Judas Priest - Painkiller

Rush - Moving Pictures

Nuclear Assault - Handle With Care

I've been summed up in various ways over the years - the latest being my son 'with yer cool sunglasses and cool leather coat you look like a hipster, but we know you are in fact just an oddball' - but this actually gets pretty close to the essence of Thatguy too.

Akhlys - The Dreaming I (2015)
 

Couch Slut is great live. Saw them in a small dungeon of a club with Imperial Triumphant last year.
Little different styles. Tiamat started as a death/doom outfit and Samael was black metal, but they do have some similarities. Also Tiamat hails from Sweden, Samael from Switzerland. Not sure how much interplay they had to influence each other, but it's definitely possible. Interestingly, they had similar career arcs moving towards a more electronic sound far from where they originated.
If you dig that sound, this might be up your alley. One of my favorites along the lines of very early Samael.

Akhlys - Supplication (2019)
 

TEPPEBOMBE - Teppebombe
 

VARIOUS ARTISTS - Greetings From Sweden Vol. 2
 

Yep. This looks like a cat who rules the household.
I've been away - in Launceston looking after my brother-in-law who just had a hip replacement - and I've listened to many things. The two to mention are:-
NIGREDO - Flesh Torn - Spirit Pierced
LAUGHING CLOWNS - Law Of Nature
 

Looks friendlier than my little hellbeast Siamese. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post a pic so a Link will have to do.

Starting of my night with my favorite chic. Belinda Carlisle and the Go-Go's. Picked up a first press of Beauty and the Beat for $10 today. Not the cleanest copy, but works for me. Then maybe The Cult - Dreamtime, Twin Tribes - Pendulum, Sturgill Simpson - Cutting Grass Vol. 1, and finish it of with Phillipe Entremont's rendition of Greig: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra and in A minor.

listening to pre released tracks on Bandcamp on a couple of my favorite bands:
Sumac/The Healer
Couch Slut/You Could Do It Tonight

Samael and Tiamat were contemporaries. Both formed in 1987. Samael got their first EP out in 1988 with Medieval Prophecy, but Tiamat was the first to get a proper full length out (Sumerian City - 1990). Samael came in a year later with their full length Worship Him - 1991.

Elegant Gypsie > Casino, but you can't go wrong either way.

Samael - Blood Ritual (1992) - Often overlooked for being much cleaner in production but I think it works really well with this almost blackened doom style.  Paired back from the debut to the point of being almost basic but still a thoroughly enjoyable black metal album.
Malevolent Creation - The Ten Commandments (1991) - I battle with Malevolent Creation if I am honest, probably because I came to them late and therefore they have offered very little colour to my already well established death metal palette.  Nothing wrong with this one though, plays as a thrashy Floridian dm record.
Civerous - Maze Envy (2024) - Stupid album name aside, this is a bit of a patchy release overall.  Album highlight Shrouded in Crystals is bookended by two instrumental tracks which smacks of filler straight away just 3 tracks in (on a 7 track release).  There's promise here though, just not very well represented on this canvas however.

Razor - Evil Invaders, Canada 1985
 
Razor - Violent Restitution, 1988
