if it's not too late

I think voting might be able to start around friday/the weekend im not sure though.

Here's an aggregate EOY list, should it spark any last minute ideas:

http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2019/01/25/metal-journalisms-top-30-albums-of-2018/

Metal coverage continues to fall further from the mainstream: Over the past two years of writing these articles I’ve focused on the trend of metal falling out of favor with bigger, more mainstream publications, especially print newspapers. In the past few years we’ve seen a major contraction in metal coverage – extensive or even cursory – over many websites and publications. Unfortunately this appears to be a trend with no real end in sight, and we can add yet another publication of note to the list who has dropped their coverage and didn’t even bother publishing a year-end list for 2018: UK’s The Guardian. Perhaps it seems strange now that such an institution ever covered metal in any serious way, but given that the New York Times still had a full-time music journalist covering metal up until a couple of years ago, it shouldn’t. It’s a shame that as metal has continued to grow and advance and, ironically, be more accepted in the mainstream as possibly ever, it’s becoming harder and harder to access high-quality writing and coverage on it. In that sense it’s no surprise that what remains feels like it lacks in diversity and curation beyond the biggest names from the biggest labels. In many ways metal journalism is fighting for its life, and for many reasons signs point towards it losing that fight.

So, when's the voting deadline?

It's almost certainly too late, but just in case:

Mansion - First Death of the Lutheran

only the drugs can tell us that, imago.

I've added it, is it imago's band?
Mansion - Attack of the Death Grey Lantern?

the og plan was to have voting end a week after big poll rollout but the delay there has put paid to that most likely as 2018 was so long ago now!

on the bright side there is no excuse for not having heard all the albums you want to now to top up what you heard the entire year since the noms started a month ago

rights the drugs family and I have consulted and it will be a 2 week voting period so the results rollout the monday after the big albums poll.

voting hopefully will start tonight or tomorrow

Nominations now CLOSED.

Voting will be live shortly
