Toaster Leave-Ins, Or More Nominations of a Tourney Thing

[Krilons Resa]

Ugh. Thankfully I have this strange, nostalgic, e-bond with you fuckers cuz I'm sure as hell not sticking around here for your music suggestions.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Same.


The first bracket was kind of balls tbh. Even if I enjoyed half, very little buy worthy shit that I dont already own.

Maybe 2 (3 tops)


Next Bracket is far superior, so theres hope.

im just here for the music taste bashing

 

[Ellestin]

I don't think I'll be able to listen to a Cultes des Ghoules album ever again, in that sense the thread is a therapeutic triumph.

I'm nearly done with the aural probing of the debut bracket, ready to vote by the weekend.

 

[NAD]

Y'all booted out my Agalloch and somehow got two weirdo Cultes del Goonies albums instead.

I laugh from afar!

 

[J.]

Yeah your agalloch album should be in this one plus faustian echoes as a penalty

im conflicted on the leave-ins. should i pick stuff that i think it the "goodest" of the past decade, stuff i think some of you will like, or stuff thats gonna piss you off that you have to listen to. maybe a mix

but im attempting to stay away from black metal, for the most part, as it seems there is a lot already.

Sans the BM comment (which I totally agree with x 666), welcome to my conundrum.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Pseudogod - Deathwomb Catachesis
DHG- A Umbra Omega (Quirky pick)

 

[Krilons Resa]

YOB - Clearing The Path To Ascend
Entropia - Ufonaut
Cult of Luna w/ Julie Christmas - Mariner
Eagle Twin - Feather Tipped The Serpent's Scale
Wreckmeister Harmonies - Night of Your Ascension
Hangman's Chair - Hope/Dope/Rope
Car Bomb - Mordial
Gaza - No Absolutes In Human Suffering
Orodruin - Ruins of Eternity


I second Bertrand's reco of Barus - Drowned. That was one of my top albums of 2018.

This collection may be overall/collectively better than my original offerings for the first 64, tbh. Is this gonna have to be widdled down? WTF are we doing here?

 

[Reign in Acai]

We're at 70 toaster leave-ins currently.

Im figuring more people will chime in and people who have already spoken, will speak further.

We'll conduct a nice hearty break from the tourney after Bracket B. (Im going out of state for a spell so wont be around regardless.)

Anyhow, during the tourney sabbatical, we'll go through the whole widdling down process to get another 64.

 

[Doom]

I was initially against extending this but now think it's a good idea. Sure, there's gonna be a lot of shit in there but this first bracket has been fun.

 

[Ellestin]

Ok then add Fauna - Avifauna, people need to face-palm their way through more neverending USBM about birds and shit.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Waaaaaay too much BM bs in this tournament, tbh.

Dude, black metal is LIFE

 

[Krilons Resa]

There already exists some hipster subgenre called Life Metal. Next.

 

[Ellestin]

Im drunk btw, just for context

 

[Doom]

I'm pretty buzzing myself.
