GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1991

[CiG]

Isn't this the whole point of 1991 being a hard year? Most things that get left off will be things that deserve to be on the list.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Good list overall, although I don't get the megalove for Like an Everflowing Stream. It's a good Swedeath album but nowhere near the quality of Blessed are the Sick, Unquestionable Presence, War Master, or Clandestine. Even Testimony of the Ancients shits all over it imo but I'm well aware I'm on the outer with that opinion.

 

[Satanstoenail]

btw @no country for old wainds that Master's Hammer cover doesn't show up for me

Same here. Maybe only British people can see it, sort of like how only British people can fly.

Yes, that would be the more likely scenario.

Indeed. The Rack fucking slays. The title track is almost everything I want from death metal; torturous, morbid and fucking disgusting. Where did it come overall?

12th. missed out by 6 points.

i edited that pic but idk if that fixed it as it was showing for me the whole time
