GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1996

[Talos of Atmora]

Fucking whiners. Are you guys pissy because it's not a great year for thrash?

Most likely. I mean, the amount of excellent melodic black metal this year alone makes it worth it.

It's not a great year for death, prog

Wut?

It's not a great year for death, prog, traditional or stoner either. Shitty year for metal in general. In Flames is like one of the best death metal albums that year it goes to show

That would be in my Top 10 too, but I would also have TON, Roots, Pantera and other shit that won't even come close to making it.

 

[Krow]

Lots of good stuff in the top 120. Didn't go any further than that because I'm on mobile.

1996 is apparently an in crowd year, by general reaction thus far.

 

[Phylactery]

I'm not even that into black metal and I think it's a fantastic year. Sacramentum, Scald, Summoning, The Chasm, Katatonia, Adramelech, Crimson Relic, Burzum, Oxiplegatz, Gorgoroth...

I'm not huge on Katatonia but I like everything else there.

Also Falkenbach and Kvist.

Did you already know about Crimson Relic or did you listen to it after I recommended it in the death metal thread? They're underrated as fuck. Album has riffs for days and sickening vocals.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

None So Vile and Here in After are by far the two best albums here.

Filosofem, Millennium and Anithchirst rounding out thje top 5. but im pretty sure a shitty band like sort vokter is probably going to win when we takle Poseurs Inc into consideration.

I listened to Crimson Relic after you recommended it to me several months ago. Great album, though I can't even guarantee it'll make my top 10 this year.

Scald will probably win tbh.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Wut?

a few good death metal albums does not make it a strong year for DM.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Scald will probably win tbh.

anyone that votes that album above None So Vile or Here in After needs to have a special "UM POSEURS INC" shirt mailed out to them.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

It's not a great year for death

Immolation, Adramelech, The Chasm, Crimson Relic, Cryptopsy, Asphyx, Edge of Sanity...

prog

True but not a relevant subgenre for most.

traditional

Agree, but it's the 90s, what are you gonna do.

stoner

lol.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Damn, completely forgot about Psychostasia ... definitely going to make my top 5

 

[-CC-]

@HamburgerBoy considering your interest in that redneck Demigod album, have you heard Waltari - Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C ? I think you may find it even more ambitious, and I'm curious to hear what you think.

It's ironic - for someone who accuses people of groupthink, no one on this site proselytizes consensus opinion as aggressively as you do.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Proselytize these nuts. And my accusation are 100% true. My picks don't revolve around what is and isn't approved by most of the tossers on this forum.

So, what size would you like your "POSEURS INC" shirt in? extra small?

 

[Phylactery]

I like None So Vile to some extent. It's outrageously over the top and full of weird riffs. And it has that ridiculous scream at the end of Benedictine Convulsions. It won't be making my top 10, though.

Here in After and Purgatory's Reign it is not.

Listen, I know this may sound radical, but maybe...JUST MAYBE...they prefer doom to death metal and would rather have that album higher instead. JUST A THOUGHT.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.... oh shit, someone give this gal a cookie.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Don't be too harsh on TB, it can't be easy being an adult human and still not having developed theory of mind.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... so ironic coming form a "groupthinker".

 

[Mort Divine]

man what a good year just from looking things over

sacramentum, summoning, burzum, vinterland, scald, sabbat, adramelech, sacrilege, aura noir, etc.
