NOMINATIONS THREAD for ILX METAL ALBUMS Of 2009 (NOMINATIONS CLOSE TODAY!!!!!!) - non rolling metal regulars welcomed to warm themselves by our blackened pyre of statistics, so plz Vom and Note

Starting the nominations a bit earlier this year so I can extend the voting period. I think practically everything is out now but no doubt will be by the time nominations are closed on December 20.

No limits to the amount anyone can nominate, I want a full list for people to vote from so that noone complains something has been left out.
So nominate as much as you like and as often as you like. Use Rolling Metal Thread 2009 as a guide if you're not sure what was out 2009.
Reissues do not count also no material recorded years and years ago but only issued this year. No compilations either.

If there's enough objections to "false metal" nominations then it can be taken off. But last year only 1 person complained about Marnie Stern then it got in the top list and people moaned then. So if there's any objections this is the thread to do it in.
Anyone however complaining "thats false metal" will get pointed and laughed at for the duration of the poll.

Here is a start off point for nominations taken from the metal mags end of year lists.

Happy Nominating!

I dont know the Richard Youngs album but I'm guessing it wont belong on here so if others want it taken off then please say here.

it's very much NOT metal, so it probably should go.

similarly, the SC3 is only really metal by virtue of association. great album, but essentially a pretty faithful 1970s italian soundtrack homage.

Well, if enough people say they should go, they go.

Ugh graveland

keep nominations coming

I've only really listened to two metal albums this year, and one's already been nominated. Here's the other one:

Mantic Ritual - Executioner

"Deiphago - Filipino Antichrist"

might be my fave album of the year. makes everything else sound...quaint.

Amorphis: Skyforger
Antigua & Barbuda: Try Future
Cantata Sangui: On Rituals and Correspondence in Constructed Realities
Entwine: Painstained
Epica: Design Your Universe
Gnaw Their Tongues: All the Dread Magnificence of Perversity
Kreator: Hordes of Chaos
L'Acephale: Stahlhartes Gehäuse
Lifelover: Dekadens
Obsidian Shell: Elysia
Samael: Above
Saros: Acrid Plains
Satyricon: Age of Nero
Secrets of the Moon: Privilegivm
Sirenia: 13th Floor
Thy Catafalque: Róka Hasa Rádió
Urna: Iter Ad Lucem
Witchbreed: Heretic Rapture
Wodensthrone: Loss
Xasthur: All Reflections Drained

okay, i take it back. the gnaw their tongues album isn't exactly quaint. love that one too. the big album for me this year was the overmars album but unfortunately its two years old. and the gog album. but i wouldn't call gog metal even though it is beyond heavy.

Right, if Asphyx and Epica are getting nominations I should rep for these 2 far superior Dutch albums:

God Dethroned - Passiondale
Autumn - Altitude (all you girly metal fans, don't sleep on this one!)

Don't exactly get all the love for the Asphyx album actually, I don't think the songs and the riffs are up to par with Van Drunens awesome-as-always vocal performance.

Tonight I totally rocked out and cleaned my room to the excellent 2009 Eternal Elysium disc Within the Triad.

Hey where is Dethklok Dethalbum II?

Voivod Infini

Also want to second Glenn's nom for Saros. Great band.

just checking out that jamie saft... yes, it's metal. and v. good.

Nihil - Grond (Hydrahead)
Jodis - Secret House (Hydrahead)
Pyramids with Nadja s/t (Hydrahead)
Elitist s/t (Paradigms)
Bosnia - Nazarene Hallucinations (Paradigms)
The Wounded Kings - Embrace of the Narrow House (Eichenwald Industries)
Trippy Wicked & The Cosmic Children of the Knight s/t (self-released)

Wait, that last one isn't self-titled, it's called Movin' On.

re:

The Wounded Kings - Embrace of the Narrow House (Eichenwald Industries)

http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=205418

this is a 2008 release not 2009

Oops, my bad. Sorry.

djmartian are you going to nominate every metal album released in 2009?

I know you must have that list!

(that should be "so you should be fine")

wolfmother is pushing it!

If drone bands count, why shouldn't 70s-style heavy rock bands? Firebird is on there.

nominating stuff is good, but you know Wolfmother are crap.

Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Sonic Youth - The Eternal
Sonic Youth - The Eternal

Baroness is a lock to win, btw.

Again, God I hope not.

why not?

I really, really was turned off by Blue Record; I thought the Red Album was good at first, but familiarity actually lessened my initial liking. Blue Record failed not only to grab me like the first but I felt it was a chore to listen to and have yet to make it all the way through in one listening. I keep returning to it hoping it will hook me because many people I respect love it, but after trying again this morning I think it is just hookless and tired. So I would love for something else to top it in the ILX poll.

One more to add to the list:

Crimfall - As the Path Unfolds...

Time to start thinking about what else you want nominated so it's not missed out when noms close in 5 days. Try and avoid the tom d effect please :)

OK, nominations to add in:

(i may have a few more to add in later this week, i.e albums in my rym sorting list, and there is a metal radio program i listen to on Fridays that is doing a best of 2009 show)

the ILM nominations list should now be fairly comprehensive of the key releases of 2009, re the start of this thread: I want a full list for people to vote from so that noone complains something has been left out.

thanks djmartian, keep em coming folks.

djmartian keep em coming too

Quick correction - it should be Disappearer - The Clearing. I always mistype the damn thing.

its ok i got it, i do actually own it

anything else that's been forgotten?

Okay, I listened twice to that Baroness, having wondered why none of my Metal sources had pimped it. Now, I know: this is retro-rock, for gosh sake, the type of 'progressive' rock that opened the door for the Punk reaction in the '70s, imo.
If one wants to listen to this stuff ( and there's nothing wrong with having simple tastes) then I can recommend this year's Code or last year's Ishahn 'AngL' as being more creative and interesting, not to mention feat better songs, fewer 'filler' garage jams and
more varied ( and well executed) vox.

Now, I know: this is retro-rock, for gosh sake, the type of 'progressive' rock that opened the door for the Punk reaction in the '70s, imo.

you're new here aren't you?

yes, because people into "retro-rock" must have "simple tastes." of course...

I don't really see a connection between that Ishahn record and the Baroness album. Maybe I'm missing something, but they don't seem particularly similar at all.

Ihsahn's 2010 album has a saxophone player on it. If it sounds like Fun House, great, because Emperor fuckin' sucked.

New Ihsahn's killer. This isn't the proper thread, but just throwing that out there.

Yeah it sounded tight on one cursory listen but I'm pretty sure that's where its Funhouse similarities begin and end

hah

only 2days left to nominate

bump
