Cool track, very lacklustre choice of artwork though.

Mega haul at the record fair this weekend, extra stoked on that Saracen, been looking for a copy for a long time. All original apart from Omen which is a second copy. The Saracen, Wolf and Helloween were in a pile of jazz records this 80 year old guy was selling who said "I don't think I have any metal, sorry!" And then gave me them for half price! The vinyl gods provided 😎

Ah what an incredible first track!! Shame about the artwork but beyond excited for this now. Going to have that new track worn out by the time the album comes.

What a loss, One of the best metal guitarists ever and played on some of the best Heavy Metal ever recorded. I'm sad I never got to see him live. I had tickets to see him and Raven last year and was cancelled a few weeks out.

Valhalla the gods await me!  :abbath:

I've had this one for years and go back to it every so often as I always hear people laud it as some sort of masterpiece but I still find it so so dull and uninteresting bar a few moments here and there.

Giving it a go now

Opening 2 tracks are great  :abbath:

Not masterpiece material, but still rockin'


I turned it off

Fist 3 songs are great

4th track is more an AOR song

Next song is a bit weak

Then it just seems to lose conviction/focus, swaying too much stylistically

Then one of those sad acoustic intros to a song ... that was me done!

Not sure of the singer either. He started to annoy me  :laugh:

Haha yeah that's usually how it goes for me too. "This is better than I remember!" Then trails off and I don't finish it.

Looks great, can't wait for this, glad they seem do be talking a bit about their struggles rather that a whole glory days legacy piece. But I can't believe I was complaining about lars when Tom Morello and Scott Ian annoy me far more than he ever could! Gimps!

Cool, I've gotten really into the 2 albums the last while, will give this a spin later. Not sure about 13 and 18 minute tracks from them though.

Mortal Sin selling signed Mayhemic Destruction CD's signed by all the hired guns. Who wants a signed Mortal Sin CD, let alone signed by people who joined in 2025 🤔🤔
