I'll have some extra sacrifices this week. But put in a good word with me in the mean time.

We've got a 10:30 Teams call today. I'll do what I can.

So how is the new Wode Navy? I'm almost afraid to go listen for myself, I've heard troubling reports that it's not the same ole Wode we know and love. I trust you to give it to me straight. I can take it.

It's not Servants of the Countercosmos, but it's not as bad as the latest UADA or anything. I pre-ordered based on the fact it was Wode. I mean no way it won't be good right? I wouldn't have bought it had I a chance to listen to the whole thing first. Every damn time I pre-order it ends up being a disappointment.

I can't see you liking it.

Literally an addiction that seems to release metal-enjoyment endorphins into the blood stream. Pressure release, a middle figure to life's frustrations and a celebration of mortality and a way to rage against and embrace the absurdity of the void. 

You forgot Satan. He's going to be upset.

Somme will float your boat.

1914 is another.

Sodom anyone?

Panzerfaust is pretty great, but as always, Bolt Thrower is the correct answer.

I finally started warming up to them after hearing "July Morning" blaring through terrible speakers at a nearby liquor store. Something about the speaker cone distortion really brought it home for me. Any albums in particular that you'd recommend?

Sweet Freedom and Demons & Wizards are all you need. I do like The Magician's Birthday and Very Heavy, Very Humble but I rarely reach for them.

Picked up the vinyl reissues of Bolt Thrower's For Victory & Mercenary and Mayhem - Dawn of the Black Hearts from Hell's Headbangers. Not that I don't already have the digital, cd, and surely the tapes (somewhere), but I didn't have them on vinyl. Oh, and the Spectral Wound vinyl is on the way too.

For April:

Eternal Champion - Ravening Iron (finally showed up - ordered in November)

Wode - Burn in Many Mirrors

Osees - Live at Henry Miller Library Big Sur

Nekromantheon - Visions of Trismegistos

Haapoja - Haapoja

Altar of Eden - The Grotto Screams

The Wraith - Gloom Ballet

The Gnosis - The Gnosis

Yuka Zolo - Bleed

Hollow Mirrors - s/t

Hallas - Tales of Future Past (vinyl because I already had the cd but needed the vinyl)

My name is Don and I am an addict.

Hahaha, raping their instruments with no thought of making music, just some trash thrown together, eh?

I think if you were to listen a little closer you might find there are indeed many musical ideas present in most black metal. But it's not for everyone I suppose.

This sounds melodic as fuck to me. Probably my favorite black metal album of the last decade. A masterpiece of lush soundscapes. Couldn't get enough of this one back in '15. It's not black & roll like Satyricon though so be warned.

 

Murg fucking rules. I was blasting Stravan first thing this morning much to the dismay of my 90 year old neighbors.

Maybe not everyone's idea of black metal, but I'm really digging the new Mork (Katedralan). Riffs upon riffs upon riffs.

Another Metal-fi refuge and hope to make this place wicked gnarly and dripping with goat blood! 

Pretty much everything I will post is tongue in cheek if it seems ridiculous it probably is, but I am a big believer in civil discourse mutual respect and eviscerating any one who lover proggy-jazz avant metal, post-black-gaze and obviously metalcore. See what I did there? Was just joshing. But not really. No for reals I try to be nice because as the t-shirt says 'Mean People Suck' or was it 'No Fat Chicks'? I think I have both. 

Hungarian Ghoulash is best with goat meat.

I haven't been able to listen to anything on my own this past week, but I did get to introduce my dad to Gentle Giant's "The Power And The Glory", Return To Forever's "Where Have I Known You Before", and some Tigran Hamasyan. Also, my son has decided he doesn't like Rush. I don't know if this relationship is going to work.

Write him out of the will. No one who dislikes Rush is worthy of inheritance.

One the drive home from getting shitfaced on a Sunday (also known as playing golf):

Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence

Demolition Hammer, Mercyful Fate, Black Witchery

You make a bad impression? Certainly not.

I would say that I will miss the sour old apple eater, but his schtick does get to wearing on you after 5 years or so. Hopefully the rest of the gang will come along soon enough.

Circle of Ouroborous - Unituli

Already pissing in your new bed...

That Spectral Wound is pretty special.

I think this was my top black metal(ish) choice last year if I remember correctly

Yeah, FNG here. Not metal pickups, but I did grab a couple of good older prog albums today.

U.K. - U.K.

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You

Also grabbed Uriah Heap - Sweet Freedom the other day.

Okay, it's me. I'm another refuge too attached to these new wanks to not talk shit with them on the regular. I reside in the geographic sweatbox that is North Florida and travel as much as possible, mostly to watch live gigs.

I'm into all kinds of metal, love goats, Satan, and firmly believe Geddy Lee is in fact god. I am also very bad at introductions, so that will have to do. I do hereby solemnly swear to apologize whenever I'm an asshole, lend audio wankery intel whenever I can, and promise to be a responsible internet forum citizen. If not, I will sacrifice 53 virgins on the first full moon after my buffoonery.
