Metal Month III is coming!
Yeah, it's six months away I know, but once I finish with Star Trek Month next week I'm beginning research for the third instalment of my annual focus on all things Metal. And as usual, I invite you to contribute. As ever, anyone with ideas is welcome to talk to me, though over two years of this so far I've had I think two contributions. Members' Top Tens: I already have some left over from last year, but am happy to take more so, if you want to submit a list, the short rules are: only one from each band or artiste, no discographies and nothing that says "Oh anything by X". Any such will be ignored. If you can, please check the ones I already featured in last year's Metal Month II, because if you're in the ones picked but have duplicated albums I may ditch your top ten to go with someone else who has new albums. The whole idea is not only to get a feel for your own top Metal albums, but also to listen to music I have not yet heard. Submit all top tens here. Also, make sure it IS a full top ten, as otherwise you won't be considered. Recommended albums: Last year this was a great success, so again give me suggestions for albums you think I should listen to, and again, check the ones already submitted and listened to. Also, I intend to tackle as much as I can of the "1001 Metal Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". Just so you know. Finally, my focus last year was on Viking Metal; this year I intend to look into Funeral Doom, so anyone with suggestions along those lines let me know. See you all in October! In red: obviously not doing this, now that I have a journal dedicated to same...

I would highly recommend you do with Sigh's main discography as you did with Slayer's last Metal Month, in reviewing all their albums. Since you liked Imaginary Sonicscape quite a bit during Metal Month II, I thought Sigh would be an even better band to review the main discography of, since they have a lot more variety than Slayer. I'm guessing your opinions of their albums will vary as well, and it'll be surprising for you to hear, and the viewers of your reviews to see what you thought of each curve-ball Sigh throw at you throughout their discography.
On top of their main albums, while Ghastly Funeral Theatre technically is an EP, not an LP, I believe it should be included with their LPs in your review of their discography if you so choose to take on the task of reviewing their discography. So it'd be Scorn Defeat Infidel Art Ghastly Funeral Theatre Hail Horror Hail Scenario IV: Dread Dreams Imaginary Sonicscape (If you so choose to re-review it) Gallows Gallery Hangman's Hymn Scenes From Hell In Somniphobia Graveward (It's scheduled to release in April, so it should be review-able by October) |

No grindcore this year. Too boring. We already know he hates it. I'm just baffled that he wasn't freaked out by Gnaw Their Tongues. Apparently atmospheric weirdness can't be counted upon.

I already suggested that album quite a few times in MMII.

There were only four spots. Couldn't use everything.
