Nebulas’ “Canaria” tied up with OLDCODEX’ “Deal with” with a total of 60 votes, representing 9,48% of the total votes. Alphabetically (either by group name or release title) Nebulas’ “Canaria” qualifies for the final round.
Due to the lack of releases of this nature during the second half of the year (not counting with December releases), these albums qualified for the final round.
