I will nominate and vote, although like many I haven't listened much to new metal.
― Siegbran, Monday, 9 December 2019 16:17 (four years ago) link
So you say, but I'm sure you'll nominate some stuff that hasn't made it onto the spreadsheet yet. I look forward to it.
And yeah, unperson, rushomancy, Brad, imago, Sund4r and everyone else should participate.

I've really not gone that far out left field this year I think.
― Siegbran, Monday, 9 December 2019 16:53 (four years ago) link
I'll vote this year. And I resolve not to make comments regarding non-metal records that place.
― BlackIronPrison, Monday, 9 December 2019 17:11 (four years ago) link

Calling GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ to the nominations thread. Every year there's always at least a dozen incredible albums that I wouldn't have discovered without him.

Hey thanks! I've had kind of a slow year wrt music so there's only a few that weren't up already but I posted them.

new Reveal album is monstrous
― "Third of the Storms" Jazz (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 10 December 2019 15:23 (four years ago) link
It's on my list.
Also, looks like a new Turia will be coming out in February. Here's a foretaste:

Hey rusho you mind if I c+p yr list in the noms thread (I'll edit out duplicates, don't worry ON)...there's some stuff on there I'll prob vote for and some stuff I want to check out
― the oxford book of chaos (Drugs A. Money)
yeah please go for it, i'd do it myself but i can't figure out what's a duplicate and what isn't
― Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Tuesday, 10 December 2019 16:50 (four years ago) link
rush, all you need to do is check the spreadsheet at the top of noms thread. Ctrl + f is the surest method.
(No pressure, though.)

the disentomb record is brilliant, glad i have this in my life
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 December 2019 21:01 (four years ago) link
like a song-by-song confirmation that they're as special as i thought they were
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 December 2019 21:05 (four years ago) link
this is making me feel better about ultimately not loving the tomb mold record as much as i wanted to

How do we rate the year in metal out of 10?
― Dog Is Daed (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 00:05 (four years ago) link
11

the teitanblood, abonormality, and facelift deformation records were my disappointments of 2019. spun previous records way more than these. all three just go in one ear and out the other.
liked the pissgrave (sick live btw) and blut aus nord but haven't gone back to either much. new darkthrone was cool I think but I barely remember it. tomb mold was OK (fun live tho).
need to hear the mgla. and a million more, I suppose. but I keep just playing the first convulse record instead. which works too.

good death metal that maybe leans on the synths for padding, but i love a beholder on an album cover

Was just reminded on Twitter that Chuck Schuldiner died 18 years ago today. Wasn't planning on listening to Human and Individual Thought Patterns tonight, but now I guess I will.

I wish when the two Entombed factions split, they had naned themselves Disentombed and Datentombed

Yeah always a good time for Death. Think ill throw Human on

I've already been going through a Death revival over here because I watched that documentary about Chuck but any excuse to put on any of their records tbh

Ran into one of my exes a few weeks ago and she was with a friend. He saw how I was dressed and asked me if I knew who Chuck Schuldiner was.
On seeing my face light up, he starts telling me he went to high school with Chuck. Not shocking, he grew up within five miles of the building we were in. He recalled where his house was, all that.
But this guy wasn't a metalhead. He just said he knew him growing up, said he was a very quiet guy, and that he didn't even know he was a musician.
He talked about hearing about Chuck being sick, and eventually dying, and saw the outpouring of sadness from the metal community for Evil Chuck...he was stunned. He had no idea dude was a musician, much less a legend of an entire scene.
Kinda the amazing thing about the scene at the time. A casual friend of yours could have secretly been a metal god and you had no idea the dude even played music.

I... like? this new Ihsahn tune? I like that it features a horn section too.

this is probably the right/wrong place to point out that the white ward album is imo kind of boring, and as ever, if you wanted abstract BM with saxophones, head to the last dodheimsgard album
― imago, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 21:34 (four years ago) link
Def the right place (otm btw).
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 22:07 (four years ago) link
I for one will fire up Dodheimsgard asap.
