Having seen (the excellent John Bush singing along with Charlie Benante yesterday I put on Stomp 442 last night... there's some great songs on it (maybe with a bit of filler)... its not the best of the Bush albums, but its far from being shite and gets a bit of a bad rap i think. Vol 8 - The Threat is Real is also a beauty by the  way...  I'm a big fan of the Bush era stuff, especially SOWN and WCFYA... two really excellent albums.
That's promising. He and Bush had not really spoken in a long time. Perhaps it's time for the reunion of the real classic lineup!

Carpathian Forest- Fuck You All. I've only very recently started listening to this. Great songs.
Next up Dark aside Of The Moon as I'm reading the Pink Floyd biography.

Nick Mason's one? I though that was pretty decent myself.

No it's the Mark Blake one. In exhaustive in its detail sometimes to its detriment.
Roger Waters is painted as an absolute bastard.

Sounds about right, he comes across as one.



ANTHRAX "Persistance of Time" I'm not the biggest Anthrax fan but this is such a classic album. Love it everytime I hear it.

GOATSPELL "Esoterrorism" Savage Black Thrash from France. If you like this sort of thing then you'll like this thing.

Grave Upheaval discog from start to finish. Like psychedelics, they're most effective in large doses. Savage band.
Rounded out the evening with Damnation by Temple Nightside. Can't wait for the full length in August.

This is an album which confounds me even to this day, and I thought I would have been used to it by now but no. Something new to hear every time and I first heard it in 1991 :-[.  It's certainly a 'desert island disc' for me, relentlessly bizaare but one of the best 'insert genre here' albums, I mean, how does one catagorise it?. Impossible. Sure, it has metal riffs and thrash riffs here and there but then there is so much more.

Great album all round, and know it inside out, but Disco Volante is the desert island disc for me.  One of the best albums ever written.  Could never ever get sick of it.

Gamma Ray-Land of the Free. 25 years old today. Remember buying it shortly after its release in Empire Music in Limerick when I finished repeating one college exam just because Kai Hansen was lead singer. Simpler times.

Ah, Empire Music. Simpler times indeed.

Was a godsend back in the day and you'd come acrosss the odd gem. Remember buying a Chaos AD longsleeve and an REM Monster longsleeve for a friend of mine who lost the one he bought exiting Slane for £5 each. There was also a second hand shop next the train station (think it was called Blackspot Records) where the odd gold nugget was unearthed (Gates of Ishtar, Dawn, My Dying Bride to name a few). As was said simpler times.

Blackspot was deadly ya. I lived above it for a while with a couple of the lads. An utter mankhole, not improved by us shitehawks acting the maggot.
