GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2002

[Slayed Necros]

Yeah I probably could've. I threw my half-arsed list together without much thought, and unfortunately most of Immo's stuff is too rough on the ears these days. Unholy Cult would've unquestionably been my number 2 but I'd feel insincere listing an album I likely won't ever listen to again.

Wow, Nhility nowhere to be found. Surprised with that.

yeah man, what's even more surprising is that one of Nile's best albums didnt even come close to making it. The in-crowd and their alts came strong for this one.

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah, I expected Nile to feature also.

 

[Slammed]

Not one of mine in the top ten...fuck you people have terrible taste

 

[CiG]

The Chasm also wins 'worst cover art' for 2002.

[CiG]

I-I-I'm a scared.

That Cauldron Born is just pretty crappy all around. Quintessential in-crowd power metal.

Yeah I don't really get it, the debut is pretty sweet though.

it’s pretty awkward but has its moments. the chorus of the song i linked is so fucking good

 

[no country for old wainds]

lol every chasm album has awful art aside from deathcult and farseeing

The Chasm should hire whoever did the MS Paint work on your avatar, couldn't be any worse.

 

[CiG]

Some of their bad art is kinda charming, but that one just stinks.

 

[Krow]

Wow, Nhility nowhere to be found. Surprised with that.

Tbh after their debut, Decapitated is fairly maligned in death metal communities that aren’t overly accepting of tech. I like the album and I remember hearing Spheres of Madness in high school and thinking.... FUCK! But I don’t go back to it too often.

 

[Allfader]

At least Arghoslent made it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it’s not my favourite of theirs, but the cargo still gets a good flogging in my house now and again. catchiest archaic racist nwobhm death metal riff salad in history.

 

[Dak]

Incrowd incrowded hard on this one. Give yourselves a round of applause.
