15 Years Of ILM POll (Metal & Heavy Rock Edition) NOMINATIONS AND DISCUSSION THREAD (Nominations Close Friday April 15 2016)

Mooted this a year or 2 ago but CBA but there was so much enthusiasm on Frobisher's awesome Extreme Metal Poll that he has decided, with some help from yours truly, to co-run a metal poll that will encompass the lifespan of ILM. well, roughly...

Anything released between January 1 2000 and December 31 2015 can be nominated as long as it fits the parameters of the poll.

This threads discussion will decide if it "metal or heavy rock enough" Anything that made the EOY polls is allowed.

Anything from 2016 is not allowed because they will be eligible for the EOY poll.

The reason we have gone for this one is that an all genre poll or a poll that included all rock would probably clash with the artist polls queue. Metal however seems to exist on its own as I dont think anyone from those polls took part in the extreme poll so this poll is not stealing anyones thunder. However everyone there *is* welcome to join in if they want to.

Please Just follow the usual rules for nominations
PLEASE BOLD your nominations in Artist - Album Format

such as the following

Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Mastodon - Remission
Isis - Oceanic
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Converge - Jane Doe
Boris at Last -Feedbacker
Corrupted - Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos
Corrupted - El Mundo Frio
Corrupted - Garten Der Unbewusstheit ‎
Boris - Flood
Boris - Dronevil
Sunn 0))) - Flight Of The Behemoth
Sunn 0))) - Black One

No limit to nominations, nominate anything you would consider nominating or think others might. This is also a chance to listen to albums before voting hence the month-long nominations. You dont need to nominate every album released that noones ever heard of course!

Please also add your nominations to the Spotify playlist
https://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/4S8akTlAsZqRGc0eSPnoqy

You all can decide if Kerrang friendly emo like MCR, Fallout Boy etc is allowed but I say why not.

All this metal is going to kill ILM.

if only.... but ilm doesnt notice all the metal stuck away in its ghetto

I'm all aboard with more Metal. The world needs more Metal. The world outside is Metal. I almost wonder if some of my PoliSci professors just show up to class and play Streetcleaner with 'Beyond Thunderdome' running on an endless loop and leave the room ...

I'll think about doing this. Probs just gonna vote for all Dev Townsend and Gojira tho.

I'll add them to the spotify playlist tomorrow, it's too late for that over here.

and no xp

j/k I don't know, don't care for that scene much myself but if there are noms so be it

I feel like that kinda stuff isnt catered for in ilm polls so i dont mind but maybe nobody actually wants to vote for it and only nominate it to troll?

brad,mordy, sund4r, maura, markers etc would genuinely vote for it tho *if* they all voted

i am a voter + much more likely thread participant if nu-metal / emo is allowed

you vote anyway in the polls so i think it proves theres genuine interest not just trolling by the usual suspects

you would need to persuade ppl who never vote in metal polls to participate otherwise you lurk outside the top 5000 with 2 votes

Would the Microphones / Mount Eerie qualify? Some heavy riffage on his records.

basically i think if Kerrang covers it then its in. Which has always been EOY metal poll policy anyway.

xp
Mount Eerie have been in metal eoy poll

we allow Zombi remember. Trans Am and Marnie Stern made the metal eoy poll before too.

and yes Swans are allowed..

oh and Leee yes bardo pond

Boris - Pink
Boris - New Album
Isis - Celestial
Isis - Oceanic
Bardo Pond - On the Ellipse
Bardo Pond - Bardo Pond
Bardo Pond - Peace on Venus
Bardo Pond - RSD Trilogy
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO - New Geocentric World of Acid Mothers Temple

I wasn't even going to ask, Kerr. xp

remember to add nominations to
https://open.spotify.com/user/pfunkboy/playlist/4S8akTlAsZqRGc0eSPnoqy

Mogwai - My Father My King
Sleater-Kinney - The Woods

the latter doesnt really fit

the mogwai was a single anyway

MFMK was an EP.
The Woods is heavy.

If anybody wants to run a tracks version of this poll go ahead though

im sure someone (maybe jf) will get round to do a general ilm lifetime poll eventually. I thought he considered one a year or 2 ago.

idk if emo can be really folded into heavy rock. it's much more related to punk imo

however any band that converge inspired is fair game imo so i'm prob gonna nominate august burns red and the devil wears prada for fun

also nu metal should absolutely be allowed

hah, emo has as much relation to punk as nu metal has to metal

spreadsheet updated as of now

I think nu-metal, post-hardcore, and related subgenres should count.

Does Andrew WK count?

I sure hope so!

I fucking hate spotify's autoplay when you click on a playlist link but at least this time it starts with a song whose intro gives me goosebumps, so it's not so bad for once.

Absu - Abzu
Deathspell Omega - FAS - Ite, Maledicti, in ignem Aeternum

Sounds like metal

trying to work out which nominations of mine would irritate the top man the most

All of them, probably. Most of the nominations thus far have been extremely annoying and about as ILM as it's possible to be, which is why I stepped in with my list. (More to come - folks need the opportunity to vote for Killswitch Engage and Five Finger Death Punch.)

and will you vote phil?

Assuming I see my nominations on the final list, absolutely.

they are already added so no assuming necessary

yes

Hell, I might vote for Wolfmother. That's a good album.

how is Bardo Pond more metal/hard rock than Wolfmother

Wolfmother have hooks and have been seen smiling in photos. Ergo, not metal in ILM-world.

How did you get into metal so late?

No idea! I just decided/realized one day I was curious about metal. Black metal in particular was always one of those things I was curious about, from a distance. I'd heard Emperor, and bits and pieces of other things, but never enough to really form an idea of what it was. Then, a few years back, I went through a big Black Sabbath phase, which lead me to checking out stuff like Electric Wizard. I really liked that, and then started checking out actual black metal like Darkthrone, which in turn led me to Bathory and Celtic Frost, as well as Mayhem, Gorgoroth and other 2nd wave Norwegian stuff. It wasn't really about learning a canon, it was just finding stuff I liked, and branching out slowly from there. And I like a challenge ;)

(of course, I was already familiar with stuff like Meshuggah, Orthrelm, Sunn O))) -- music that might end up at someone's door who was already looking for experimental rock music anyway)

Dominique how come you have not investigated more modern metal then?

cause there's only 24 hours in a day! I feel like I've traversed a huge territory already, in going from knowing zero, to not only knowing a lot about that era of underground metal, but starting to understand how it works (musically), what my preferences are, how different bands relate to each other, what they were listening to themselves, etc. Pretty immersive experience, so I imagine I will eventually get to a point where that connects to now (and if you look at the records I submitted, it often already does), but I'm certainly trying to rush anything. Smell the black roses, you know?

not trying that is

Wait, no to what? Xp

Also what is your stance on Fonal Records?

the fall, rtx and sonic youth and gang gang dance

its not an all rock poll.

look at the title

Ok ok

we never did the 60s or 90s version of the rock poll we did for the 70s and 80s

Im gonna let you decide what stays and what goes since the lines you draw are weird, but if GGD goes, OOIOO prob should too

stirmonster still wants me to run the 60s one but im committed to this metal poll as quite frankly theres more interest

plus there was objections from the artist poll people whilst metal doesnt matter as its its own thing noone there is interested in.

Maybe i could join that queue to do one later?

Not a bad idea imo

only thing is blount aint speaking to me anymore and quite frankly it wouldnt be as much fun without him

In Novia / La C aren't heavy either!

^good choice

wont please the campaign for real metal people

very good album though

I havent heard it in years though so I wonder how it holds up?

Mortualia - Blood Of The Hermit
Les Discrets - Septembre Et Ses Dernières Pensées
Infernal War/Kriegsmaschine - Transfigurations
High On Fire - Snakes For The Divine
Raventale - After
Hell - Human Remains

also, my earlier nomination title was wrong, it's not self-titled:
Grand Supreme Blood Court - Bow Down Before the Blood Court

i'll take toxicity over any opeth album

Let's not kid ourselves, Limp Bizkit's going to walk this.

***I noticed that this is the AFOS album that appears on the spreadsheet, though 'Beware the Sword You Cannot See' is the one that was nominated. Can a responsible adult rectify this? :)))

And sorry for the flood. I hope The Blood Brothers and Cave In are eligible, I have faint recollections of both getting rock mag coverage back in the day

no problem

how could I forget about...

Stargazer - The Scream That Tore the Sky
Stargazer - A Great Work of Ages
Stargazer - A Merging to the Boundless

Will extend this by a fortnight due to having flu.

(Nominations Close Friday April 15 2016)

I am just discovering Inquisition. And dang they are great -- wish they'd produce the next Darkthrone record

also, it's early, but I can already tell this is a great record:

Khthoniik Cerviiks - SeroLogiikal Scars (Vertex of Dementiia)

ok added. flu is better but still allowing the extra time for noms, if a Mod is reading could you change closing date to April 15 please?

thanks mod

does Master's Unreleased 1985 Album (2003) count for this poll? Cause it's awesome

What happened to this?

pm'd seandalai a few weeks ago about him setting up the form but i think hes snowed under. I said there was no rush and to do it once he has time.

It will happen and I'll let voting last 2 months so drugs george money and co can do their revision they always request.

oh ok, cool!

Lol no amount of revision will save my ballot probably

Jute Gyte - Ship of Theseus
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye
Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue
Kayo Dot - Hubardo
Liturgy - The Ark Work

i second all of these!!!

can I add:
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Grand Opening and Closing,

dunno, you need to ask seandalai
