Ravensire - We March Forward , think I heard about this band on MI forum? So eone was championing them

Not heard that one yet but have a couple of their releases.  Might have been the old forum I heard about them or I just picked them up because they were on Cruz Del Suz. Think they are good, but have just never got round to picking up the rest of their back catalogue (like so many other bands)

Bathory - Nordland II 9/10
Somehow I've managed to get to middle age without ever hearing, never mind owning, Nordland I. So, still good shit to look forward to in old age.

Ares Kingdom - The Unburiable Dead 8/10
Third full length from a band that really know how to write songs you want to bang yer head to.

Mayhem - Deathcrush 7.5/10
The first ever thing I bought from the breaking BM scene in Norway after a pilgrimage to Soundcellar and Silvester Anfang still sends a chill down the spine. A feral little beast that is a real conduit to the deep, dark past. Ah, go on then...

Sacral Rage - Deadly Bits Of Iron Fragments 7.5/10
Debut EP from these impressive (feckin') Greeks, definitely overdue some new material from them.

Dismember - Massive Killing Capacity 7/10
Never liked the title nor artwork to this and the music is a bit TOO melodic in places for Dismember. Hell, Collection By Blood could almost be mid -period Megadeth. So yeah, maybe my least favourite by the band but still Dismember so still a solid listen.

Defiance - Product Of Society 6/10
If it's thrash I'm going to enjoy it to some degree though this was pretty much bottom of the barrel Bay Area and not helped by a wafer thin production from one Jeff Waters. I even remember a tape of this being bandied around mates like an unwanted puppy. Still bought the CD again recently though and chuffed to have it for what it is.

Gorgoroth- Antichrist. LP landed today along with Pentagram t-shirt. I'm not one for buying picture discs but as that's all that was going I went for it. It looks cool in fairness and I'm glad it comes with a proper cardboard sleeve so you can read song titles without having to pirouette. Ballet wreaks havoc with corpse paint.

[Anvil]

Deep Wound - Deep Wound LP
Crucifix - Dehuminization

[Necrohag]

Death - Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic & The Sound of Perseverance. What a fucking run of albums. Untouchable stuff.

Carnosus - Visions of Infinihility. A savage slice of Death Metal. The vocals and guitar work remind me of that old Irish band Vile Regression on their E.P The Pattern Evolves.

Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal. This album has become one of my absolute go-tos when I'm in the mood for some furious, groove-laden epic DM.

HELL - Human Remains & Curse and Chapter. Will never tire of these albums and it's an absolute shame they seem to be on an indefinite hiatus. At least one more album please lads!

[Rosco]

Replacire-the center that cannot hold.

Hour of penance-devotion

Tribal gaze- new single

[Ducky]

Morbid Angel- Gateways,an album that divides opinion,but I love putting it on every few months!

I'll die on the hill of "Summoning Redemption" being their best song

Deep Purple - Burn

Controversial one, but while it seems they have become a little bit forgotten when compared to the legacies of their peers in Sabbath and Zeppelin...would it be fair to say when it comes to the recordings Deep Purple were able to capture a much more energetic/lively sound on record compared to them? Don't get me wrong both were a bit more consistent in their output than Deep Purple, but the sound on DP's stuff is amazing for the period, even Lizzy a couple of years later were never quite able to capture the power of their live sound on record.

Also, metal needs more organs imo.
