Darkthrone-Soulside Journey, Sentenced-Shadows of the Past, Amorphis-The Karelian Isthmus. Three old school 1991/92 death metal classics by three bands who would go on to drastically alter their sound on subsequent releases.

[Carnage]

Ashtoreth & Grey Malkin: Pilgrim

Decent dark ambient/soundscape stuff, remix disc is excellent, too.

[Circlepit]

Tomb Of The Mutilated this evening. The sound of these recordings just make it for me. My wife thinks it's shit. Not the actual music but the sound. Go on away says I. !!!

[astfgyl]

Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste

Really great from start to finish. Metal, Industrial, Post-Punk rolled up together

[polymer]

Revenge - 'Strike.Smother.Dehumanize' - their most accessible record to date? Discernible riffs? What a time to be alive.

[Wiseblood]

Megadeth  - Risk
Why? Well I'm working my through my entire collection while working from home so I figured I'd revisit this too and all the other "gems" that I haven't listened to in years.

It's largely muck with a few cracking rock songs in there. It's remarkable to think that when this came out 21 years ago that it was the sound of a band getting old and ready for the scrap heap.

Even more remarkable is how they (and others) have been seen to be front runners of the genre now while not releasing anything of merit in any way. So many bands have been shit for so much longer than they were relevant.

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Summer perfection (aside from the last two songs which, if someone taped it for you onto a C90, were wisely absent).

[Floss]

Having seen (the excellent John Bush singing along with Charlie Benante yesterday I put on Stomp 442 last night... there's some great songs on it (maybe with a bit of filler)... its not the best of the Bush albums, but its far from being shite and gets a bit of a bad rap i think. Vol 8 - The Threat is Real is also a beauty by the  way...  I'm a big fan of the Bush era stuff, especially SOWN and WCFYA... two really excellent albums.

Silliest thing they ever did was to offload Bush.
SOWN and WCFYA are amazing. Vol8 and Stomp 442 are very strong also. I'd reach for any of them ahead of the Belladonna stuff.

Monster Magnet- Powertrip.  The first three tracks in particular always add to a sunny day!
Terror- Lowest Of The Low.

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction

Mercyful Fate - Melissa

To Tame a Land makes a lot more sense now after finally starting the Dune books

[Paul keohane]

Tomb Mold- Planetary Clairvoyance ,another top DM release in recent times.

What a suggestion for the evening.

Eternum - the devouring descent
Blood Stronghold - From Sepulchral Remains... And also March of the Apparition.
Excellent nostalgic, medieval flavoured Black metal. Both bands featuring Night wolf, currently of Runespell.
