Motörhead- 1916.

Edit. This fuckin rules!

It's an absolute corker. I'll never forget when that album came out. My aul lad bought it for me as an early birthday present. Then a few weeks later he became ill and was in hospital for about 5 weeks. I stayed with my grandparents while my Ma traveled up and down to see him, and I played that album to death all the time I was there.

I was Motorhead obsessed at the time anyway. My grandparents didn't know what to make of me, just about to become a teenager, going around with my proto-mullet and spiky wristband, drawing the warpig everywhere, and listening to what must have sounded like an absolute mental cacophony to them. They never complained though.

My grandfather would just look at me, laugh and say "Jaysus son, that's woeful".

  nice. I only got into Motörhead recently but I'm obsessed now. Back when 1916 came out (1991?) I was GNR and Metallica obsessed,  leaning more into Metallica at that point. But I have memories of having a loan of Lies and listening to it on my grandparents' little red toploading tape deck while on holidays in their place, and drumming along on these African drums they had, using wooden spoons. I'm still primitive!

Oh yeah, G'N'R and Metallica were on regular rotation at the time too!  Haven't listened to Lies in ages actually, must give it a spin again soon.

Motorhead and Sabbath were my introduction to metal, so I was always crazy into them even when I discovered heavier stuff or whatever was new at the time. 

I saw Motorhead live more than any other band, aside from maybe Maiden. I started going to Britain to see them in the early - mid 90's, usually wherever they played close to one of my relatives, and I made a point of seeing them as often as possible after that. I think that last tour is the only one I missed. Which I was raging about at the time, but now I'm kind of glad I didn't see Lemmy when he was that weak and frail.

Necrophobic - Blood Hymns

Spin this regularly,possibly my favourite by them!

Think one of their first two would be my fav.   Actually been enjoying their latest album as well.   

Managed to spend yesterday morning gardening without listening to Megaton Sword.   Think I am getting ill or something 

Darkthrone - It Beckons Us All
Metalucifer - Heavy Metal Chainsword
Manowar - Sign of the Hammer
Blazon Rite - Wild Rites and Ancient Songs

Fuck yeah, it does!
My favourite Motorhead album.
Got the tape back when it came out. Played it to absolute death. Definitely a right place, right time album for me.

I love the Ramones song. The guitar tone is killer.

I know fuck all Motorhead,bar a few 'hits'

I was the same until a few months ago. Just never bothered with them. Can't get enough now

DISSECTION - The Somberlain (1993)

[Ducky]

Suffocation - Souls to Deny. Always loved this one (especially Tomes of Acrimony) and in lieu of leafing through the booklet (fuck venturing into the attic), I like to have a gawk at the Metal Archives entry for an album. It released 20 years and one day ago. This makes me feel old as fuck.

Necrophagist - Epitaph. Probably my favourite album of the last two decades.

[Ducky]

It's just one song, but Helmet + David Yow covering Zeppelin's "Custard Pie".

Brilliant.

Glad to have heard it, but didn't dig this. Sounds like Dred Zeppelin but drunk 

I think it's the drunkenness vibe that appeals!

It has kickstarted me reversing my absolute gombeen opinion (as in, how dismissive I became of them) of Zeppelin - been really enjoying III, HotH and PG lately. And Tool's cover of "No Quarter" gets regular airings now too.

Chthe'ilist - Le Dernier Crepuscule

One of my favourite death metal albums of the last 20 years

Same as that, immense album altogether. Bonus videogame dork points for it featuring a 13+ minute song about The Legend of Zelda

That period with Bolzer, Teitanblood, Adversarial, Blood Incantation all releasing killer albums is the peak of death metal for me, of the legacy bands only MA, Deicide and Death captured me the way that 2012-2016 era caught me

Agree completely. Had some Suffering Hour, Cthe'elist, Artificial Brain, Phrenelith, and the Malthusian 2013 demo on the other evening and that time period is untouchable.

(As an aside, that Malthusian demo is probably my favourite ever Irish release - ye bunch of beauts )

DISFEAR - Soul Scars (1995)
