Innominate

7/10 - Not really my style, but I have to admit that it's well performed and kinda fun to listen to.

Pestilence - Spheres

Just found out a 'friend' has betrayed my trust. Wondering why I bother anymore.

There's one simple phrase to remember about people like that:

Thanks man. Her absence is definitely a hole in our lives right now.

Sorry to hear it. I know how you feel, man. My cat died 2 years ago of old age (she was 16). She got to the point where she was just skin and bone and one day she was so weak that she couldn't hardly walk, so I called the vet to have her put down. Anyway, she had already started her period of self-neglect before the vet could see her and died. I had her since I was 12 and she was a kitten. It's odd to think about how you can have all these memories and times in your life associated with a pet, especially an older animal that's been a constant in your life for a while and sort of becomes part of the family. I made a gravestone for my cat out of a big sandstone block and used an old engraver to carve her name and birth/death dates into it. Buried her over at my grandma's place wrapped up in one of my worn-out work jackets that I let her sleep on. It helped me deal with it at the time, so that it didn't feel like she was just "gone." She was a good cat worth remembering and I'm sure yours was too.

Just finished Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma

NP: Hate Eternal - King of All Kings

Obituary - Slowly We Rot

Necromantia - Promo Tape 1990

I like it. The only critique I have is that the drums are a little hard to hear at certain places in "Pride", but that's really just a minor thing. I could still tell what was going on. The musicianship is excellent. I dig the accompanying artwork on this one too, fits the music well. I've enjoyed both Mausoleum EP's.

8/10 - Interesting stuff; made for an enjoyable listen.

Cadaver - Hallucinating Anxiety

Been keeping this on heavy rotation since last week.

9/10

Hell yes, this and their debut are phenomenal.

I checked it out after seeing your thread in the black metal section. Great recommendation.

Current playlist: DHG - A Umbra Omega and The Deathtrip - Deep Drone Master

I like World Ov Worms, but never got into their other stuff. The only thing I'd rag on it about are all the sound samples, but it's not like Astro-Creep level of using samples.

The Mist (Brazil) - Phantasmagoria (1989)

How these guys don't get more recognition is beyond me. They were easily in the same league as any well-known thrash band at the time (far superior to quite a few of them), while still offering up their own unique style. Notably, this album features Marcelo Diaz on bass, who later went onto Soulfly, and the voice of Vladmir Korg of Chakal. Also, the original cover "borrows" quite a bit from Micheal Whelan's Lovecraft's Nightmare A, which is kind of strange since it was done by Kelson Frost (who did the covers for the next album from The Mist, Sarcofago's Rotting, The Laws of Scourge and Chakal's The Man is His Own Jackal, among others). Greyhaze Records reissued Phantasmagoria earlier this year--as well as some other Cogumelo releases--which has the original Micheal Whelan art. The Mist followed up this album with The Hangman Tree (1991, featuring Jairo Guedz on guitars, who left Sepultura after Bestial Devastation), also a great album, a so-so EP, and Gottverlassen (1995) before breaking up. If you're a fan of thrash at all, Phantasmagoria is a must.

Chakal (Brazil) - Abominable Anno Domini (1987)

Abominable Anno Domini and The Man is His Own Jackal (1990) are the only albums from Chakal that I'm very familiar with, but are both great offerings. The sound on the latter is a bit more filled out, the vocals are a little odd, but it's still a solid album worth checking out, if not only for hearing a song called "Santa Claus Has Got Skin Cancer". Anyway, this is a great track from Abominable Anno Domini.

Post Mortem (U.S.A.) - Coroner's Office (1986)

I've only recently started listening to these guys, but if you're looking for some old, chaotic sounding thrash, this won't waste your time. This album definitely ventures off into some wild territory.

Pentagram Chile - Pentagram (2000)

Pentagram (known as Pentagram Chile since 2012) are legendary. Technically they're more of a death/thrash band, but their early demos on this compilation blur the distinction. They released their only full-length, The Malefice in 2013 which is also worth seeking out. This is early South American thrash that one might think of being in the same vein of Possessed or even Holocausto, but not comparable in terms of individual style or execution.

Furia - Grudzien za grudniem

You'd probably dig it. It's pretty bizarre and has some well-executed comedy in it.

Hmmm... I'll go with 4/10

It's a really heavy song, but it's totally Dave Mustaine. Gotta be. Especially that riff around 1:49 - 2:55. There's no way James or Kirk came up that. It has Dave's style written all over it. It actually sounds close to one of the riffs from "Wake Up Dead"

Dogs. Being skinned alive seems like it'd take a while and a pack of hungry dogs could potentially tear you apart in seconds. As long as they aren't lap dogs. But if anyone could manage to get eaten by a pack of yorkies or something, they'd probably deserve it.

Who would you rather be, Micheal Jackson or Stalin?

Dude hasn't been back. This thread must have eased his concerns.

I picked up a copy of Being John Malkovich last week. It was good to see it again. I'd forgotten about the scene where Lotte is tied up in the cage with her chimpanzee, and seeing the rope around Lotte's wrists causes the monkey to have a flashback to his parents being captured in the jungle. The set up for that was so unexpected. It's such a great movie.

Intestine Baalism - An Anatomy of the Beast

Hell yeah. It's hard to decide on an overall favorite, but for now I'll go with Dead Kennedys' "Forward to Death" closely tied with the Crucifucks' "Pig in a Blanket"

"Nervous Breakdown" is a classic. Keith Morris was brilliant on that song.

10/10 - Classic

8/10 - Somber melody, but used for it's comedic effect in movies so often that it's hard not to think of it that way.

2/10 - I liked it at first, but they sat on just that ONE RIFF throughout the whole song and it never went anywhere.

Well sure but that normally doesn't pose a problem for me. Maybe I just listened to it too late at night.

I was just kidding. It always sounds kinda smug and silly to me when people describe music or movies or whatever else as "inaccessible," so I was exaggerating a bit.
