Some of you guys here who like Manilla Road, Slough Feg etc will probably enjoy this album.

are you trying to be funny acting like this obscure 1979 curiosity is from 2011?

 

[CiG]

Classic 1979 power stances.

Is this 2011 or 2012? Discogs seems to be saying 2011, but RYM is 2012. I'd probably include it if it was 2011.

From Metallum:

Was pressed twice: 300 copies in the first press and 500 in a second, identical press in 2012.

 

[Somethingface]

Thanks, I'd say the turkey who added it on RYM was using the 2nd press...

10) STAINED GLASS REVELATIONS by NEGATIVE PLANE


Genre: Black Metal

"Interesting but overrated album." - @crimsonfloyd

Voted for by:
@Slayed Necros (1st place)
@Somethingface (5th place)

TOTAL POINTS: 16

 

[CiG]

.:TIED FOR 8th PLACE: 18 POINTS:.
​

the AGENT that SHAPES the DESERT by VIRUS


Genre: Avant-garde Metal / Experimental Rock

"The drawback is that some of the songs blend together a bit too much, but the atmosphere is top notch and the geologically themed lyrics are a big step up from Written in Waters' edgy poetry about raping swans." - @Vegard Pompey

Voted for by:
@Vegard Pompey (4th place)
@Oblivious Maximus (6th place)
@CiG (7th place)
@no country for old wainds (9th place)

SUSPENDED in the BRUME of EOS by OBSEQUIAE


Genre: Melodic Black Metal

"I like Obsequiae but feel like their last two albums have been rehashes of Suspended in the Brume of Eos, but not as good." - @challenge_everything

"I dig that album quite a bit, I have ever since one person here posted it (I think it was Cyth but I'm not sure). Either way, it rules. Musically complex yet definitely non-wanky." - @The Butt

Voted for by:
@rms (1st place)
@dwellerINTHEdark (3rd place)

 

[CiG]

7th) REDEMPTION at the PURITAN'S HAND by PRIMORDIAL

@Somethingface (1st place)
