Reminder of the rules:
- please submit at least *5* releases. But just remember, real men vote at 10.
- first place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.
- feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.
- feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
- feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.

nice, i’ll do this one

 

[CiG]

After this it's 2012 and then we're done. We can still do the 1970's though.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Does Rev Biz' Return to the Rectory EP count as a 2011 release? It wasn't released separately until 2011, but was available as a bonus disc on the deluxe version of their first album prior.

 

[CiG]

I'm happy to count it.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I haven't listened to shit from this year, but I'll drop my hot take that Illud Divinum Insanus is among the best.

 

[CiG]

For anybody into "Godflesh on acid with a crazy horn section."

I'll drop my hot take that Illud Divinum Insanus is among the best.

This is a monster of a year.

We still got Top 10 albums + Top 10 Years of the 90's , 00's, 10's too

Pretty sure 2015 hasn't been done. There was this thread, but it wasn't tallied up or anything.

Ha, I'm a dipshit. I knew that thread existed but didn't bother to check if it was ever tallied. There you go, we still have 2012 and 2015.

6. Virus - The Agent That Shapes the Desert

I was wondering why this didn't show up in my friends' chart. Apparently it isn't even tagged as metal on RYM. Do people here think this qualifies as a metal album? Would definitely vote for it if so.

I just looked and noticed "avant-garde metal" as the last genre tag. Never considered it not metal, or any of their other stuff, really.

 

[no country for old wainds]

metal secondary seems right to me, i’m cool with it being eligible

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Alright, it'll probably make my list then. Never cared much for being a genre purist.

Obsequiae - Suspended in the Brume of Eos
Alda - Tahoma
Elder - Dead Roots Stirring
40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room
Epheles - Je suis autrefois
