Ultimate Metal Hall of Fame January 2017 Inductions

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Well, now that I finally got the scheduling in the proper timeframe, we can finally hit this off in the proper month. Despite the growingly rich body of artists we've inducted, it's clear that many still remain out in the cold, so it should be intriguing to see what a new year of inductions and votes will bring. As per usual, list up to 15 artists you find worthy, that have not yet been inducted, I'll curate your votes, and the new inductees will arise. Voting ends at 12:00 AM on February 1st, so no jerking around, hop to it. Alter your votes as you please for the first few days. For a thorough catalogue of all inductees, visit the HoF Museum thread: http://ultimatemetal.com/forum/threads/ultimate-metal-hall-of-fame-museum.1026011/

Happy voting!

Kamelot may be a headscratcher for some of you, but the streak of good power metal they had from The Fourth Legacy to The Black Halo is undeniably great. It was a downright unprecedented improvement from the The Siege Perilous.

Helloween - (5 votes)
Iced Earth - (4 votes)
Diamond Head - (3 votes)
The Obsessed - (3 votes)
Symphony X - (3 votes)
Warlord - (3 votes)
Graveland - (3 votes)

 

[Vilden]

Helloween should have been voted in like 5 classes ago. Way over due.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, pretty late on that one. the most glaring omission now is suffocation imo, i know most people here aren't BDM heads but c'mon.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Helloween should have been voted in like 5 classes ago. Way over due.

I'm surprised it took so long for Diamond Head to get in.
