Fuck Brumpxit its the 2016 Metal and Hard N' Heavy Rock Poll Results Thread (With spotify and bandcamp links)

I found that holding it after xmas we get less as people were burned out by EOY polls by then. But those who complained about that didnt always vote in the earlier poll. But basically we have to run it when it suits seandalai. We cant do it without him and he has to do the big poll too. Plus he doesnt want to be bothering with stuff.

I also find that if big poll nominations happen before voting is finished for metal poll that effects us quite badly.
I think holding it earlier makes it more likely to get general ilxors voting, but im not sure about metal thread regs as they like to give december releases a good listen.

bothering with poll stuff over xmas i meant
