Now Playing

[StrangersWithGuns]

As a huge Ministry fan and huge Tommy Victor fan, I find it hard to give anything by Rob Zombie a proper unbiased listen

Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon.
I've had a digital version of this on the hard drive for years and years, but since getting the physical version, it's been playing non-stop.
I've always found that I can't fully appreciate a release unless I own it on CD or LP.
Insane album, though. Will finally get the chance to see them in August.

Worm - Necropalace.
A lot less miserable death/doom than before. Tougas is showing off the guitar skills quite a bit here. Class stuff.

Concrete Winds - Everything they've done.
Gym and work soundtrack this past few weeks. One of my favourite current DM bands. An absolute sonic assault.

Where are you going to see Beherit?

Exuul - Sealed Into None 9/10
The mercurial Crypt Sermon meets Crimson Glory brilliance of this has made it my release of the year to date. Plenty of big hitters on the way next month though..

Qrixkuor - Zoetrope 8/10
The one extended track ep before 'The Womb...', The symphonic flourishes adorning the Black Doom dirge here more understated but, in hindsight, signposting what was to come.

Attacker - The God Particle 6/10
Should like this one more but the, at times, overwrought screech of Bobby Lucas on vocals, combined with the short 33mins of some pretty run of the mill Power Metal tracks,means it's just above average for me. Bought it on vinyl,.like the cover art.

This ain't grabbing me as much as I was expecting on the basis of that description. Voice would have to grow on me.

I think the vocals rule  myself, ye not hear a bit of Warrel Dane in there? A bit of Brook Wilson? And someone else who I can't quite nail yet, yer man outta Fates Warning maybe. (Damn, I always want to put an apostrophe in Fates Warning)

[Anvil]

Iron Maiden - No Prayer for the Dying
Forsaken - Dominaeon 
Sigh - Hail Horror Hail
Leatherhead - Violent Horror Stories

[Maggot Colony]

Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne! – Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne!

Quality black metal from Norway of all places. A few lads from Manes and a chap from Misotheist are involved in the project.

[Bürggermeister]

Faith or Fear - Punishment Area
Dream Death - Journey Into Mystery
Gothic Slam - Killer Instinct

Sometimes C-level is just right

[The Great Cull]

Morbid Angel - Covenant & Domination
Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten
Deicide - Legion & Serpents Of The Light
Obituary - Cause Of Death
Pestilence - Testimony Of The Ancients

I think vocals are the best bit about it. Was duped by the original list of bands I saw it compared it.

[Ducky]

Obituary - Slowly We Rot.
Extol - Synergy.
Maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map.
Deliquesce - Saviour/Enslaver

[OpenSores]

Exuul - Sealed Into None...enjoying this more than I expected, vocals are quality to these ears.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Metallica - Master of Puppets

By the time Damage Inc. rolls round, just after midnight, it'll be this lad's 40th anniversary. Hasn't aged a day. What's it's secret!?
