You really liked this? "Really" as in a whole lot? I listened to the whole thing on your reco. Not terrible or anything by any means, but if it hadn't been for your reco I would have just listened to a song or two and found something else. Kept hoping it would get better toward the end, but it never did. Seemed kind of plodding and uninspired. Monolord - Your Time to Shine, Sweden 2021

Sarcofago - I.N.R.I.

Mavorim - Aasfresser, Germany 2019 Shylmagoghnar - Transience, Netherlands Wormwood - Nattarvet, Sweden 2019

Death - Spiritual Healing (1990)

Bathory (1984) - Bathory It's a little surprising how extreme metal evolved so fast in retrospect. in 1982 Venom and Mercyful Fate were the heaviest most evil bands around and then just two years later they were outclassed by just about everyone. Slayer, Bathory, and Hellhammer all took what venom did and pushed it to its logical extreme. the same year this album came out Death (mantis) and Possessed released their first demos which helped spawn the death metal genre. by 1985 some of the first big crust punk releases were coming out and napalm death invented grindcore. In just three years everything changed Venom went from the most extreme band in the scene to one of the tamest.

Interceptor - Tales of Mayhem - saw these cats last night at a local gig. Total Venom and Motorhead worship from Charleston, SC. Not bad.

Deicide - Deicide

Kreator - Cause For Conflict

Tankard - Thirst Tankard - B-Day

Ritual Carnage - The Highest Law (1998)

Vital Remains - Excruciating Pain

I'm thinking that, apart from The Age of Nero and Now, Diabolical, I don't know much about Satyricon. Exodus - Tempo of the Damned (2004)

Wrath - Nothing to Fear (1987) One of my must-have Thrash albums of any era.

Hulder - Verses in Oath (2024) Cradle of Filth - The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (1994)

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell (album)

Blood fire death (1988) - bathory eaten back to life (1990) - cannibal corpse

Slayer - World Painted Blood

NP: Molten - Malicide ▶︎ Malicide | MOLTEN (bandcamp.com) Now this is really good. Death metal with some 'almost, but not quite' thrashy melody coursing through it. Notably unlike Entombed and their legion of adherents, but faster and punchier. The melody is outside of the Gothenburg range by natural consequence of the riffs themselves, and avoiding twinned harmonies. Think along the lines of Demigod's Slumber of Sullen Eyes with some thrashy Exodusesque bounce. Recommended.

Another NWOTHM find from last year. A little less polished than the Walpurgys and leans more on the HM side. Kerrigan - Bloodmoon

Steve Vai - Sex & Religion

Kvele - Frostbitten Apocalypse, Greece Upon the Altar - Descendants of Evil, black/death Poland Is it just me or is the advent of the one-woman black metal project like the coolest thing ever? She's got like 10 other bands too. Gesundheit

MOD EDIT - Only embedded youtube links are permitted in this thread (and Bandcamp).

MARTHE - Further in Evil (2023) - missed this one last year. Definitely FFO early Bathory, HellHammer, that early nasty black metal sound. Digging it. Further In Evil | MARTHE (bandcamp.com)

Celtic Frost - Into the Pandemonium (1987)

Sepultura - Arise (1991)

Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge

A few more. Uploading images is such a pain I can only bear to do it every few days.

Obituary - Slowly We Rot (1989)

Flying home today so lots of time to listen to tunes. Death - Individual Thought Patterns Death - The Sound of Perseverance Cynic - Focus

Kerry King - From Hell I Rise (2024) Come on! Let's give the product another chance...

I guess this is the best place for some photos as promised to the GG. Darwin is a place to fly out of - we went home from there, and long long drives on terrible red dirt/sand roads with usually no internet/phone reception. Gove Murwangi Also Murwangi Both East Arnhem Land I'll post more tomorrow. It's a pain shrinking my images to fit and it's hard when I'm doing everything one handed because of the needy black cat who hasn't got over being sent to cat prison yet being held on my knee with my other hand.
