Ultimate Metal Hall of Fame August 2016 Inductions

[H.P. Lovecraft]

A few hours late with this, but, hey, c'est la vie. Anyhow, you jokers get how this goes, we're here to induct what this forum finds to be the worthiest among all artists and bands who play metal of being in a hall of fame. List up to 15 bands you feel are deserving (that haven't already been inducted, make sure you check), then, at the end of the voting cycle, I'll tally all your votes and we'll have our new class of inductees for the month of August. As the list has been getting a little on the lengthy side in terms of the physical space it consumes on a post, I'll simply link our Hall of Fame Museum for information regarding all prior classes of inductees: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/threads/ultimate-metal-hall-of-fame-museum.1026011/

Feel free to change up your band choices as you please for the first 3 to 4 days of the voting cycle too, we'll close up shop at 12:00 AM sharp on September 1st, so get crackin' boys and girls!

I always have trouble finding the previous month's thread to see what I chose and carry it on to the next month.

Does this go by every two months?

Did you mean to post this in GMD Social instead of GMD? I was disappointed this wasn't a non-metal spinoff. Now I'm wondering what this site would agree on as the canon of non-metal.

May have been a mistake on my part, sorry.

Here. http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/threads/um-hall-of-fame-july-2016-inductions.1048754/ Perhaps you should save your list to some sort of document to keep it secure for every month. I keep my list in a word doc and change it as needed, then copy and paste it to the new induction thread.

Probably have to specify genre for a non-metal version, unless we want a really fucking weird Hall of Fame...

I tend to have less traditional tastes, but hopefully something makes it on:

Windir
Primordial
Emperor
Sear Bliss
Arcturus
Borknagar
Hellveto
Therion
Darkspace
Suidakra
Slough Feg
Blind Guardian

 

[CiG]

Should I post mine here or are you moving it to GMD?

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

We may as well keep it here seeing as it's already grounded here and gaining decent attention, I'll put it back in its place in the GMD section next time around. So, go for it.

Hey, faggot, vote.

[H.P. Lovecraft]

British doom Solstice or American thrash Solstice? Ensure you specify stuff like that.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Hey, faggot, vote.

Glad I can finally vote on one of these for the month. Kicks the R&R Hall of Fame's ass.

Ha. Thanks. Baroque started this whole shebang in February, but I've been running it since April as he got too busy. Yeah, the R&R Hall of Fame pisses me off beyond belief. N.W.A. is in, but guess what? No Judas Priest or Captain Beefheart. It's ridiculous.

Graveland
Sacramentum
Ulver
Dismember
Hellhammer
Adramelch
Helstar
Liege Lord
Metal Church
Satan

Just noticed Elric voted Hellhammer. Are we shoving them in with Celtic Frost or doing them separately. If the latter, they should have been in ages ago.
