ILX Metal n' Heavy Rock Poll 2017: NOMINATIONS thread - open till Dec. 19th!

i will probably vote for the presence ep

oh me too, the title track is one of the most audacious things ever released under the 'metal' banner

simon we generally automatically include as nominations anything that gets in Kerrang/Decibel/Terrorizer/Revolver lists

can't wait to vote for Paramore

A few usually do

And that would be totally defensible for literally any other Paramore album

as far as I remember there are basically no metal or even rock elements on the Linkin Park album either.

there are none

i mean "talking to myself" is arguably "rock" but that's as close as it gets

Remember to nominate your faves in
