It's pints of Guinness you should be pulling.

Ænima is their best for me, but I dug out Undertow for the first time in years a while back and it went down really well, better than when it was released. 'Tis underrated.

[Dr Rockso]

Verminous Serpent - The Malign Covenant (Need a bit of filth with all this shite weather we're getting in Spain at the moment)

[Anvil]

Worm - Forceverglade

Warning - Watching From A Distance

Tiamat - Wildhoney (never got into this as much as the previous albums and never listened to anything they did after... Am I missing anything essential?)

Aggressive Perfector- Havoc At The Midnight Hour

Harrowed - The Eternal Hunger 

Witching Hour - Descending...  Where Time Has Ceased To Exist (don't think I would give it a score quite as low as Thorn's, but it isn't going to end up in my end of year list either - I don't mind the vocals at all and the riffs are great!).

Deceptor - Reign of Terror (this might make my end of year list - old school Death/Thrash on Dying Victims a couple of months ago.  Nothing new but it has been hitting the spot for me).

I haven't listened to Tool in years but a random pull gave me Aenima for the upcoming week so ..interesting to see how that goes.

I put this on yesterday. It is of course very good, Undertow too (was the first Tool album I owned), but Lateralus and later is the period I most vibe with.

Either way, can only take so much before getting the itch for something bloody animal though, so tis the Gospel of the Horns boxset this morning.

Grotesque Bliss this evening. Lovely stuff.
Death Appeal- There's Hope Yet.

[The Great Cull]

This week has me going back to some oldies
Suicidal Tendencies - Join The Army
Suicidal Tendencies - Controlled By Hatred...
Anathema - Serenades
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Gave the new A Perfect Circle single a listen too and it's not bad.

Try Amanethes by Tiamat. It's like a mixture of all the styles they have done on one album. I'd say that's actually my favorite by them. I think Wildhoney is very overrated. Quite a boring album I find.

I think The Scarred People is a great album.

Just to chime in on Tiamat, I lost interest with A Deeper Kind of Slumber, but I love Wildhoney in all its low-key glory. I really should try some of the later stuff at some point.

Last six metal albums for me:
Nocternity (Greece, 2015) – Harps of the Ancient Temples [total plodfest, but has its charms]
Fauna (USA, 2025) – Ochre & Ash [one of the best albums from last year]
The Ruins of Beverast (Germany, 2009) – Unlock the Shrine [easily their best, and the last excellent one up until the new one]
Xasthur (USA, 2026) – Open to Misinterpretation [I don't know what I was fucking thinking listening to this, semi-acoustic reworks of his greatest hits, pointless]
Drenskapur (Germany, 2020) – Was der Morast verschlang [getting lots of spins the past month or so, Moorwanderer is a class track]
Nachtymistium (USA, 2024) – Blight Privilege [nice to come back to this after playing it a bit too much when it came out]
