Obliveon - From This Day Forward


Grand Magus - Sword Songs

One of those bands you probably only need 3 or 4 albums from

Yep....at a stretch. The curse of being a collector though, you know you're gonna pick up a new one as they are the epitome of dependable.
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Steve Von Till- Alone In A World Of Wounds. Slipping deeper into autumn down here and this album hit the spot nicely on the dark drive to work.

I am intent to die on the hill that kill is the best  :laugh: . Ill revisit the bleeding today and see how it sits with me, its been a while. I always found the lyrics a bit cheesier than the others and thus harder to swallow on that record for some reason...even thou the other stuff isnt exactly high brow  ;D

Just thinking on it, I think its all the sexual stuff on tomb n bleeding that put me off em a bit. I know its peppered throughout their career, just seems a bit much on those two for me.

Cheesier than an album called Kill? Tough sell. While I like what I've heard of most of it, CC remain a 90s band for me. Live Cannibalism is the cut off for me. Butchered is my current go to but The Bleeding is neck and neck.

Ya, i find the songs with strong sexual undercurrents put me off and theres more on those two records than the rest. Cheesy ain't the right word. It just makes me wrinkle my nose a touch, if that makes any sense  ;D

Obviously Im debating the difference between what I consider to be a heap of classics, but aye, for me, the lyrics knock it down a rank.

Have you listened to Bloodthirst? That's the best of the Corpsegrinder albums imo.


Aye its a good one, some great tracks on there! Not as catchy as kill for me, not as aggro as skeletal domain. If anything this discussion has highlighted how consistent theyve been for decades. The last three were fairly bland, but they weren't bad either.
The live albums are the only ones Ive never listened to, and I cant remember a single note off worm infested.
