Hey, if you think we can get at least four or five people in on drone then by all means I'll extend it, but I'm dubious about how many people have even listened to much drone let alone give a **** about voting in a drone battle. At least power metal is a more universally known genre.

Black One is already in the avant garde metal battle.

And I find that odd. Granted, I don't listen to all that much drone metal, but Monoliths & Dimensions sounds like drone personified, whereas Black One seems far more experimental.

I see where you're coming from, but I think that Black One incorporates both the drone and metal elements. That's not to say that M&D doesn't, it's just that Black One does it more so. I guess I'm mainly talking about Alice, because that's straight drone and I don't hear any metal elements really. They're fine in the categories they're in now, forgot that Black One was in another category.
