Ah..hell. Another legend gone. RIP Mike.

Nasty 

Avoid Three Pines too. Unless you want to get a feel for the kind of pap you'll have on in the dayroom of your future nursing home.

He definitely played Pro-Pain a lot 

Ok so I wasn't imagining it then, I mean I can't remember where I put my keys sometimes but I remember stupid stuff like that 

Yep, mid period Gorefest as well when they were rocking out a bit more, if memory serves.

Noted. I was considering starting that Night Manager just last night before plumping for Three Pines instead!

Surreal,.that's the word ,eluded me last night.

Looking forward to it

I bought the DVD of that A Field In England blind, after I watched it I remember thinking this is one for having on in the background after the pub. Back when I went to pubs. And came home with all sorts.

Ugh. there goes the cornflakes.

Black Bear. No idea what it was all about but Aubrey Plaza was superb.

I'd imagine the wearing of a corset is one of the no-no's when trying to improve one's vocal techniques.

You've never forgiven Liv Kristine for her part in Alex Krull ruining Atrocity, have you? 

Damn right. It all went to pot after that. Feckin' Liv Kristine

Evoken  - Hypnagogia 8.5/10
Concept album from 2018 ,lush lugubrious landscapes that work wonders for dozing off. Probably not what they intended.

For Ruin - Painted In The Colours Of War 8/10
Really enjoying this one, no sign of it at Invictus yet lads?

Transylvania - Magma Posthuma 7.5/10
The return of the Austrian  occult black thrash fiends on Invictus this year unleashing an impressive arsenal of snarling riffs, not sure if this betters Of Sleep And Death but kept it's certainly just as volatile.

Master - Vindictive Miscreant 7/10
One from the ultra exclusive club of Death Metal albums with incongruous blue sky cover arts. Not one of his best but one thing you always get from Speckmann is conviction and sincerity.

Winterfylleth -The Unyielding Season 6.5/10
Damn. I'd finally started to warm to Winterfylleth over the past two records but fuck me I'm finding the vocals on this one a struggle, this monotone, nondescript rasp just handicaps these otherwise massive sounding tracks for me. Shame.

Gojira - The Link 6/10
Picked this up to complete the discography and had the speakers shuddering with these thick, jarring bottom heavy riffs but ultimately a bit disjointed overall and not everything here works for me.
