  1. Humanity's End - Between Life and Death, Detroit death metal 2017
  2. The entire year of 2024 so far has absolutely happened. Unless "so far" is just too abstract of a concept for you to understand.
  3. True, but I'd also be willing to bet good money that my hypothesis also holdeth true for the entire year of 2024 so far. Although I couldn't possibly be fucked to do the research and prove this hypothesis, nor could anyone else. So I guess we'll never know for certain. But I'm firmly convinced that thrash is easily the most common denominator on this board. Simply because most of the people here such as myself who promote the black arts, also like and post other sub-genres like thrash and death and what have you. While almost all of the most fervent thrash maniacs here wouldn't ever dream of posting a black metal album. Boethiah - Invocation of the Xenolith, Californian death metal 2018
  4. Drowned out? I bet if you went through all the forum posts for the entire last week you'd find there has been more thrash posted here than black metal by a considerable margin.
  5. Eraserhead - Remnants of Decadence, Germany 2016 Revel in Flesh - Emissary of All Plagues, Germany 2016
  6. Iron Monkey/Church of Misery Split 1999 Dopethrone - Hochelaga, Montreal 2015
  7. Now that's using the old noggin'. We need to put the fun, danger and unpredictability back into sportsball. As long as they have the Narcan crew standing by on the sidelines in case of accidental opioid overdoses 'n such, what could possibly go wrong?
  8. Groove it up homeboy! Iron Monkey - Iron Monkey, Nottingham UK 1997 Iron Monkey -Our Problem 1998
  9. Why does anyone really care if some of the players are doing drugs? As long as they're not high during the games while they're actually on the field, but even that might be fairly entertaining. Seems like a lot of pearl clutching and virtue signaling over nothing more than than some trivial nonsense. Rock stars have been ingesting copious amounts of illegal drugs for decades and no one has ever given a shit. Even when they've OD'd and dropped dead no one cares. Imagine if they drug tested rock stars before a concert and wouldn't let bands perform if they pissed dirty?
  10. So now you hate synths and kittens too? What kind of monster are you?
  11. I predict that it won't make an appearance on your end of year list. Because it's a December 2023 album. I remember Doc really hating this one but I really liked it. Dreary cloudy day today, raining off and on, high 40's (8°C) was supposed to go to Home Depot and grab a can of paint and some trim pieces today but I don't feel like it, so I think I'm just gonna stay home and throw this one on right now and enjoy it with my coffee. Kid starts his Easter vacation tomorrow so this'll be my last alone time for the next 10 days.
  12. It was so bad I'd just assumed you had posted it ironically.
  13. But why's Miles doing a tribute to the 1910's heavyweight champ? Of course you do 🙄 I hear brutal I click. It has its moments I guess, but overall there's no catchiness, no groove. I'm only 5 minutes in though, maybe it'll get better. I really like the album cover though.
  14. Oof. Well I guess we won't have to wonder why these Nashvillians' career never went anywhere. Only maybe JT could possibly love something like this because they're good ole southern boys like him. NP: Necroracle - Arcane Impious Sorceries, black/death Spain. This is more my speed.
  15. They look like dweebs but I don't really mind this. I can absolutely hear the Iron Monkey influence in here. Simple chunky riffs generally work for me, although these might be too simple. But it's only one song. I see they have an EP and a full length out, they're probably not gonna be my find of the month, but maybe I'll try one of them later after dinner. Swamp Coffin - Welcome to Rot FFS you can't expect us to just pass up low hanging fruit like this Doc. (or a low hanging organ 🍆) But this one hangs so low it might be a bit beneath even me, so maybe I'll leave the more obvious jokes to the Orca.
  16. These Belgians did an album in 2018 called Blood Oath that I really loved. Played the shit out of it. I missed that they'd put out a follow-up in 2021 until I heard this new one a couple of months ago. Still love the debut, but neither of the two subsequent releases do anything at all for me. Booooooring. I hate when this happens, but it happens all the time, which I why I have no band loyalty. In my world you're only as good as your last album or two. And two shitty albums in a row means you're effectively dead to me. Rituals of the Dead Hand - Blood Oath, black/doom 2018 Belgium Those 3 bands sound totally different to me, so I'm not sure which vein you'd be referring to there JT. That one Iron Monkey album (Our Problem) is so badass though, might have to hit that one later. Should probably see if they have any others that are any good.
  17. Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses, 1992 Brutal Truth - Need to Control, 1994
  18. Neurosis & Jarboe, 2003, can't say that I have. Ask me in an hour.
  19. Coffins - Sinister Oath, Japan. The new one sounds as good as their last and is dropping Friday. Endless Loss – Traversing The Mephitic Artery, Australian black/death from Adelaide
  20. You really can't go wrong with any of them past 2006. That's my take anyway. LC is certainly a great album in my book.
  21. Here's what happened. One of the brothers who runs Hells Headbangers distro, Justin Horval (J-Dawg) has a YouTube channel. His videos are mostly either interviews with old school American death metal luminaries he corners outside of gigs in Cleveland Ohio where they're based, or they're 20 minute rants about sports jersey and flat brimmed ball cap wearing poseurs at shows and which bands are harder and more brutal and which bands send which other bands "home on a stretcher" as he likes to say. He's an idiot neanderthal basically. A short little puffed up body builder with an attitude. Says he's only 38 but he looks 50 with his thinning guido hair and Dumbo ears and big square head. Dude talks as if he was the original death metal fan from 1989 when he was actually just a toddler in preschool then. I click on his videos in my feed sometimes for their comedic value, and sometimes I'll leave comments basically telling him he's a idiot who's talking out of his ass. Except when he goes on his rants about how only the first 3 Death albums count as actually being death metal, or two and a half as he's on the fence about Spiritual Healing. That I basically agree with although I would never tell him that. So anyway the other day he posted a video. Usually he starts off with paid questions, for $10 he will answer your question or read whatever statement you've written aloud. But there were no "Paid scaroonies" that particular day so his wife and camera woman "Hellcat" had printed out some comments from some of his previous videos for him to read and comment on. I was only half paying attention, I was texting somebody when I realized he was reading one of MY comments I'd made regarding Deicide. I'd asked him what's the deal Dawg, did Glen Benton blow you once? Why does he just harp on Deicide over and over on every single video as if they were all that? They wouldn't even be among my top 500 death metal bands. With so many other quality death metal bands to talk about in the last 30 years, why the fuck are we spending so much airtime on those has-beens? It's always Deicide and Cannibal those seem to be his two pet bands, along with Dismember and King Diamond and he seems to like a lot of goregrind too like Hemorrhage. So he said something about how I probably looooove Bolt Thrower (was that supposed to be a diss?) and then went on a rant about how if you don't like Deicide then you don't really like death metal. There's just no good reason why any true death metal fan who's not a complete poseur shouldn't worship them and count them among their favorite bands. But then he paused and laughed at my "they're not even in my 500 top favorite dm bands" line saying he realized that was hyperbole and he admitted that he exaggerates a lot too and is probably even more prone to hyperbole than I am, which I know isn't easy. I got a kick out of that brief glimpse of self awareness from a blockhead. Some of his "fans" have apparently started calling him "Sponge" in the comments, short for Sponge Bob Square Head, and he can't quite figure out what that means, these kids are trolling him calling him a blockhead, and he doesn't even get it. But after trashing Deicide so publicly, I figured I should at least probably brush up on their early stuff so I know what the fuck I'm talking about. That's the only reason I was listening to them last night, just to see where I currently stood on the mighty Deicide, because it had been a minute.
  22. Whore of Bethlehem (2006) used to be my clear favorite, but lately I've really grown quite fond of the most recent 3 or 4 going back to 2015. Especially the most recent full length, 2021's Worship the Eternal Darkness. But don't start there, go back to 2006 and start there with their first proper full length album release. Their earlier 90's EP's 'n stuff were much more raw and inaccessible, I almost never revisit that stuff.
  23. Future of Despair - S/T, hardcore/crust LA Dishönor - Chain Reaction, Mass Extinction EP, Greek d-beat/crust Dishönor - S/T, 2019, this kills if you're into this sort of thing. But I know most of you don't mess with the hardcore based stuff. I don't even care about the tryhard part, I'm able to ignore all of that nonsense, just stay above the fray. From a purely musical standpoint though I just don't like them, and I think they're boring. I haven't heard too many of their later albums, think I've heard about 5 of their 13 altogether so not quite half, but not a single note off of any their last 5. But judging by the first several that are supposed to be the best ones they're really just nothing special. And the worst part of their sound is Satan boy's vocals. For me anyway. Nothing worse than a vocalist who rubs you the wrong way splattered all over the top of everything. Not like you can just tune him out. So many better death metal bands out there to listen to, but there's a certain segment of the old school guys who absolutely revere them.
  24. Lock Up - Pleasures Pave Sewers, UK 1999 the band's debut. Lock Up - Hate Breeds Suffering, UK 2002. Shane Embury of Napalm Death's side band, this was the first album with Tomas Lindberg from AtG on vox. No Hotel California cover.
