[Eoin McLove]

Enforcer  - Death By fire

Good at what they do but absolutely no staying power for me, same old stuff over and over. They should have called it quits after Diamonds

Diamonds rules. Death by Fire did nothing for me. I can't remember a note of it.

[Circlepit]

Stallion - Slaves Of Time.
Stallion - From The Dead.
Sunday denim power.

[Bürggermeister]

Testament - The Ritual

First time listening to this in years, you forget just how hard they were trying to make the Black Album. Skolnick is superb on it, however.

[Iliketortles]

Bathory-Under the sign of the Black mark.

What an album this is. Enter the Eternal fire never fails to get the hairs standing.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Love it, personal favourite Bathory.

Today was all Dio-era Rainbow and then Tubular Bells, both of which accompanied a couple hours driving through the Alps absolutely perfectly albeit each very differently.

[Anvil]

Seven Sisters - Shadow of a Fallen Star PT 2.
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller
Obituary - Slowly We Rot

[Eoin McLove]

Forbidden Temple- In the rotting grave LP.

The record and tshirt both arrived today, coming from different places which was a pleasant coincidence. I've listened to the CD heaps already but it's nice to fire the record on the deck all the same. Nice to have to two different album covers as well. I noticed that the logo used on the tshirt, which is the one used on one of their other EP vinyl versions, has a spelling mistake- Forbidden Themple! 

[Maggot Colony]

Profanatica - Wreathed in Dead Angels

[Eoin McLove]

Old Funeral- studio recordings from 1992. I've never listened to OF before for some reason but I'm really liking these recordings. I might have to grab that compilation I saw doing the rounds in recent years. No Varg on this recording and I'm not sure how involved he was with them, but it's it the Hades dudes before they became Hades? The first song is called Alone Walking, which would be quite the coincidence if not.

[The Great Cull]

Down - Nola

Mad to think this is 30 years old this year. It's the greatest fluke album of all time. It's a 10/10 album for me and everything they released afterwards was lukewarm at best

[Carnage]

The third one is their best IMO, it's where his voice had recovered enough to be listenable again. If it wasn't shot on NOLA it'd be the one but his voice was terrible on those first two, so as it is it's Over The Under for me.

[Eoin McLove]

I thought Over the Under was boring. I haven't listened to it in a long time so maybe I should revisit.

[Trev]

Down were very much a time and place band for me. II was the first one I heard and played the shit out of it, then my ex from back then always had on Over the Under, by the time I got around to picking up the debut I was a bit burnt out on that style so it never connected as much

Never listened to the EPs, but the live album has to be one of the worst of all time, Phil is completely fucked on it

[Circlepit]

Nola is a top ten album.
The follow up was poor big the third is brilliant.
The 2 eps are all over the place in terms of quality. That live album is terrible.
New album on the way, proper songs please.

[Carnage]

Yeah the live one is unlistenable, II isn't far behind it. The first EP is decent, I thought but the second is pretty bland.
