[Maggot Colony]

Electric Wizard - Black Magic Rituals & Perversions Vol. 1 (Live Walpurgisnacht 2020)

[ijnjnijnilijbibbjknkjbjkk]

Helheim - Niðr ok Norðr liggr Helvegr
Abysmal Lord - Storms of Unholy Black Mass
Katharsis - Fourth Reich

[Cailleach]

Graufar - Via Necropolis

[Bürggermeister]

Voivod - Symphonique

I'm enjoying it a lot. Their music is wild enough for the orchestration to really find a place, rather than being crudely tacked on like a lot of the Metal+Orchestra efforts.

[Cailleach]

Ahamkara - The Embers of the Stars

[Paul keohane]

Undergang- Aldrig i livet!

One of my favourite DM albums of more recent times!

[Maggot Colony]

The new 100 Demons came out yesterday.
No wheels were reinvented but it packs a massive wallop.

Listening to this now. Good stuff. This will get a lot of spins when I'm working out along with the new Terror.

Nearly prefer Endless Pain atm

Both ferocious albums though

[Thorn]

Trouble - Manic Frustration 9/10
Falling just shy of their very best works, this one saw Trouble nevertheless in supreme rock-out form, 'Memory's Garden' was the very first thing I heard by them on some of the old t.v. shows, Raw Power perhaps. Elsewhere the godly riff opening 'Come Touch The Sky' is worth the admission price alone.

Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity 8.5/10
Brutally proficient second release from the Canadians in 1993, a torturously bludgeoning, technically superb step up from the debut which was already pretty killer.

Obliveon - Fiction of Veracity 8/10
Complex tech thrash demo reissue very much unheralded in comparison to their countrymen Voivod but way ahead of the game in 1989 with this stuff.

Lucifericon - Sabatraxas 7.5/10
One of my favourite bands on the Invictus roster with their
'24 EP celebrating their fifteenth year as a band, three tracks left over from the Warlock of Da'ath sessions plus three live tracks from their Dutch homeland which are the highlight here for me, their  Metal of Death sounding supremely dark and occultish on stage.

Sepiroth - Condemed To Suffer 7/10
I think I gave this an apathetic 6 last year when I picked it up but it's hit a spot this week alright. If you need a bit more Cannibal Corpse in your life you could do worse than give this a spin.

Venom - Into Oblivion 7/10
Cronos and his two other pseudonymed dudes back with a mixed bag of tunes that get the job done for the most part, plenty of harkening back /yearning for  the glory days of course, a number of plodders inevitably but yeah, a satisfyingly nasty dose of Venom overall.

[Carnage]

Trouble - Manic Frustration 9/10
Falling just shy of their very best works, this one saw Trouble nevertheless in supreme rock-out form, 'Memory's Garden' was the very first thing I heard by them on some of the old t.v. shows, Raw Power perhaps. Elsewhere the godly riff opening 'Come Touch The Sky' is worth the admission price alone.

100% this. That was the first song I heard of theirs too, wasn't impressed at first but when the riff kicked in it was a real Beavis & Butthead "yeeeaaasss!!" moment. Still a fantastic album, only Rain lets it down, a tad too cheesy/ballady for me. But when Tragedy Man kicks in afterward, game on again.

[Thorn]

Yep, that's the point off for me, Rain just ..eh dampens..proceedings a little, but certainly never skip it either. Actually I never skip anything on any album .

Asphyx - Last one on Earth

Been listening to this all week, I forgot how good it is. I've been a little bored by straight up death metal the last while but this is hitting the spot. Van Drunen is one of, if not the greatest Death Metal vocalists of all time.
