GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

[Vilden]

okay so let's trial this here?

@Burkhard - psychotic waltz
@TechnicalBarbarity and @Bloopy - megadeth
@Talos of Atmora and @Burkhard - solitude aeturnus
@Krow and @zerostatic - incantation
@Baroque - dream theater
@Elric of Melniboné and @RadicalThrasher - demolition hammer
@Atomic Tide - bolt thrower
@Phylactery @crimsonfloyd @no country for old wainds and @Mort Divine - at the gates
@Vilden - darkthrone
@-CyanideChrist- @zerostatic @Master_Yoda77 - demigod

i guess just post your favourite song from these albums in this thread, and in cases where there's more than one person feel free to have a discussion about it, otherwise i'll just take whoever picks one first. i'm happy to make the playlist unless someone else wants to.

Do you even need to ask, considering the quote you choose?

Kathaarian Life Code ofc!

@-CyanideChrist- @zerostatic @Master_Yoda77 - demigod

I'm open for every single song, but I'd vote for The Forlorn

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Kathaarian Life Code ofc!

The vast nocturnal landscape! A strong light-the only NIIIIIIGGHT!

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Neverwhere is the best song on Red in the Sky is Ours. You could basically pick any song off A Blaze in the Northern Sky, but Kathaarian Life Code is pretty fucking enthralling.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Neverwhere is the best song on Red in the Sky is Ours.

I'd agree with that. The violins on that track are brilliantly unsettling.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it's great enough that i wouldn't dispute it either

 

[Phylactery]

Within, Through Gardens of Grief and Neverwhere are my top 3. Since Through Gardens already has two votes I'm happy to go with that one.

 

[no country for old wainds]

my fav on the demigod is the title track

 

[Phylactery]

Towards the Shrouded Infinity bitches.

 

[Burkhard]

As regards Psychotic Waltz, I choose the title track "Into the Everflow". (Though I like "Ashes" nearly as much as the title track - I just wish the second half of this song lasted longer and didn't end rather abruptly.)

I'd do it with @Burkhard but he isn't on right now.

I'd go with "It Came upon One Night"- any objections?

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I'd go with "It Came upon One Night"- any objections?

Man...you know, I was going to say Plague of Procreation or The Final Sin but that isn't a bad choice either.

 

[Burkhard]

Man...you know, I was going to say Plague of Procreation or The Final Sin but that isn't a bad choice either.

While I could live with "Plague of Procreation" I like "The Final Sin" definitely less. Could we agree on my choice, if the next time it should be up to us both to pick a song from an album, I'd leave it up to you to have the final say? (OK, there's no guarantee that this situation will happen again.)

I won't be able to discuss this further (if necessary) right now, because it's already past midnight here and I've got to get up early.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Could we agree on my choice,

Absolutely.

 

[Phylactery]

I think Plague of Procreation is one of the weaker songs on the album personally. I'd definitely go with Seeds of the Desolate or It Came Upon One Night.

 

[Atomic Tide]

i think you meant the title track

I definitely considered it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The Forlorn is one of the least interesting songs on that album.

 

[-CC-]

Oh you think so? Hey do you have an Alice in Chains song to recommend? No? Then shut your pie hole




EDIT: You're probably right though. I'd nominate the title track on second thought.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

no country didn't ask me for one

I'd go with Perpetual Ascent or Tears of God for Demigod prolly

 

[EspaDa]

AS I BEHOLD I DESPISE

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Yeah I'd agree that stuff like tech death falls under the extreme progressive umbrella but it's also somewhat more limiting. Since for tech death or prog death you expect a certain sound and not the spectrum of bizarre things that can happen in a more general "extreme progressive" label.

I'd argue that experimental metal would be the final frontier for the genre. Which hasn't really been done for the most part. We've had trad, doom, sludge, power, speed, black, death, glam, groove, prog, etc. But pure, avant-garde experimental metal? A rarity that has yet to be ventured into with great depth as of yet.
