Hello, I’m Luna! Im just your average desert dwelling, metal loving, horror addicted, beer swilling, no fucks giving, barely human lost soul. I don’t know how I found my way onto this forum, but here I am. The band I’m listening to at the moment is Wayfarer, the album American Gothic. It’s pretty fuckin cool! I don’t know what else to say, so yea… bye 👋

Motorhead - No Sleep Til Hammersmith

Tankard - Thirst

Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated

Zhrine - Unortheta Forgot just how cool this album is

Strapping Young Lad - The New Black

Kreator - Coma Of Souls

Terrorizer - World Downfall

Zørza - Hellven, Poland Houle - Ciel Cendre et Misère Noire, France

Good choice. 1st album I heard by them. Hooked me onto the band. I met Gene Hoglan a few years ago at a drum clinic and asked him about what it was like recording that album. From what I remember he said he flew to Norway and when he got there the drum set they had for him was such shit quality so he had to make a bunch of adjustments and get them to buy some extra pieces/equipment. Fav song Demoniacal Possession

One of my favourite riffs to play, sounds even heavier in C# tuning 🤘

Luna is apparently the most common named given to cats. I know, because I share one with my wife. Welcome Luna, the (barely) human. American Gothic is pretty darned good.

Black Sabbath - Mob Rules

Helloween - Walls of Jericho (1985)

Pantera - Cowboys from Hell (1990)

Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World (2000) @JamesT Read this interview : FORBIDDEN Is Working On Their First Album Since 2010 At the end, Craig talks about recording a new album in 2025. I hope we don't have to wait as long as we did for the hypothetical next Dark Angel.

King Diamond - Abigael (1987)

Great call with Officium Triste! Love those guys.

Dark Angel - Time does not heal (1991)

Forbidden - "Forbidden Evil" Forbidden - "Omega Wave"

Brings to mind Mercyful Fate and King Diamond 🤘

NP: Ascalapha - Somber Vampyric Night ▶︎ Somber Vampyric Night | Ascalapha | ATMF (bandcamp.com) In the same sort of spirit as UDÅD from this earlier this year, this one shoots straight with little to no ceremony to stand on. These aren't long labyrinthian structures that end in a completely different place than they started, and the shorter song run times reflect this. It's digestible and decidedly mid paced, but I think it's doing exactly what it wants to do and finding remarkable success inside of its self imposed strictures to boot.

Nocturnal Rites - Grand Illusion

Sodom - Decision Day

Was just playing that yesterday....wasn't sure about it with the first track, but the longer the album went on the more I started liking it

NP: Swampbeast - Offering of Chaos, Lamenting in the Blood of Man https://swampbeasttl.bandcamp.com/album/offering-of-chaos-lamenting-in-the-blood-of-man I like this. It has that really nice Scandinavian style of thump in the guitars you'd want from the simpler styles of death metal along with the chaotic mess from the higher end. Switch ups in the rhythms are frequent, but not jarring. Closest comparisons I can make are Grave or Carnage.

Danzig - The Lost Tracks Of Danzig

Old Mans Child - Ill Natured Spiritual Invasion

Always been a fan of this one! Sure, the production is far from polished, but they dispensed with the radio-friendly hard rock of the previous two albums and made a concerted effort to get back to heavy, aggressive metal again. There aren't any guitar solos, but the songwriting is really solid. I'll be playing this one tomorrow thanks to your post!

I don't know what to say either, so hi.

Metallica - St. Anger (album)

Yes, I certainly hope not, too! I feel like I've been hearing about a new Dark Angel album forever. Probably how a lot of fans feel about the possibility of a new King Diamond album having been hung over their heads for several years now.

Be awesome if someone turned this into a horror film, my friend Greg had the cover as a chest tat Great Gilmore's Roadhouse was a bar in Etobicoke with live entertainment every night, one side for blues bands the other for rock and metal there was doors inside separating the venues, other than the Gasworks, Larrys Hideaway and Rock n Roll Heaven that was the place to play and see live acts in the 80's. Wish I had a time machine

Górecki - Symphony of Sorrowful Songs

Taste - Life On Earth

Metallica - Load (album)

I think we'll have a successor to Omega Wave soon. Craig Lociciero didn't reform Forbidden with a new (and talented) singer + Kris Kontos on drums, just for the live shows.

Orange Goblin - Frequencies From Planet Ten

Understandable, not a big fan of metalcore either actually

A truly fantastic album! "Omega Wave" is great as well. It's a shame these guys didn't put out more albums over the years. HammerFall - "Glory to the Brave" Krokus - "Hoodoo" Betzefer - "The Devil Went Down to the Holy Land" Betzefer - "Entertain Your Force of Habit" Superb groove metal by this Israeli band - the ones who have come the closest to the PanterA sound that I've heard, which automatically puts them into the stratosphere for me!

@JamesTForbidden Evil is an excellent choice !

Warrior - Hate Maelstrom Much like the first album, it's decent enough, but still doesnt quite hit the spot. There also seems to be some kind of weird echo effect on the vocals that I don't care for https://grindtodeathrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hate-maelstrom

NP: Grave Heresy - Incineration Victory ▶︎ Incineration Victory | GRAVE HERESY | 𝔊𝔬𝔡𝔷 𝔒𝔳 𝔚𝔞𝔯 𝔓𝔯𝔬𝔡𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫𝔰 (bandcamp.com) On a roll today. Always on the lookout for bands that can get the Angelcorpse sound right, and these guys do it admirably.

NEKRODAWN - Sculpted By Torture

Evoken - Antithesis of Light

Mournful Congregation - The Nonad of Creation

ok I know we have a section in hobbies for cooking but this is different, post about your favourite foods, drinks, and restuarants actually I had an amazing meal last night, a Vietnamese quail dish as an entree which was spectacular and a kangaroo schnitzel as the main, that with a Crowne Lager what a great meal

So far in 2024- Dodsrit/Nocturnal Will-early EOY list contender for me Judas Priest/Internal Shield Borknagar/Fall Chelsea Wolfe/She Reaches Out to Shea Madder Morten/Old Eyes New Heart Ihsahn S/T The Smile/Wall of Eyes
