Now Playing

[Anvil]

Riot - Thundersteel
Rotting Christ - A Dead Poem
Pentagon - Lightning in a Bottle
Stoned Jesus - First Communion (strangely the paramedic who brought my mum to hospital last week recommended this band to me).

[Carnage]

Primitive Man / Sea Bastard split EP

And after a good few years I gave Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road yet another - and this time, final - try (changing tastes and all that). They're both still shit, CU particularly so.

Below: Across Tthe Dark River

Pure Candlemass worship, yer man's voice is like a cross between Robert Lowe and Ronnie Dio, with a touch of King Diamond.

[Eoin McLove]

Nílim- Uncoiling.
The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud- The Smell of Blood But Victory.

[Carnage]

Masters Of Reality: s/t
Trouble: Run To The Light - a forgotten and underrated album IMO.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Gave the At the Gates a go. Pretty typical post-SoS stuff to these ears, so RIP and nice they were able to get a final album with him finished and all, but nothing in it worth revisiting for me.

Tried Exüul again too. Still not sold.

Cryptic Shift - Overspace & Supertime (aah, that's more like it  )

[Carnage]

Queensryche: Operation: Mindcrime
The Ocean: FluXion

[Anvil]

Entombed - Left Hand Path
Mourning Beloveth - Dust
Chalice - Divine Spear

[The Great Cull]

Castle Rat - The Bestiary
Down - Nola
Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow
Soundgarden - Down On The Upside

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Muuntautuja by Oranssi Pazuzu.

Revisiting this for the first time in a while, had it on repeat for a good while after they released it before giving it a break. It holds up so well, no weak moment on it for me.

[Ducky]

Cryptic Shift - Overspace & Supertime (aah, that's more like it  )

This yoke is exhausting, but I keep going back to it! 

[Thorn]

Same, it's a mammoth to take in.

[Anvil]

Drudkh - Thaw
At The Gates - The Ghost if a Future Dead
Time Rift - Eternal Rock
Thor - Only The Strong
Death - Scream Bloody Gore

[Goosebumples]

Krallice - Demonic Wealth.
Very oddball album, even among their catalogue. I struggle to find a reference point for tracks like "stil" and the title track. Weird lofi synth driven stuff, reminds me of ride for revenge at times.

Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound.
Initially didn't vibe with this much as its alot, softer, than I'd usually seek out. After seeing em play it live it clicked a bit more with me. Still has moments that aren't my thing, but a very unique and cohesive record.

Urfaust - Teufelsgeist. Jury's still out on this one for me. Got it, compilation of intoxicants and Constellatory practice last week and I think its the weakest of what I picked up. Not sure if I'd ever reach for it over the rest of their catalogue, few more listens required.
