Random metal related thoughts

[Mithrandir]

The one on the right is from the Slayer Def Jam demo.

Ahhh yes! I was searching metal blade related things but would have never have gotten to Slayer either. I can rest easy now.

I know all of them now apart from the inverted black cross which I just assumed was a random black cross but the more I think of it it's likely from something.

Same, the one middle right turns out to be Manilla Road. I'd nevwr have gotten that as I can't abide them.

[open face surgery]

Would've never got Slayer, Priest or Motorhead.

I got Slayer...

Spoiler

entirely because I landed on this page first and played that demo all the way through while eating me tea

What's this all about now? 🤔🤔

Thinking about Electric Wizard last night.  Dopethrone is so much better than the rest of their catalog it isn't even funny but also, as much as Funeralopolis is unreal, the peak of the album lies here: https://youtu.be/Ofd14Iz2dYU?si=7b0yDUjQE4RRY6Oc

I prefer Come My Fanatics. Dopethrone is great, but it could have done with some trimming.

Dopethrone is the only one I actually own (and I paid stupid money for it on import, too), I must remedy that. Hard to pick a favourite but it'd be that or Witchcult Today for me. Both very different but WT is so bloody catchy in places that it lives in your head for ages afterward. Dopethrone is just filth, good filth.

CMF is class too to be fair.  Dopethrone dips a little in the back half but I still love it.  Originally only particularly liked one or two songs off it originally when I heard it but it became a regular background album in a place I worked years back and from there I grew to love the whole thing.

Dopethrone is great but Come My Fanatics is their finest hour.

Let Us Prey is underrated too.

Went to see Abigail last night, fuck they ruled!! Place was feral, I was wasted and was launching off the monitors getting a bit old for that shit now but fun night all the same.

I have a real soft spot for Black Masses, of all things

[Carnage]

I'm the opposite, I found that one disappointing. I haven't liked anything they've done since Witchcult Today TBH.

[astfgyl]

It's completely different to be fair and I haven't checked anything of theirs out since but it just went down well for me

[Carnage]

It's very similar to WT, maybe that was my issue with it in that it was like a retread of it. I love WT as well, so I dunno.
