GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2017

[Krow]

I might have my order from SKR in time to get to that stuff before the deadline. Not that I think Condenados will break into my top but it did seem like a big improvement over their debut.

is the rym ratings for 2017 somewhat legit? don't even know where to start before the polls end

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

meh it's mostly overly hyped trendy shit heavily promoted by Reddit and the zines

 

[The Ozzman]

So Pallbearer is essentially if Mastodon did doom metal after an initial listen today.

Stayed up all night working on my first RYM list for my top 30 albums of 2017. It's mostly metal, but there's some Space Rock and Ritual Ambient in there that might appeal to metal fans too. Drop some recs if you see any shared interest!

Okay, so I talked with Hells Headbangers regarding the Communion releases. The official release date is actually January 26th, 2018. They said that they sometimes make copies available early and ship them out, but it won't be on Bandcamp properly until the actual release date.

I guess that they're actually 2018 releases. Fucking bizarre since I already have mine.

I listened to Kelle surut soi the other day. The simplistic album art is quite nice, but it seems like a fairly standard pagan black metal outing. I'm sure that there are people here who would love it though.

You're doing it wrong. Since you're supposedly my alt, you should just directly copy my list. Too many of the albums are missing from this post.

Speaking of which, why isn't Vulture on your list? Or Crimson Dawn, for that matter?

 

[CiG]

Both of you are missing Pagan Altar.
