Riot - Fire Down Under, 1981 Riot - Restless Breed, 1982 Plasmatics - Coup D'Etat, 1982 ✊

My favorite death metal band! Now that Rutan is in Cannibal Corpse, I don't know when we'll see another Hate Eternal album, but I hope he finds the time do another album or two.

Akercocke - Renaissance In Extremis

The Lords of Altamont - Midnight to 666, LA 2011

Exodus - "Tempo of the Damned" Enforced - "Kill Grid" Overdose - "Two Wheels and Gone"

Chapel - Satan's Rock 'n' Roll, Vancouver BC 2012. The Canadian Midnight Midnight Sacrifice - Black Rock 'n' Roll, Lima Peru 2023 Overdose - Two Wheels and Gone, NY 2020 All their album covers sucked, no idea who came up with the stupid seal mascot. Probably one of the reasons they never went anywhere. Shame because they were a great band in the early 80's.

I realize it's been said many times before by many others, but God I hate this album cover. It's existence and publication is a justification for firing any and all artists and simply using AI. NP: Fissure of Riddles - The Marble Realm ▶︎ The Marble Realm | Fissure of Riddles (bandcamp.com) An English band called Fissure of Riddles that labels themselves as progressive sludge post-metal? Made me feel like this is was either going to be the best or the worst thing I hear all week. Instead it's just kind of toothless and unremarkable. I don't know. The progressive element blended with the sludge is fine. You'd think there'd be some fertile musical ground there, but for some reason it just feels a little lifeless. Sludge isn't exactly a genre that uses a ton of hooks, and post-metal seems to actively delight in avoiding them. It just sorta stops any momentum dead in it's tracks.

I dig it. Pulled it off your bc. Probably won't purchase it, maybe a little too weird, but I do appreciate it. Different take on folk black metal than I've heard.

Pantera - Far Beyond Driven (1994)

Hate Eternal - I, Monarch (2005)
