The 2018 ILX Metal n' Heavy Rock Poll VOTING + CAMPAIGNING thread! NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE! Ballots due by Friday, February 15th 11.59pm PST

I submitted mine this morning.

I’ll be voting today!

voted jsut now fwiw. only a dozen or so records i listened to & enjoyed & didn't get deep into the noms like i hoped! sorry for ruining everything

It's ok! We'll make sure to blame you anytime anybody complains about the results!

it's ok the co-pollrunner gets the blame

Yeah we all know who's really at fault here haha *nervous*

nah i'll be your sin eater! tell em i voted for only the very most overrated stuff just to piss off the ppl who know the /real shit/

and also my ballot was counted five times

i can't wait to be the wrestling heel of this rollout now!

I'm listening to YOB right now. I remember being pretty bored with Atma but I've only started the second track and already this seems much more engaging. I barely noticed that the first song was ten minutes!

"The Screen" has a pleasing lurch

All Yob is great

Ehhh

I had to re-start "In Reverie" 3 times because my attention kept wandering...def getting those Atma vibes again. Sounds like something that could have been on Surrounded by Thieves if Matt Pike had been trapped in a terminal k-hole

The tally, thus far = unperson, 1; sludge wizards, 2

Has anyone seen imago or tt? usually they are on the voting and campaigning thread. Are they even going to vote?

I can’t vote because I’m way way way out of it but I <3 YOB!

By “it” I mean being aware of new releases

We'll vote tomorrow!

I'm liking "Beauty in Falling Leaves", very pretty

That said, a 16-minute power ballad is a formidable proposition no matter who is behind it

LL a small ballot is fine!

Btw I could tell within thirty seconds that "Original Face" was my favorite song off the album. Serious Anointing of Seer vibes. I'll bet it kills live!

Time to make coffee and begin this ballot. Hopefully we still have until whenever we go to sleep to vote...

youve had an extra week!

it was always going to be on the last day

Voted

voting ends in about 13 hours?

Today I heard the preview track off the Waste Of Space Orchestra album and it's already more exciting than all of last year's metal

I mean can you even

What did you think of the Entropia? I thought it was good but fell slightly short of my favorite records by Oranssi & Aluk Todolo

It was...OK. I'm still reeling from the WOSO preview track

I'd agree with that. They have the potential to be as good though.

Simon H totally otm re: LLNN. I'd forgotten how much this album absolutely rules and it's climbing my ballot the more I re-listen.

Louis not wrong about WOSO.

Concentrate on last year!

I voted!

Inspired by what I posted, I have now heard Dark Buddha Rising.

Folks. I mean, why didn't you say?

We did, years ago. You slowcoach.

Voted!

I can't remember whether through Kerr's metal email list or through EZ that I heard DBR but I could never quite get into them. They kind of reminded me of UFOMammut

Well, Ufomammut have never really moved me, but all I know is that this is *the shit*

Azusa currently bringing the sick post-hardcore tunez

My word, that got amazing.

Voted!

we might be able to start the rollout sat afternoon like how we used to keep fingers crossed

I am listening to the new Uncle Acid...this is actually pretty good. Maybe they were this year's Comet Control all along :/

but you all still have a whole 8 hours at least to vote. Seandalai will close the voting form when he's ready to tabulate.

32 ballots according to seandalai

Voted. Get yer ballots in ye swine

Yeah this Uncle Acid album was awesome

Voting is closed and I haz results. Not looked at yet of course.

If the george is ready I think we will start the rollout shortly.
maybe do 10 today and 10 tomorrow then 20 mon-thurs

Going to do a 125 for the lols. thats 25 bonus albums for the weekend and 100 during the week.

That’s a lot of metal! It’s going to be a wonderfully intense February. So glad it’s half term.

That is way too much - why not a cut off when the points start spreading out meaningfully? I guess it isn't my poll
