Now Playing

[astfgyl]

Akercocke have some great material,they were lauded by Metal hammer a bit in the early 2000s.And for some reason a pile of lsds in the underground decided they were shite.They blew the socks of me when they played Cork years ago.

Was at that meself in the Cruiscin. Great gig. With a lad you know as it happens

[Eoin McLove]

I have Goat of Mendes by Akercocke and never liked it. Shit thin production, chaotic music with an absence of black metal atmosphere. Just never grabbed me. Anything I heard after left me cold as well.

[Pentagrimes]

I can't think of Ackercoke without thinking of the picture in the inside of one of the cds which caused my ex wife to remark "look at them there now, in their little Heavy Metal community centre" 

Always struck me as more death metal than black metal

[Bürggermeister]

Had to drive to Dublin and back last night, had Death on for the duration, starting with Leprosy and moving in order from there. Lovely.

This morning, Technical Ecstacy.

I've had Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic & The Sound of Perseverance on over the course of the last 24 hours. That run of albums really is untouchable stuff.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I never tire of listening to the entire arc of Death's discography, one of the finest musical evolutions of all time.

[open face surgery]

Vircolac - Veneration
JP - Stained Class
Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
Manilla Road - Open The Gates

I think I know the picture and all.    Definitely more DM but Words... is all over the map.

[OpenSores]

Zeni Geva - Desire for Agony (doing a clear out and came across this beauty)
Spectral Voice - Sparagmos

[hellfire]

Vircolac - Veneration

Like an idiot I didn't ask Darragh if he had a copy when I was standing in front of him.

[Skott Furys jizz rag]

Vircolac - Veneration
JP - Stained Class
Manilla Road - Crystal Logic
Manilla Road - Open The Gates

I have never understood the appeal of Manilla Road, possibly the worst vocals I've ever heard

[Necrohag]

Vargrav  - the nighthold.

Only released but pure late 90s BM worship. Its beyond homage for sure but its done straight and never once drifts into sneery know it all territory. And that makes the great photos, bombastic instrumentation and pompous spoken word passages all the more enjoyable. Fine release.

I had no idea they released a third album so threw it on during my daily stroll there. Enjoyed it much more than the previous ones, some class riffs and epic as hell keys on display. It's pure Emperor worship but not in a bad way.

Finally got around to listening to Kerry King's new single too. Uninspired, generic shite as expected with Mark Osegueda's vocals the only saving grace.

Idle Hands indeed.

Ditto, awful band. See also: Cirith Ungol. I always lump them in together, similar styles of cover art maybe. Can't abide either band anyway.
