Dungeon Shaker - Demo I 
Unwound – Leaves Turn Inside You (Turned it off after 20 mins. I generally like this 'stuff', but not in the mood atm)
Darkthrone – Ravishing Grimness
Darkthrone – Plaguewielder
Darkthrone – Hate Them

Hard to pick a favourite of the 3 DTs
Maybe Plaguewielder atm
Could change tomorrow

Metallica - Master Of Puppets 10/10
Top 'tallica for me closely followed by Lightning, KEA and Justice

Blind Guardian - The God Machine 9/10
Shorn of all bells and whistles, I reckon this stands shoulder to shoulder with any of the early ones

Skeletal Remains - Fragments Of The Ageless 8/10
Best one yet from these boys trumping the likes of Morbid Angel and Hate Eternal at their own game.

Krisiun - Mortem Solis 7.5/10
Never released a bad album and this latest was no exception.

Candlesmass - House Of Doom ep 7.5/10
Soundtrack to the Candlemass mobile phone game. Apparantly.

Xentrix - Seven Words. 7.5/10
2nd album of the comeback, competent Brit thrash, never liked the artwork on this.

Smith/Kotzen s/t 7/10
Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen let loose with some bluesy hard rock, good listen

Grave Digger - Symbol Of Eternity 7/10
Most recent GD is pretty much the same as the 10th most recent.

Ereb Altor - Gastrike 8/10
                      The End 7/10
Grabbed these dirt cheap over at Hammerheart, who doesn't need more mid period Bathory worship in their lives?

Half the forum is at Judas Priest and here I am listening to that Ween album again with a rake of Helles

Failure - "Fantastic Planet"
Chapo - "Five Suns"
King Crimson - "Discipline"

I never heard discipline in full before.  Ah Jesus christ I didn't expect it to be this good. I thought Red was my favourite KC yet but this is lethal.

[Eoin McLove]

Geddes Axe- Aftermath.
Saint Vitus- Heavier Than Thou.
Motörhead- Orgasmatron.
Darkthrone- A Blaze in the Northern Sky.

Discipline is great, my favourite is Larks though, Starless and Bible Black doesn't get enough love

Striknien DC - Ghettoblast

A bunch of pro abortion cultural enriching immigration loonies but what a fucking album. I got this in 1998 and it's still my favourite punk record. Outrageous drumming throughout.

[Carnage]

I think I was at the album launch for that. Great band/album.

NP: Voivod: Phobos

[Eoin McLove]

They were a fucking force of nature love back then. I saw them a few times between 96 and 00 or 01 when they finished up. What a band.

[Caomhaoin]

The singer, 'Deko' was well known around Kilkenny. He was pals with sweeney from Easpa Measa. I wouldn't go for a pint with him but Jesus Christ that album is incredible.

[Eoin McLove]

I think he's alright. A hardcore lefty but old school.

[Caomhaoin]

Dunno, I thought he was a bit shouty. Plus me being a Nazi and all..

The other records were only alright. Ghettoblast was as close to punk perfection as it comes.

[Eoin McLove]

No man, the split album with Monkhouse is unreal. Songs from the Gash Factory is rough as a bear's hole in places but I think it's a demo collection. Horses For Courses is a little patchy by comparison but still deadly. The one that came out a few years ago, the ill fated debut, is pretty cool too but a bit rough and ready.

[Caomhaoin]

I have that split, and another 7 inch they did with Spithead. Yeah grand but I didn't think it was anything special. I think I got into metal because of Ghettoblast and a video my cousin made of super rock videos of amorphis and at the gates.

[Caomhaoin]

Who was the other crowd, steam pig? One of them had this top of a lad cycling a bike with the wheels made of shit 'nationalism...you won't get far riding that shit'.

Even though I was in the Hitler youth at the time I thought it was a great shirt.

Dogshit Sandwich. GGYFC

It's all coming back to me
