On a Life Of Agony buzz tonight. Mein Gott, but River Runs Red and Ugly are two sublime albums.

Chat Pile - Who Loves the Sun

Bit late to the party with this one. I was putting off listening as I heard it wasn't as heavy as CW and GC, but it's gnarly enough. Another great album.

@Thorn - listened to one track off that Defender album and thought nope, not for me.   

Infernal Majesty - None Shall Defy
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Sagenbringer - Sagenoarium (2026 EP from, a new to me, German Folk Metal band.  Not sure I will bother checking out the rest of their discography).
Warlord - The Lost Archangel
Skumstrike - Flawless Intrigue From Hell
Aura Noir - Aura Noire


Yeah it's a bit watery Anvil alright.

What isn't watery is the new Critical Defiance.   Very strong release. 

Critical Defiance - Rivers of Blood
Ranger - Where Evil Dwells
A Midryasi's Cult - Italian Dark Sound
Armoured Knight - The Sacred Flame

Yep I had one listen while waiting on it to arrive and it's another killer from Chile. That Ranger is a Speed Metal wet dream as far as I remember, must hook it out.

The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud- s/t. What a fucking band.


Bal-Sagoth - The Power Cosmic. I love this album.

Outre-Tombe - Répurgation
Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
Haxprocess - Beyond What Eyes Can See

Giving the new Iommi a blast here. Not bad, certainly not exceptional. One funny thing though is that the lad he has on vocals, after a bit of wracking my brains, keeps reminding me of yer man from Avenged Sevenfold  :-X  :laugh:

Rigor Mortis - ST
Holy Terror -  Mind Wars
