GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

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?
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

no country didn't ask me for one :(

I'd go with Perpetual Ascent or Tears of God for Demigod prolly
 
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.
 
Went back and listened to the three albums I hadn't heard. Psychotic Waltz didn't leave much of an impression. Solitude Aeturnus seems like the token traditional doom snooze-fest that each list is gonna have imposed on it. The Demolition Hammer album was actually worthwhile. I'll give that one another listen.
 
okay so let's trial this here?


@Elric of Melniboné and @RadicalThrasher - demolition hammer

Just catching up here ,so yeah a little late but

I'd go with the opening track/skull fracturing nightmare



or the closing track/aborticide



Skull fracturing nightmare probably my first choice unless the other guy prefers something different? Not really a bad track on there so.........

Lol what. It's much more in the vein of epic doom like Candlemass and has some power metal leanings and even some convincing thrash sections. In fact, the 2 bands it is mostly compared with are Candlemass and Fates Warning. Your assessment sucks.
