Just listened to Risk all the way through for the first time ever. It's at least as bad as I remember... once again 🤣 I will now wash my ears out with Rust In Peace

[Eoin McLove]

A song and a bit of Risk was enough. Pretty bad. It sounds like Dave was trying to jump on the nu- metal/ alt- metal/ industrial bandwagon of the late 90s. It doesn't sound at all like Megadeth to me.

[The Wretch]

The best/most Megadeth sounding thing on Risk is 'Time The Beginning/Time The End'. And that wouldn't even make a quality b-side.   

N.P. -

SAMMY HAGAR - Street Machine
SAMMY HAGAR - Danger Zone
SAMMY HAGAR - Standing Hampton
SAMMY HAGAR - Three Lock Box

Some crackin' punchy hard rock tracks on these albums, but none of them is a bona-fide classic IMO. Might do up a playlist of the better tunes as a nice companion piece to the first two Montrose.

Couldn't be bothered with his later albums, or Chickenfoot, or even most of the Van Hagar stuff, even though I'm a huge fan of EVH.

[Anvil]

MegatonSword - Blood Hails Steel...
MegatonSword - Might & Power
Riot - ThunderSteel
Dark Tranquility - Haven

Yup.  I did a lot of gardening today.

Apparition (US) - Disgraced Emanations from a Tranquil State

Seriously great stuff. I genuinely can't fathom how people are not talking about this band more, given they're head an shoulders above 90% of the US death metal crop. As dark, heavy and innovative a death metal record you could ask for, I dunno if it's just their lack of public presence (I haven't seen many interviews with them, they don't push themselves on social media/forums much), the fact they aren't generic/retro/instant enough for current tastes or what, but this album is a hidden gem. Particularly given a lot of their countrymen have recieved far more attention for considerably less imaginative music at the moment. Substantial stuff without any pretense. No trend, no mosh, no fun (edit:, turns out they broke up.and apparently had connection to the awful bag of shite that is Nails -which might explain why they were ignored-and the considerably better Despise You)

Edit: I mean it's very  good

The Apparition album is good and def better than a lot of its counterparts but I'm rarely arsed putting it on and it's not even out long. I think it's missing something.

High on Fire- Cometh the Storm. Some real belters on this.

Really loving the new Adorior track, Melissa/Jaded Lungs' vocals are just so fucking good. Looking forward to the album, nearly 20 years since Author of Incest 

[open face surgery]

The album is fuckin incredible. Writing, playing and production are 10/10. Can't seeing it being bested for my AOTY.

I've never heard of this band before.
So out of curiosity I read a review of the album you mentioned,  it references Darkness Descends.  I love that album,  so I 'll have to check this  band out.

Chris Poland - Return to Metalopolis & Chasing the Sun

Much as I love Marty, Tommy Vetterli and Vernon Reid, Poland is fucking top dog in Guitartown. Jesus he's so fucking good.

It's a fuckin beast of an album. Melissa and Dani are the only 2 from that album on the new one. Tomasz went on to start Lvcifyre after it.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Must go check out that new track, deadly 

Edit: Quality. Sounds very much like a straight follow-up to Author of Incest.
