Metal Storm Awards 2009 - Now Open For Voting!


The 6th annual Metal Storm Awards are here, and they need your votes! To make your life easier we picked a selection of nominees for most categories, though in some (like The Biggest Surprise/Letdown) the decision is traditionally entirely up to you. Still, if your favorite album of the year is not included, please don't trash your monitor or send us hatemail - in each category you can add a write-in vote (on second thought, hatemail is our favorite form of entertainment, so it's OK too). And feel free to use this thread for discussion.

The voting will be wrapped on the 28th of February, with results posted the next day.

This Deadmeat guy, is he the manager of Kreator or something looking for some free publicity for the band?

Sand and Vagina springs to mind.

no mister "i dont talk to someone, i just mention him". i am just a fan of them but most of all of music. i'v never again said about something i believed MS did wrong but this one is ridiculus. most of the nominated albums are shitty comparing them to the kreator one.

Uhh, I don't see irony in either of our posts...

It's just as possible for a write-in vote to win as it is for a nominated release. Each of them gets one point per person's vote. Well you'll have to wait another 27-odd days to find out won't you!

You say " i didn't see a single review with a higher than 8 rating" like all the other nominees have poor review ratings. Artillery and Slayer are the only nominees that actually have reviews for them! I don't see how your argument is all that valid

@The Shape 1973: I think you could be right there

you dont need to explain me how they can win. it is obvious. let's stop arguing now. MS decided something that the users didnt and thats all. and surely GAMA BOMB, PROFANE OMEN AND SAVAGE MESSIAH ARE BETTER THAN kreator...

Hello Mr Deadmeat, how are you today, a bit upset by the sound of it, by the way I believe that Mob Rules, Radical Peace is the best power metal album of 2009, didn't even get a mention, if I want to vote for it I will use the write in vote, please calm down life is too short, you'll have a heart attack.

sorry Mr Shape 1973 i didnt mean to offend you. by the way, i dont know if you know it but although your band may be quallitative a lot surely they are a bit unknown and maybe that's the problem when kreator are not and this album has been a lot discussed in 2009.

What? So if you thought Gama Bomb, Profane Omen and Savage Messiah were better than Kreator, then why didn't you vote for one of those?

@The Shape 1973: Yeah I liked Mob Rules too. Oh well though, the nominees list would be completely different for every staff member if it was only up to just one of us haha.

but i have to say this one thing i have on my mind: NOW AFTER THAT, SLAYER WILL WIN THE THRASH CATEGORY. BUT YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU'VE LET KREATOR IN, SLAYER WOULDN'T. come on it's obvious.

i am not attacking to anyone personaly but to this whole thing that happened.

Clearly, Slayer will run away with the Thrash title...

count me as one of those nonplussed by the new Kreator.

every year some big band releases an album people absolutely fawn over that some of us staffers think is just "meh."

some bands sneak in, others don't. your pissed Kreator didn't make it. I would have liked to have seen Cobalt make the cut in the Black category. shit happens. get over it.

and fwiw, i won't be voting for Slayer, Kreator, or Megadave. the Thrash category is a lot like Black, Doom, and pretty much any other category in the awards. The big names are big names, and so even a mediocre release from them will score more votes than a better album released by a lesser known artist.

the real winners in the MS Awards are the lesser known bands that get to compete on the same playing field as the big boys - and the metal fans who discover them as a result.

i didnt ask anyone to vote for kreator. i just said that they DESERVE with their new album to be in the top 10. in the nomination list.

i also love it when an unknown band gets over the "big names" but Hordes Of Chaos is an excellent album. it's not only my opinion. as i said, ms users, reviews etc have proven that.

and NO man. my pissed KREATOR did do it. you can see it from the users, you can see it in the forums, you can see it everywhere. EVEN IF YOU STAFFERS LIKE IT OR NOT Kreator is the only of the "Old Bands" (metallica, slayer etc...) that ended the last decade only with good albums. with consistence and quallity. so please dont tell me about my "pissed kreator" cause they are the only one's that are really alive...

And the MS staff and elites DIDN'T think it deserved a place amongst the 10 nominees. We deemed all 10 nominated albums better than Kreator's latest offering

That is your opinion. In my opinion Slayer's worst albums are still vastly superior to Kreator's best.
Just live with the fact there is no such thing as objectivity concerning quality in music.

whether or not Kreator deserves to be in the Top 10 is completely dependent upon the individual listeners.

i really don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut what the MS community rates anything. that might sound cynical, but it's true. i've lost count of the number of times i've seen an album get a great review, get scored an 8 (very good), and the reviewer get ripped for low marks. it's clear many in our community lack objectivity in voting, or the ability to discern good from very good from truly great.

but let's see some more frothing in all caps.

as has been said before, the bitching is the best part of the awards. unhinged posters like you make all the time and effort that go into the awards worth it.

Yes and also compared to Flag Of Hate.
Kreator is the least worse of the German thrash scene imo and still shouldn't allowed to tie Slayer's shoelaces. Besides European Power Metal the German Thrash Scene is the most overrated IMO.
It is all about opinions. You are a big Kreator fan, good for you. I am not, good for me. Simple as that.
And the ten nominees were voted on by ALL THE STAFF AND ELITES and not just one or two, or else Megadeth also wouldn't have made it.

like u said something. i dont remember even one time in those 2, i think, years i am on MS, bitching about something. this is not about bitching man. this is about degrading a great album from a great band - somthing that as i said can be seen in the ratings, the reviews etc. man this album has 380 votes and a 8,4 rating and some others nominated, such as Dead Head have 3 votes. you mean that all you staffers listened to both albums and hated kreators and love or at least found better this one??? or slayers??? oh my god...

i guess that what you said would find most thash metal fans arguing. i like slayer. i like kreator. and although i dont like that much exodus for example i respect them for some things. saying kreator are overatted is something totally wrong. they helped a lot in the pioneering of death metal and played a great role in thrash too.

also, even slayer fans need after 20 years without a great release their fav band to release something good. when kreator is on the top ATM. you cannot oversee those things.

it is bitching. nothing but bitching. whether or not it is a great album is up to the listener. you think so. others do not.

it didn't crack the Terrorizer staff's top 40 either. i'd say this conspiracy of yours is far reaching, but they didn't include Slayer either...

you cite ratings to me as if i should care... perhaps you should re-read my previous statement. something something about fornicating a pastry.

so please continue bitching, though, it's making my monday morning enjoyable.

@Deadmeat, I'm afraid I can't help you better understand the nomination process better than any of the staff members here, otherwise I'd love to give you a more thorough explanation. I'll look into it though; perhaps luck will strike me and I'll discover some divine means of communication that only you and I will be able to fully comprehend.

About Slayer, it is not a great album but enjoyable nonetheless if you ask me... World Painted Blood came in number 1 in the writer's end of year list (to 16 that is) of Aardschok Magazine (the world's longest running proper metal magazine) with Megadeth at number 5 and Kreator not even in the top 16. And Kreator did get a good review in Aardschok. Before you say they know nothign about thrash, Aardchok were the first magazine in ther world to write comprehensively on thrash in the early 80s, they were the first to review demos by Metallica, Exodus, etc etc.

Metal Magazines actually get more advertisement money from Kreator's record label SPV than from Slayer's American Recordings cause SPV is a solely metal label and American Recordings only has a very tiny part metal. And if money was the case with the end of year lists Megadeth and Dream theater would have come out on top and The Devil's Blood wouldn't have been in the top 16.
Saying this stuff about money clearly shows you have no idea how it all really works.

I've seen Lamb of God written in for a bunch of categories, are all the votes in different categories put into the proper one and added up or did those guys just waste their votes? Or is Lamb of God, and other bands that are written in multiple categories just contending in multiple categories? Just wondering.
