  1. Sarcofagus - Envoy of Death Savage - Hyperactive No Future, No Past - Finnish Speed & Thrash Metal Explosion 1986-1992
  2. Set I saw Saturday night was only from the first 3 albums. Might have to pick those up. Another show tonight. Goth night with the girls. First local show I've ever managed to get the wife to. Twin Tribes - Pendulum Urban Heat - Wellness
  3. Rotting Christ - Triarchy of the Lost Lovers Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract
  4. Controversial, but I think Luciferian Crown is the best thing they have ever done.
  5. One of the worst live bands I've ever seen. Not a fan of Deicide at all, but I get the hype. Glenn was a frontrunner in the Florida death metal scene and a master of publicly. I remember the news stories when he carved the upside down cross in his forehead, was burning bibles, etc. Perfect sorta shit to draw outrage and attention in religiously charged central Florida in the early 90s. The music was completely mediocre but had all the blasphemy you can handle. So naturally kids gravitated to something that pissed off all the right people. He gets the love for being one of the first and people being nostalgic for a time when DM was controversial, satanic, and new. Has to be because the music, aside from Legion which is serviceable, is meh.
  6. Show wrapped last night. Would've posted a small summary, but I was well past my limit of cheap beer. I think the appropriate term is piss drunk. Regardless, day 3 was the best of the week. Highlights - Sodom, Demolition Hammer, and Rotting Christ. Darvaza was pretty decent too. Didn't get excited about Tank, though the rest of the fest seemed to enjoy them quite a bit. Also didn't get much for Forbidden, mainly because they only have 1 song I even remember and secondly because who the fuck can follow DH after they level the place. Surprise of the day was Rotting Christ. Never seen them or listened to them much. Pretty freaking great. Overall show highlights aside from the above - Queensryche (the early stuff kills live and after seeing them both I think I prefer LaTorre to Tate), Lamp of Murmur (pulled it off live), Candlemass, Sumerlands, Savage Oath, and Autopsy. 6th year here and it just keeps getting bigger. Some growing pains and capacity issues at the venue, but they have always been good at working those things out between years. Up there with MDF for quality run organized festival by good people. If you're shopping for a fest to hit next year, can recommend.
  7. Currently Solitude Aeturnus. Not much of a fan, but fest day 2. Highlights so far: Candlemass with the Nightfall set, Eternal Champion with Ravening Iron start to finish, Occult Burial and their early Bathory worship, Lamp of Murmur. Up next is fuckin Queensryche playing the EP and The Warning. I am way past my limit of Lonestar for the day.... Tomorrow gets better with Demolition Hammer and Sodom.
  8. Probably my favorite PT gun to my head

  14. Huoripukki - Ikuinen Kamppailu Destruction - Sentence of Death Dead Congregation - Promulgation of the Fall
  15. As it goes - opinions are like assholes, everyone has a shitty one... Most of what I would consider "perfect" or "unskippable" I'm sure would fall out of your wheelhouse and most likely the opposite is true. NBD. Fortunately, we both passed the metalhead certification test years ago. Enslaved - Mardraum
  16. Circle of Ouroborus - MatterEther Hypnosia - Extreme Hatred Arnaut Pavle - Arnaut Pavle
  17. @Nasty_Cabbage bringing the fucking Nina Simone! Cheers mate. Great stuff. Fornicus - Sulphuric Omnipotence Scourge Lair - One Hundred Eyes One Hundred Arms (demo) Judas Iscariot - To Embrace the Corpses Bleeding Non-skipper albums for me: Sad Wings NOTB Piece of Mind Seventh Son
  18. Starcave - Final Sins Then I remembered it's the only day we tolerate those filthy Irish. So now I'm spinning some Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's drinking Irish whiskey. Slàinte Mhath gents.
  19. Monster Magnet... now I can get down with that. Let's throw on some Tab and Spine of God. JP playlist game: Winter/Deep Freeze Victim of Changes Call for the Priest/Let us Prey Beyond the Realms of Death Delivering the Goods The Rage Heading out to the Highway Screaming for Vengeance The Sentinel Out in the Cold Painkiller Judas Rising Honestly though, I can just throw on everything from Rocka Rolla through Defenders with a few select tracks from everything after and be good. Not my favorite band of all time, but I do listen to quite a bit of JP. I was late to the game on them along with most other late 60's-70's rock. That was my dad's music so I wanted my own stuff. Aside from VH, I was into Twisted Sister, Ratt, Helloween, Maiden, AC/DC, Queensryche, Def Leppard, and of course Rush. Only in the last 6-7 years have I gotten into older Scorpions, BOC, Uriah Heep, Priest etc. All of it is perfectly serviceable and good for a playlist. Rare I want to listen to a full album start to finish. Yes, yes, yes, fuck Weather Report, yes, yes... Throw in some Brand X, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Eric Dolphy, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Return to Forever, Stanley Clark, John Coltrane, and Al di Meola and call it a day.
  20. Qualifies for most punk bands too. Lots of options for the kid.
  21. It's all front loaded, so yeah I'd give this one a solid DD.
  22. @JonoBlade - exactly this. The end of the album/latter half - the songs all kinda run together/are indistinguishable. Side 1 as an EP, I'm all in. Side 2 I can skip.
  23. Had the same thought. Album lost steam about halfway through. Still a solid effort for a bunch of geezers.
  24. Mortiferum - Preserved in Torment
  25. Wrathblade - Into the Netherworld's Realm Black Viper - Hellions of Fire
