Now Playing

[The Wretch]

Overkill - The Years of Decay (I Hate is such a good song).

So snotty. Also, Bobby Gustafson is on fire on that album. Immense riffs, and great guitar tone. It really set the standard for their later work IMO. It's a shame he was gone after that. They've had some great lead players since to be fair, but he had that X Factor I think, and there was great musical chemistry there, even if they weren't necessarily always on good terms personally.

Such a shame he never got anything off the ground after that. But then, even if you do come up with decent riffs, it's hard to get traction with pretty average players/vocalists and names like 'Satan's Taint'.

I thought he might make a proper go of it with Vio-Lence, but nah.

Pestilence - Testimony Of The Ancients

What a great time. Felt like there was classic album released every week !

A top 10 all time DM album for me!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Decent day of listening in work today, worshipping satan on the man's dime 
 
Morbid Angel - Altars

Bleeding the man for the devil?   

[The Wretch]

METAL CHURCH - Metal Church
METAL CHURCH - The Dark
REVEREND - World Won't Miss You
REVEREND - Play God

[Mr Barlow]

Tailgunner - Guns for Hire (really good straight up Heavy Metal from last year... If I had of remembered it was from 2023 it would have made my top 5... Probably!)

Good to know. Been eyeing this up.

[Bürggermeister]

Saw them at Keep It True, very decent for that 80's style, notably better than much of the other similar bands.

[Mr Barlow]

Kamelot - The Black Halo

[astfgyl]

Godflesh - Hymns. I love this sort of bridge between the 'Flesh and Jesu. I think it's one of the least popular albums they have but I dunno I just love it

[Carnage]

I love it, it flows nicely with the live drums. A bit frontloaded and long maybe, but it's decent.

[Eoin McLove]

Beneath the Remains on repeat at the minute.

[The Wretch]

ANTHRAX - Spreading The Disease
S.O.D. - Speak English Or Die

[astfgyl]

I love it, it flows nicely with the live drums. A bit frontloaded and long maybe, but it's decent.

Oul Ted Parsons was a great addition there, love his drumming on it as well

He was great with Overkill but never really followed anything else he did.  Though I loved the two guys on Horrorscope as well (embarrassingly I can only remember Merritt Grants' name, and I am doubting myself if that is even right - Rob someone perhaps). I am shit with names.

 
Kontact - Full Contact (more Dying Victims, really interesting thrash release with a proggy sci-fi feel.  I really like it.  If I was Thorn I would give it a 8/10).

Darkthrone - It Beckons Us All (probably my most played album this year.  So many cool riffs). 

Trouble - Psalm 9 (the fact that I ended up wearing a Psalm 9 T-shirt and hoody today was a message from the metal gods to put this on - those items of clothing regularly end up in the PlasticHead sale).

The Wizards - The Exit Garden (possibly my favourite release so far this year).

Reversed - Wildyly Possessed (another decent release from Invictus).

Pantera - Cowboys from Hell (as there has been so much chat about them recently, thought I would revisit a few of their albums - they are a band I've never really clicked with.  Plenty of great songs, but they don't have any great albums - probably one for the controversial opinion thread).

I'm very wordy this morning...

[Eoin McLove]

Machine Head- Bum My Ears.
Gjendød- I utakt med verden.
Darkthrone- Soulside Journey.
