Carcass - Torn Arteries
Annihilator - Alice in Hell / For the demented
Vomitron - NESessary evil / No NES for the wicked
Estradasphere - all of it
Dropped into a Nintendo metal hole there and had a ball

The feedback leading into Like Rats, sets up what's coming perfectly.
2 beauties right there!
Find it hard to top what has already been mentioned
Mmmmmm ....
Metallica: Whiplash!
Got sidetracked by...
Divine Chaos - The Way to Oblivion. Decent modern-sounding unga-bunga death/thrash to sup a few beers to. Reminiscent of "Existence is Futile"-era Revocation.
Cruciamentum - Obsidian Refractions. Whopper, love it. You know that Douglas Adams book, "The Meaning of Lif"? The one that reappropriates place names as common feelings/occurrences that we all know but don't have a handy word for? I wonder is there a term in there for when a band releases an album that has a song that is named for the previous album? Hmm.
Heart - The Road Home. Ann Wilson has an unreal set of pipes.

Black Celebration is just fantastic all the way through
Yep, peak Depeche Mode to my lugs.
The run from Black Celebration to Songs of Faith and Devotion is a whopper.
I'd go one farther back and throw Some Great Reward in there too but they fell off a bit after Songs of Faith and Devotion for sure. A couple of very good ones after that, Playing the Angel and Memento Mori are great but the rest is OK to terrible. Have you tried Some Great Reward at all? It's right up there
Yeah that's fair, Some Great Reward is a whopper too.
I haven't actually given Momento Mori a fair shake yet, might remedy that later.
I went into Memento Mori with zero expectations given what had come before it from them. I was more than pleasantly surprised when it was actually good. Honestly didn't think they had it in them at this stage of the career.
Will be throwing it on myself this evening now after thinking about it
I got sidetracked but have it saved on Spotify (how impersonal, but sure look(, so will give it a cursory go at least while in in Lidl tomorrow.
Scald- Will of the Gods is Great Power.
What an album. It's just one epic song after another, Jesus. A Tumulus must be near the top, though. Ridiculous, hair raising power.
Candlemass- Death Magic Doom.
I got this when it came out and listened to it once or twice but it didn't grip me. Sounds like it's off to a good start today so maybe its time has come.
Edit. Yep, this rules.
Decomposed- The Funeral Obsession.
Evilfeast- Wintermoon Enchantment.

Nursing home costs are crippling for families. This is well known.
Grandad starting to go on the blink?
Get him to commit a serious crime while he still can.
Problem solved at no cost to his family.

When he started to do Telly Bingo as himself instead of Shirley it just felt wrong. I had got used to Shirley doing the ould bingo.
The lad himself does come across well in any interview I've heard.

Some of these days I'm going to have to stop watching music vids , the older I get the more I'm fucking cringing at them. Just play the song on stage, that'll do for a vid lads.
The track itself is ok, heard much, much better from Bruce.
