If Domains and CDG are so low -- what kind of heavy rock/metal is high? Who am I supposed to drink whiskey with??

Yes, great album. This year's is even better.

Hey, TMV haven't showed up again yet!

That is a beautiful album art. There is much Oranssi Pazuzu still to be explored

xxpost

The production of Ordo ad Chao is gonna make a first listen very odd. Like I said earlier, it's very lo-fi but not in a jagged, crackling "necro" way. It just sounds distant and foggy. All the performances are stellar.

I had read someone saying it was what DSO should be, and that intrigued me -- not sure why I didn't investigate then. Maybe just because I don't think of Mayhem as that kind of band, but whatevs. On it!

I've heard Ordo Ad Chao a couple of times, it's really cool but I need to give it a really concentrated listen. time to crack out the whisky

Which album is what DSO should be? (I assume you mean Deathspell Omega because the Detroit Symphony Orchestra is great as is. At least they were when I lived nearby.)

Ordo Ad Chao sund4r, but I can't vouch for that comparison because I haven't heard it yet!

such a great album
xp

this was good heavy-goth iirc, not quite Pinkish Black but worth a listen

Yay for Valonielu!

I had Beastmilk on my first draft but nixed it over the course of things. Really good though, obv.
