Feel free to shoot me some recommendations from each category or ones that you feel are skippable, knowing my taste. I may just avoid pwer metal altogether this time.

00:54 - flightoficarus86
I have a LOT of albums to listen to. Good timing I suppose. I am definitely dissapointed that Lord Mantis is not anywhere to be found. I thought Death Mask was awesome.

00:50 - Zaphod
That's why they supplied you with a bunch of links for each nominee.

00:49 - InnerSelf
Sunn would be so prOO00ooud [link]

00:46 - flightoficarus86
