AOTY Results [Results] Melodic Death Metal Album of the Year 2025
162
Upvotes
Greetings everyone! Now that we are back, we decided to also make a more elaborated presentation of the voting results for the melodeath aoty 2025.
The results were evaluated via a ranked choice system, i.e. the best kind of vote :3 ....but we have also evaluated how the ranking would've looked like if we did vote differently: (A) the system we used the past years with everyone voting for 3 albums, (B) a weighed system similar to the ESC using all your 10 choices, and (C) a simple strawpoll where everyone would just vote for 1 album.
The voting was held across different platforms: reddit, discord and lemmy, but the results presented here on the first picture are the results from the reddit votes only. You can scroll through the pictures to find also information how the other platform users voted though.
Cheers

Discussion One of my favorite death metal albums of all-time (Dark Tranquility - Fiction). A 10/10 masterpiece in my opinion, every song is fantastic. I could listen to this album on repeat infinitely.

Discussion What's an album you've loved for years that nobody seems to know about? [As Night Conquers Day by Autumn Leaves]
9
Upvotes
Artist: Autumn Leaves
Album: As Night Conquers Day (1999)
I've been listening to this album since probably the early 2000s (I believe I was 14 at the time of discovery), and it's still one of my favorite melodeath albums to this day. I would say 99% of the buddies I've played it for over the years haven't heard of the band or this album. It's one of those records that seems to have been largely forgotten, which is a shame because I think it's an absolute gem.... even after all these years, it still hits the same way it did when I first heard it.
It got me thinking about all the great bands that never really got their due from the melodeath genre. So, what's a lesser-known band or a one album wonder that you think deserved a much bigger audience? I'm always looking for hidden classics that other people have kept to themselves over the years.
P.S. Please check it out, this album deserves a listen through at least once. Favorite song off this album is Another Day, Another Demon... it has such an epic sound to it.

I was so sad when I discovered Finnish melodic death metal that every band is either abandond or someone died. Now next year COB will tour, norther will have a reunion and ensiferum just announced (while petri will tour with norther) that they will go on tour with jari (wintersun) and only play the old songs. This is going to be soooo cool!

Bands that just have a lot of stuff going on musically, with a multitude of instruments backed up by choirs and orchestral sections and people fighting and dogs barking and sirens wailing. Just an absolute cacophony of noise that after multiple listens you're still catching new parts buried within.
