GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2018

[TechnicalBarbarity]

@HadesRagnazrath Dying to Exist is pure thrash broman. If you like them check this stuff out too ...

 

[PrincessHades]

I love Havok too btw. I havent heard of Fueled by Fire but I'll have to check them out as well

Seems like thrash is heading in a more melodic direction these days

 

[Dak]

Damn, I forgot The Crown - Cobra Speed Venom was 2018 and not 2017. Goin high on the list.

 

[Baroque]

IMO just tally this one anyway, and we can redo it later if people want to, it'd be interesting to see how the lists change over time

 

[CiG]

I plan on ending this one directly after the 1997 game is done with.

4. Burial Invocation - Abiogenesis
5. Vargrav - Netherstorm
6. Necropole - Solarite

6. Ritual Necromancy - Disintered Horror
7. Tomb Mold - Manor of Infinite Forms
8. Apostasy - The Sign of Darkness
9. Vomitor - Pestilent Death
10. Knelt Rote - Alterity

Unfamiliar with the bolded. Guessing the first two are death metal or black/death going off their names. No idea about the last one.

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

Burial Invocation album is 4 long 8+ minute death metal tracks. it's a bit all over the place but i'm liking it more on each listen

Ritual Necromancy is dark death metal / Incantaion worship

Knelt Rote is high energy death/grind. that album is just okay and i only put it on that list because all the other albums from this year i only head a couple times or weren't good at all (Solstice, Summoning)

 

[CiG]

Disinterred Horror rules.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Hard deadline?

 

[CiG]

I won't even begin to consider ending this until 1997 is properly ended.

 

[CiG]

Reminder for anybody who hasn't submitted a list yet to not forget about doing so. Looking to end this one early as possible in March.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm not sure I'll submit one

 

[CiG]

That's fine, just want to make sure everybody has a chance to do so before I close this shit up and start tallying.

 

[no country for old wainds]

id rather we got 90 out of the way first tbh as it’s a banner year

 

[CiG]

Shooting for early March but if you want to be a cunt I'll make the deadline March 27th.

 

[Allfader]

[Dak]

@Dak have you heard the House of Atreus? Sounds a lot like Arghoslent. I don’t think they are as good, though. But I’ve seen a lot of praise for it in various places.

Just caught this. No I have not, will get on that.

Edit: Yeah there's definitely a lot Arghoslent flavor.

 

[Burkhard]

Just updated my list and added five releases, so it's now a top 10 (including one EP).
