Great band, mate

Thy Catafalque - Sárember

Fuck. Yes! New Thy Catafalque rocks! The solistic part near the end of the song reminds me of Antestor's "Tilflukt", sounds awesome!

凛として時雨 (Ling Tosite Sigure) - #5

My AotY thus far.

Naildown -World Domination

Definitely one of the better Bodom clones from that time period.

Sabbat - "The Dwelling - The Melody of Death Mask"


Finally got around to ordering the Sabbat reissue set from Hell's Headbangers. Not sure what took me so long.

Dream Theater - Stream of Consciousness

One of the better instrumental tracks DT has created.

Armored Saint - Tainted Past

Great semi-ballad from John Bush and the crew.

Judas Priest - You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise

One of the first Priest tracks I got into. Very catchy, a classic party metal piece.

Atheist - Elements

Melvins - Heater Moves & Eyes

Sludgy Metal Mayhem by the masters. An album as angry as it is crushing!

Summoning - "Tar-Calion" from With Doom We Come

Didn't enjoy this album as much as I'd hoped when it first was released. Let it rest for a while and now I'm giving it some more playtime.

Succumb - Bedchambers

Anyone into death metal should give these guys a spin or two. It's a really stunning debut.

A very underrated album.

When metal was still alive (have not encountered anything vital in the past 10 years).
Satyricon - Rebel - a masterpiece
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-7KNYPm9MA

Goatsnake - Prayer For A Dying

As soul crushing as it gets... pure old school style at its best.

Sojourner - Bound by Blood

Lovely stuff.
Looking forward to get the new album!

Triptykon - Goetia

Nothing to add at this moment.

Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning (Priest...Live! version)

A wonderful live rendition. The band's energy explodes from the speakers, and Halford sounds superb. And I'm pretty sure the tempo's kicked up slightly from the studio version.

^ this must be an example of synchronicity, I was just typing in another thread that Halford should just do Freewheel live again, and retire

I'm finally about to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6C637g6heY - JP March 13th full show

Edge Of Sanity - Crimson I & II

Death Metal masterpieces musically and with such epic storytelling and what a villain as well. The Crimson Queen is something of true horrors!

Cradle of Filth - Beneath the Howling Stars

When they're on, they're on.

Dismember - Sorrowfilled

Until recently, the only Dismember album I had heard was Like an Everflowing Stream, but after listening to Indecent and Obscene on a whim, I might have a new favorite. This album has some fucking tasty breakdowns, and the melodic bits are pure excellence. Matti Kärki rules.

The Sisters of Mercy - "Walk Away"

An immortal classic from the days of the new wave/goth scene.

The Cure - "A Forest"

It was later on that I discovered the brilliance of this song. I was content listening to the Cure's hit songs. But I dug their material further and found gold on tracks that I previously skipped on. This is the perfect example of that. Just a great song wallowing in its own murky atmosphere.

Phobocosm - "Engulfing Dust" from Bringer of Drought

Slow, crushing, doomy death metal. Phenomenal.

Trouble - Victim Of The Insane

Crushing Metal from the classic year of 1984. One of the best albums of that year!

Aphex Twin - Tassels

Almost done with SAW II, Jeez. What a journey.

Went on a quest to the bottom of my collection, found Brutal Truth - Sounds of the Animal Kingdom and took it out for a spin

still sounds pretty good after 20 years,

Megadeth - Dystopia

Dave can still crank out the good shit. A fine offering after a few not so hot records.

Deathspell Omega - Paracletus

I decided to listen to Paracletus in its entirety. Right now I'm half way though and I'm really not enjoying this album at all.

Paracletus is sheer genius.

Megadeth - Live On Air 1987 - was an unofficial release in 2016. It's got the wrong lineup on the front cover and a few songs are mispelt. Overall, pretty awesome live performance.

And, those two Johnny K. era albums suck i.m.o. They're the only two I can't stand! I'd rather listen to Risk on a loop for a couple of hours, than listen to 13/Collider, once.

Blaze Bayley - Infinite Entanglement

This trilogy is probably his best material ever. Seems like most of the inconsistencies of previous works have been dispensed with. More creative, sharp writing too.

Scavenger, from Belgium, and their one album, Battlefields - It's really good.

The Black album - Still boring as hell. I'm at "Hollier Than Thou" and it's a lame as Ratt's "Body Talk" or Motley Crue's "Kickstart my Heart". Gonna give up on it soon.

Slough Feg - Habeas Corpsus

Love the desert/western vibe on this. A good song on a so far so so record.

I loved this album, and this track is one of the key reasons why (along with the title track and "Laser Enforcer"). I'm hoping that, if they release a new album, this creative streak they've been on continues to hold strong.

I'm only on my second listen so I'm not ready to final judge it yet.

Metallica - Hardwired...To Self-Destruct

The Met dudes still know how to throw it down!

The bts documentary on the creation of this album is very interesting. I love seeing how songs are crafted in the studio from the start to the end. Fascinating stuff.

Better?









(2015) Dødheimsgard - A Umbra Omega.
This is weird.

pentagram ( mezarkabul ) - ' unspoken ' truly a masterpiece
