Undersmile certainly are extreme doom and a lot more at that than most of the nominees in that category.

Why didn't you make any noise about them being nom'd in regular doom then, Boss Man?

Thank God we put Shape Of Despair in regular doom. Okay, they play funeral doom but such a light version of it that it isn't extreme at all.

That bait looks so tasty.

I've never really quite understood the "extreme" definitions of the forum categories tbh. Funeral doom comes under extreme, yet funeral doom can be some of the fluffiest sounding music around, or some of the most crushing and unpalatable. Thrash to me is also so basic and conventional that I have trouble thinking of it as extreme either, these days anyway. The awards to me usually shook things up when it comes to "extreme" stuff though. I think it's best to take bands on their merits as only a few make it.

Fuck, I just realized that I might end up eating my words about Ambient/Drone having no easy winner because there aren't any big names in it... totally forgot about Midnight Odyssey. God fucking damnit. I hate you all. Everything sucks.

There is always those people complaining about wrong categories...

Don't forget the staff has to find exactly 10 good albums for each category, and each of the 10 nominees can not be nominated on each other of the categories.
Now pick the albums you listened and try arranging them in that way on an accurate manner for all the categories =)

I dont see DIS/GTT to be a "totally" death metal album. Definitely not an obvious choice at all if you ask me with all the different elements of death, black, sludge, doom, noise going on.
Unfortunately we dont have a "pitch black crazy shit" category othewrwise it would be dumped there but in the end I'm sattisfied with the consensus.
As for Hatred For Mankind, that would be blackened sludge for me.

we spend hours squabbling over what goes where, and whatever we come up with gets dissected and argued about again here.

Good, I think if one thing's true people here like a good "argument" about genres. Nothing to be sensitive about.

When it's done well... a good genre discussion makes me imagine us all wearing fine ass suits and hats and going all fancy while talking just loud enough for us to hear and no more.
Like this.

My cat eats out of a metal bowl. Where is the Cat Metal Award? The staff have no idea how to run a metal site! They spend all that time discussing who they are going to piss off...Ok, about 10 seconds writing down the name Bad English, the rest not talking about Cat Metal. I want my Meowcore now! My Extreme Black Cat, where is that?

It was considered a Black metal album. It came close but no cigar.

Shame nobody had Sea Witch's back. I think their album would have truly been for anyone even vaguely into doom.
