Do any of y'all submit your top 10 metal things of the year to the Metal Archives for their poll? I haven't before, but now that I have an account there, I'm gonna do it this year. I guess as long as you have an account there before December 2, and it can be LPs, EPs, or splits even as long as they were released this year and were new material.. the rules are on this forum thread along with discussion, and you'd submit a DM there to the poster of the thread.
