Vattnet - Vattnet

https://vattnet.bandcamp.com/album/vattnet

Black Mare - Death Magick Mother

https://magicbulletrecords.bandcamp.com/album/black-mare-death-magick-mother

I guess if we have the Chelsea Wolfe album this one should be fair game:

Lingua Ignota - All Bitches Die

I mean the Wolfe album *is* unquestionably metal for long stretches but yeah the Lingua Ignota is fine by me

Slaughtbbath - Contempt, War and Damnation

Anomalie was already nominated

Nominations are closed. 472 albums in all - 2 shy of last year.

voting prob wont start til tomorrow so I'm sure if there's anything been missed you can add before seandalai opens.

Plus we usually allow nominations to be added after votings started because there's always people who say they didn't know nominations were started

been busy lately as my mum broke her leg on the icy path across the road last friday as the council hadn't gritted the roads and paths. So its going to be even more hectic once she gets home (dunno when)

yeah gl with that. no rush with anything

Since I neglected a couple on the falser end, I'll add them to put us on par with last year:

Gold Key - Hello, Phantom
Grave Pleasures - Motherblood

Hey, this Elder album isn't half bad you know. This kind of "stoner" stuff isn't usually my kind of thing.

...And you will know us by the Crack the Skye

The Body - A Home on Earth

I just found a few more via those handy new Spotify genre lists

Throane - Plus une main a mordre
Vassafor - Malediction
JoDöden - Sittandes i sjön med vatten över huvudet
Saiva - Markerna bortom
Vukari - Divination

Is it common knowledge that Phil from Vassafor played bass for the Chills once? Just for a tour. So weird.

imago, you might get some mileage from the Multishiva album? It's basically blackened sludge with lots of Värähtelijä-style effects on top

Voting thread is up. Could a mod kindly lock this one?
