GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2011

[CiG]

5th) TIME IS UP by HAVOK


Genre: Thrash Metal

"Far and away it is the best album of the year in my opinion." - @zerostatic

"Yea, nothing special about Havok ... their first album was a crapfest, Time Is Up is a pretty solid outing, and I didn't like their last album much either. There are tons of better "young" thrash metal bands out there." - @TechnicalBarbarity

Voted for by:
@zerostatic (1st place)
@Baroque (2nd place)
@-CC- (7th place)

TOTAL POINTS: 23

TOTAL POINTS: 24

3rd) the ETERNAL BATTLE by DOOMSWORD


Genre: Epic Heavy / Doom Metal

"For my money, the first and only success of the NWOTHM movement to produce an album that slots right into the canon of arcane heavy metal alongside stuff like Crystal Logic, Irae Melanox and King of the Dead." - @Vegard Pompey

Voted for by:
@Vegard Pompey (1st place)
@Somethingface (2nd place)
@no country for old wainds (5th place)

TOTAL POINTS: 25

2nd) OUTER ISOLATION by VEKTOR


Genre: Progressive Thrash Metal

"I find myself enjoying Black Future a little more for some reason, but Outer Isolation is definitely a more progressive and stylistically consistent album. Both are of course great." - @HamburgerBoy

Voted for by:
@Baroque (1st place)
@Terasophe (2nd place)
@zerostatic (3rd place)
@Somethingface (7th place)

1st) TOWARDS the MEGALITH by DISMA


Genre: Doom / Death Metal

"We are going downhill fast with the media multi-cultural cesspool that is being subjected to every decent White person that turns on the "Electric Jew"!!!!! As long as "WE" keep getting force-fed this shit, and not do something about it, the faster "WE" DIE!!!!" - @Craig Pillard

[Vegard Pompey]

"(Where Greater Men Have Fallen is a) great bounce back album after the weak Redemption at the Puritan's Hand." - @Anom@nder Rake

lol @ this being the most relevant quote you could find for this album

 

[CiG]

Yeah this year was pretty scant for good quotes.

 

[challenge_everything]

I don't get the love for Redemption at the Puritan's Hand either. It falls off a cliff after the first few tracks.

 

[CiG]

You think so? The title track is among my favourites from the album and I think the final track is the best one on there.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

It's a pretty good album, shoulda put it at 10 but I forgot

 

[CiG]

It's my fault for not giving you another 2 weeks to remember.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]
