(the contest is valid for Full-Length albums, not for Eps, Live Albums or Singles)

2020 is slowly coming to an end. Leaving behind this somewhat “different” period and for the THIRD consecutive year, as a page we will gather the 12 most appreciated Extreme Metal albums for the year that passed (related to Extreme Metal music and especially Τhrash/Death/Black genres and their branches).
For once more, this year, this list will be created by you-the readers of THE GALLERY (always with the valuable contribution of our authors)! After reviewing 2020’s releases and deciding the 12 albums that you liked the most, you are asked to send them to us (in descending order of preference).

01. Horna – Kuoleman Kirjo (12 points)
02. Necrophobic – Dawn Of The Damned (11 points)
03. …..
04. …..
05. …..
06. …..
07. …..
08. …..
09. …..
10. …..
11. …..
12. Gaerea – Limbo (1 point)

The first album in your list will get twelve points while the last album will take one. All together will be gathered at the end, creating the top 12 albums of THE GALLERY’s readers for the year 2020!
In order to enter the draw you have to make TWO moves, to ensure integrity but also to facilitate us in the final harvest of points. So:

A. AT THE PAGE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, below this text (in the comments field) you shall put your chosen 12 albums using your name as a “username” and also giving an e-mail.

B. The second stage is related to the harvesting and clearing of the scores. Go to the Google link HERE, and put your 12 favorite albums for 2020. You will need to enter your email, your name and your name on Facebook.

Last deadline for anyone interested in sending the list is December 31st, until the change of the year. The draw will take place in the New Year, after we reach the final results.

Incomplete lists (with less than 12 albums) will not be counted in the final result and will not participate in the draw. Also lists with bands from other Metal branches (except the ones we ask for), will not be counted in the competition.
