Digerdoden- Genom dödens svarta törst

Type O Negative - World Coming Down
Ihsahn - Arktis
Marillion - Fugazi

New Vemod album sounds good:

This is the sort of thing that comes to mind when I hear the phrase 'atmospheric black metal'.

Warning: May Contain Dad Rock

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies 9/10
Picking up a lot of Alice that I had as a kid, this being the pick of them.

Alice Cooper - Muscle of Love 8/10
Yes, the title comes from a young lad finding his ol' mans special mags but this was another very good yet largely forgotten effort.

Alice Cooper - Welcome To My Nightmare 8/10
Vince Furnier goes solo for the first time and produces this conceptual rock n roll extravaganza

Vektor - Black Future 8/10
I know plenty would rate this even higher but I kinda wish they'd pick a style and stick with it.When you're getting Coroner, Voivod, Prometheus era Emperor with Schmier from Destruction over the top sometimes I'm thinking,ok, calm the fuck down lads. A very good album no doubt, but I wouldn't be as big a fan as some.

Alice Cooper - Goes To Hell 7.5/10
Second part of the Steven concept. Not So Fun Fact: Alice and his wife are so keen on never being parted that they've signed a Death Pact.

Tiamat - Sumerian Cry 7.5/10
Primitive and arcane Swedish DM holds the distinction of being the first album I ever sent away for. Supernal Records I think it was.

Deceased - Surreal Overdose 7.5/10
Deceased rule but I think they overegged the pot on this one and the tracks tend to blur into one another. My least favourite by the band but it's still a manic, heads down banger.

Wolf- Devil Seed 7/10
Seventh album by these classic trad Metallers offers more of the same and that's fine by me

Gallower - Eastern Witchcraft 6/10
Pedal to the metal blackthrash ep out on the prolific Dying Victims Records

Septagon - We Only Die Once 6/10
Catchy, melodic German thrash(lite) with Markus Becker from Atlantean Kodex on mic duties

Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Vulcano- Bloody Vengeance. Really digging this. It amuses me that the album is produced by the bassist which would indicate that he was the real muso in the band but the one instrument completely all over the gaff on the album time wise is the bass :laugh: A shortsharpshock of violent first wave BM evil. It makes me want to finally pick up a vinyl copy of INRI.

Funerary Pit- The Titan Sea. Marauder gave me a test press of this the other day so finally giving it a spin. Death metal it is but you can hear that Gospel riff style in the mix.

Laddio Bolocko - "97-99".

This popped up on an FB group I follow for new music (Noise Rock Now) and the description the lad posted caught me enough to check it out: "Noise rock, no wave, post rock, krautrock. Heavy, pummeling, meditative. Unrestrained by genre or form." I got a good few tracks in and will finish it today because that pretty accurately summed up the bits I heard of it.  Never heard of them before nor do I know absolutely anything about them.  Full album on YouTube

Remembering ordering from him back in the day.  Probably how I first heard of Drudhk and Hate Forest.

Amazing band, kicking myself for missing them when they played here way back when. You'll need to check out The Psychic Paramount too, pretty sure it's the same guitarist

Disparaitre - Urchig

Entombed - Left Hand Path

Great stuff,despite the shitty guitar sound. Hated it then and hate it now.
