Best Aussie metal/rock release of 2005

[Goreripper]

Time to help decide the Eternal Question.

I had to make two polls, because the pollster thing only allows 20 questions at a time. The results will be tallied and an article will be posted on Pyromusic.Net on completion of the poll.

If you chose "Something else", tell me what you chose please!

NOTE: I'm only including album-length releases featuring new material in the poll, no re-issues or best-ofs, hence why there's no Alchemist or diSEMBOWELMENT in the list. Resurrection was included because it's a new recording.

Gyroscope- Are you Involved?

 

[Spiff]

I think the only Aussie metal release I bought this year was Vanishing Point, so I'll go with that one after much thought and contemplation.

 

[TinMan666]

I've only heard the VP one, too.

But my mate is playing bass for Enter Twilight at the moment so I should vote for them out of loyalty.

 

[KoichCPA]

They are pretty rubbish though

The Eternal

 

[KoichCPA]

Is the new one as good as sombre light?

Is the new one as good as sombre light?

yeah it's great. A little bit different from Sombre. Still pretty doomy but not as doomy as 'Sombre'. Great ambient feel though.

whom?!

 

[The Amazer]

It sucks -

Vanishing Point is the winner for me - an absolute masterpiece of an album. But The Deadthings album (what I've heard) is amazing too! Not to mention raven black night - and I am a big fan, got a bit drunk with them before Motley last Thursday!

 

[TinMan666]

oooh - next year you can ALL vote for MY album!

 

[MeKaChrOme]

Is the new one as good as sombre light?

Yeah I actually like the new one better than Sombre light.. But agreed - less doomy, seems at times a little more straightforward.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Might sound biased because I'm in the band now (but I'm not on the album!), but my pick goes to The Deadthings - Who Killed Holly Would?

 

[JonBonJovi]

Enter Twighlight does indeed suck...very very boring!

Five Star Prison Cell - The Complete First Season

 

[Winmar]

I saw Five Star Prison Cell support Arch Enemy. Good luck to them and everything, but they were such an inappropriate support!

what sort of music do they play?

 

[Winmar]

Hmmm it's hard to describe. Heavy in bits, with Mike Patton-like vocals in others. Nothing like Arch Enemy! Can you give a better description, Southy?

 

[mattt]

yeah I knew they would sound like a Patton project. Adam Glynn is such a Patton wannabe

 

[Winmar]

Yeah he did sound like one...
