Agreed. It's a true classic.

Behemoth - The Satanist

Just watched that myself and now I'm playing Leprosy.

Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua

Rotting Christ - Rituals

Officium Triste - The Death Of Gaia

Black Royal - Firebride

Konvent - Puritan Masochism again, can't get enough of it!

Have you tried any Vallenfyre? Its PL guitarist's Greg's other band. No clean singing

I quite enjoyed Medusa but I agree this album is much better. My favourite track is The Devil Embraced so far. Can't stop listening though!

At 50 years old, metal has always been there for me. Fashions come and go but metal is just there, mutating, evolving like it itself is a living thing and in that way it is spiritual to me. I have a disorder called Schizoaffective (its like a mix of schizophrenia and bipolar) and when things get bad for me I can turn the 'spirit' that metal feeds me with into all sorts of things. For example, on a simple practical level, metal is meant to be loud and that very physical loudness can block out the voices I hear. Or maybe the raw aggression can fuel me into making it through the day but it is the spiritual, meditative feeling I get from playing metal in order to rest that helps me most of all. Simply, I feel calm when metal is playing and that allows me to sleep when all the meds in the world don;t help.

Belphegor - Conjuring The Dead

Temple of Void - The World That Was

Swallow The Sun - When A Shadow Is Forced Into Light

New Paradise Lost album dropped today:

Indeed. I'm really enjoying it. The Devil Embraced is my favourite so far.

Behemoth - A Forest (cover of The Cure song)

Konvent - Puritam Masochism.

So I ordered a Vore t-shirt recently. I got an email from one of the band saying the tshirt I wanted wasn't in stock in my size and did I want a different one. I said yes and today arrived not only the tshirt but a free beenie to make up for not having the one I wanted in stock and also a handwritten letter from the band telling me how tracking was going on the new album! This is yet another reason to support the less well known bands - what great service and friendliness!

Konvent - Puritan Masochism (album).

Lake Of Tears - By The Black Sea (Live album)

I like it a lot. Solid riff, good vocal style and great lyrics. Well played lads, keep up the good work!

Its OK. I really enjoyed Sovran. This one is certainly not awful but it didn't do much to stir the soul which really great Gothic metal can. I'll check out the album once its released but I'm not expecting too much. Guess we'll see!

Its definitely got that '80s hardcore Thrash vibe. I thought it might be DRI. I can't make out the lyrics @JorisK but if you can have you tried googling them?
