GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1983

Probably more a matter of the influence of Dodens grav fading over time.

i freely admit i used to be easily swayed by two users here but pls get your facts straight fag0t and stop these offensive claims that dodens was one of them. my formative years here were before he even registered, we had no respect for one another and i like to think i was one of the reasons he fucked off from this board. i was actually the high priest of demiurge and falconsbane's beautiful anusite union. you'd probably have liked demiurge actually, he was a sociopath with aspergers who used to post about the torture porn VHSs he was buying on the black market.

This got me unnecessarily excited about 1983 and I spent some time checking out stuff like Manilla Road and Satan that I never bothered with before.
