My old cd player died about a year ago and only just got a replacement, so decided to start listening to all my cds in order to celebrate, starting off with:

3 Inches of Blood - Battlecry Under a Winter Sun; Advance & Vanquish

Advance & Vanquish is great craic. I always keep meaning to check out the other albums.

Since the repress arrived this morning:
Alice In Chains:s/t

I hadn't listened to 3 Inches of Blood in an age, until last summer and this popped up on my YouTube.  Really enjoyed it.


The Gates of Slumber - s/t (I'd forgot how good this is)
DoomSword - Let Battle Commence (a recent post put me in the notion, love it)

Must check out the live 3 Inches always had a soft spot for Battlecry..

Advance & Vanquish is a stone cold banger of an album.


I had Advance And Vanquish at the time but never took to it, ended up trading it. Deadly Sinners was a mighty tune though.

Absolute blast of an album, never checked out anything else by them though

Arcturus- Aspera Hiems Symfonia.

Isis- Celestial. Long time since I've put this on and it'll be a long time before I put it on again. Total shite  :laugh:

Kohort- Christian Masquerade.

Osculum Infame- Sadomatic, Impure Artgoat.

Fixed that for you, no charge.

Celestial is mighty but I've never understood the love for Arcturus. That's genuinely one of the worst albuns I've heard. And I own Limp Biscuit CDs. Plural.

Jaysus :laugh: I love it now but when I first heard it years ago just thought it was okay.  Had already heard Panopticon and Oceanic and much preferred them.  Now I put it on par with Panopticon (but nothing is touching Oceanic), I remember having it on one day in a run with some Isis EPs and hadn't heard it in years at the time but it finally clicked.

Gave this a few goes over the last few days:

Intense stuff.  Noise Rock anyway but punishing and wild, one hour long song with a world of different shit going on in it.  Sort of chaotic mix of late era Swans, Daughters, bits of Shellac, Fantomas' "Delirium Cordia" specifically, and a lad just solidly giving out to you over the whole thing.  It's great

Mountain Throne - The Silver Light
Immolation - Failures For Gods
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract

Various "Hardcore Holocaust"
Various "Hardcore Holocaust II"
