Default Death Metal Album Club
**** it, we need more metal participation on this site and with as many album club type things I say it makes sense to have something more focused (there was already a Heavy Metal Album Club and it got 39 responses so we're focusing more). One album a week just to keep this thing moving a guess. Two weeks has been in my experience more conducive to people who have tight schedules, but it also shoots participation in the foot cause people stop caring.

How to pick albums? I guess I could just pick them and **** the haters. We could also do it by country so that every week I pick three countries or something and then the first *x number* of people to vote decide which country we pick a death metal band from (f.ex. Sweden = Unleashed, Poland = Vader, England = Carcass) and I guess I'll pick the album or something. Or, you know, something else.

Honestly I just want to get this thing off the ground quickly and not dither for a week until everyone just assumes that nothing is happening and ****s off. Suggestions for how to do this are welcome, but if we're not ready to move in 2 or 3 days then I'm just invoking tyrannical OP emergency powers and moving forward regardless.

So how obscure are you looking for? Obviously it would be silly to do Tomb of the Mutilated, at least not early on, but a mix of obscure, somewhat obscure, and recognizable would be great I guess. Maybe institute something like after a round the first three or five people to rec an album get those albums casually voted on by community interest?

I'm basically looking for a way to choose albums that keeps things interesting while also moving along with minimal delay. So I guess something simple would probably be better. TBH I'll jump at the first good idea that isn't clicking on the random button on RYM. Let's get this **** going.

Bitch they're all fascinating. You just need to listen to every death metal album before you're allowed to have an opinion.

I'm honestly curious if you would have any suggestion on how to choose albums to do. Somewhat for laughs, but you also do this **** entirely too often so I figure you've at least got experience to make your opinion possibly worth hearing.

Now that's straight up ignorant.

If we get enough people (four or more), we should do the old school method of people submitting albums and we all vote for which one we do.
