Good album that Heretic, I picked up the Floga reissue a few years back when I copped it was Mike Howe's first band.

Well that's reason enough to fire up Spotify

Enjoy!

Hup, this is pretty good stuff! Nice one! 

Glued to this! Howe was a legend. RIP.

Interesting mix of tech-death and slam.

AXEGRINDER -The Rise Of The Serpent Men (1989)

[Thorn]

Venom - Welcome To Hell 9.5/10
Debut from 1981, track for track this trumps it's notorious successor of the following year.

Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales 9.5/10
Slight preference for this over Emperor's Return but what a cracking pair of EPs to kick off with.
 
Malokarpatan - Vertumnus Caesar 9/10
Latest one from these folky, progblack trailblazers, like Fenriz and King Diamond dragged Drudkh out on the lash ,superb stuff

Sarcofago -INRI 8/10
Savage Brazilian satanic thrash, gloriously neanderthal cult classic

Angel Dust - Into The Dark Past 8/10
High Roller cassette reissue with the Marching For Revenge demo tagged on making for an overdose of mustacioed and mulleted German speed thrash

Armoured Saint - Symbol Of Salvation 8/10
Standing steadfast in the midst of a diverging scene in 1991, the Saint doubled down on their hard rock and Heavy Metal ethos

Incantation - Unholy Deification 8/10
Sticking to their tried and trusted formula though a few welcome nods to their roots in Revenent here

Devourer - Diablos Brigade 7.5/10
Bestial deviltry from Singapore, this kicks ass

Therion - Secret Of the Runes 7/10
Concept based release here, much loved among Therion devotees though the operatics take a little too much centre stage for me this time

Coffins - Sinister Oath 7/10
Brand new one, it's not grabbing me like others and I think that's down to the vocals lacking a bit of clarity and definition, still, riffs aplenty.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Controversial perhaps, but personally I'd flip the scores you've given to Welcome To Hell and INRI. Cracking list of albums there though 

Currently listening:
Mastodon - Crack the Skye (instrumental version)

[Thorn]

Yeah, no problems with that at all, I could listen to them both in a month's time and do the same myself. The Venom has the advantage of teenage memories though for me

[The Wretch]

SAMURAI - Sacred Blade (1984)
