[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Howling Sycamore - Howling Sycamore

Still haven't picked up their second album yet, don't know why. This one is so fucking good.

[Thorn]

I think it's better than the second one which goes a little too far off the deep end for my liking.

[Cailleach]

Elderwind - The Colder the Night
Caladan Brood-Echoes of Battle
Cân Bardd-Devoured by the Oak
Saor-Guardians

If the words epic and atmospheric pique your interest you could do a whole lot worse.

[Snare]

You can't do better than Caladan Brood! Love Can Bardd  but couldn't get into Saor at all. I must check out Elderwind, sound.

Poison Idea - Feel the Darkness
Sick Of It All - Just Look Around
Sick Of It All - Scratch the Surface
The Exploited- Troops of Tomorrow

[Don Gately]

The National - Sleep well beast
Fit for an autopsy - oh what the future holds

[Nazgûl]

Earlier this morning:
Primordial - A Journey's End

Now:
Primordial - Spirit The Earth...

The latter is just a huge step up from a Journey' End, which is decent but doesn't hold up to the standard of songwriting and production of the next one. And personally speaking, I prefer the vocal direction AA began to take with this album and improved again on The Gathering Wilderness. On the older stuff, at times it comes across as a bit cheesy the way he over pronounces everything and in a strange, ambiguous accent.

Ozzy - Bark At The Moon

A great album
Granted, a few wishy-washy/poppish/sentimental songs on it, which I don't mind tbh, once in a while (So Tired; You're No Different; Slow Down)

My first Ozzy album was Speak Of The Devil (tore the sh*t out of that album), then The Ultimate Sin I think
From there went back through Tribute, Diary Of A Madman, Blizzard of Ozz, etc

I wonder are there any bookies taking bets on whether he will tour again !!
