We're in more progressive times. Besides, it's always breakfast somewhere.
Myself - about 4 fingers of Redemption High Rye Bourbon. Been a tough week.

Litterally got up to pour a bourbon. Should have stuck with gaseous imaginary animals I guess.

You snooze, you lose 😁

Dentists aren't the bastards they used to be. I had 4 partial teeth and two more the gum had grown over removed a few years ago and apart from the discomfort of what felt like 10 hands and enough tools to fill 3 tool chests shoved in my gob I barely felt anything.
In fact the biggest pain was the fact that the dentist made me watch the Food Network channel on the roof tv while he worked!!
 

OBITUARY - Dying Of Everything
 

That's the best 2 IMO. Should be super cheap too. The first album is pretty decent and has more of a long-form/spacey-psychedelia feel or almost prog bent of bands like Uriah Heep without being outright prog rock. Continues somewhat on Secret Treaties which has the excellent Astronomy. T&M seems to be written with a more radio-friendly angle and the progression to AoF and Mirrors seems evident on that one although I think the quality of songs overall is better on T&M than either of the other 2. They definitely have a weirder tinge than other bands at the time. Enjoyable if not daily listening type stuff.
ASG - Win Us Over
 

Sounds like you know what you're talking about. Both Deep Purple and BOC had tracks featured on Netflix's 1899, and made me want to investigate. Child in Time is pretty cool and I can see how it directly influenced Rob Halford. The vocal phrasing of the screamy bit is exactly the same as Dreamer Deceiver, one of my all time favourite songs. YMMV.
(Don't Fear) The Reaper was very recognisable, without ever knowing I'd heard it before. Great song.
But, if you reckon the first 3 are better then I am literally in no position to argue! Put bids on Secret Treaties and Agents, because there were no others listed at the moment.

Nine Circles has 3 new 22 EOY lists off the presses with some of the fine album that have been prominently featured in the lists here urging me to overspend in late December and early January including Zyklonius who used to post with us occasionally at M-F who was a great resource and metal bro of mine back in the pre M-F days over at Head-Fi with the likes of Alex and Ferday. Man, the six degrees of metal separation  goes back way deep.

G.B.H - City Baby attacked by Rats (1982)
 

The obituary (new album today!) I read of L-M-P said her mum and kid were scientologists...and she was married to Michael Jackson during the pedo-years, so perhaps not the sharpest knife in the drawer....but there is something sad about Elvis' name dying with her. Pretty young too. Oof.
So far bought this morning:
The Coral Tombs | Ahab (bandcamp.com)
New album released today. I used to like these guys about 15 years ago but never bought an album until today. That was back when I was illegal downloader scum. For the kids today who would rather stream music on Spotify or Apple Music, which is technically "legal" but pays artists practically the same (i.e. nothing), you are the new scum.
The Stench of Redemption | Deicide (bandcamp.com)
Inexplicably my favourite of the Deicide output.
...and waiting for the pre-order of new Obituary to release. Goddamn, the day (Friday 13th!) is over for half the world and I'm still waiting for those Floridian wastrels to wake up and press the release button.

Mayhem - From the Darkest Past
Emperor - High Wycombe 1993

AC/DC - BiB

Yeah they were marketing them as the next Zeppelin back in the beginning. I was in middle school at the time so I got pretty excited thinking I'd have a new heavy band to add to my very small arsenal of heavy bands. Caress of Steel was my first Rush album purchase based on numerous glowing rock mag reviews. This would have been 9th grade, 1975, the year you were born I was 14 yo. I hadn't ever actually heard the band until I got the record home. I did learn to like Bastille Day a little bit, but I couldn't get into any of the rest of it. A Zeppelin clone they were not.
I fell prey to the rock critics' exuberant gushing again the following year and bought 2112 as well, but I didn't like that one any better. Syrinx and Bangcock were like the only two songs I would ever play, but only because I had already spent the money for the record so I was trying to make lemonade out of lemons. I guess I've always disliked prog rock right from the very beginning, and in Rush's case specifically I found Geddy's shrill voice all but unlistenable. I get that they're great musicians and everything, but I dont care about all that.
For context I'll add that in '75 I had Sabbath's Sabotage on repeat most of the time, and then in '76 I had the Ramones debut on repeat constantly. I wanted everything faster and heavier and louder than everything else at all times and there were very few rock bands back then who could give me what I was looking for. I didn't buy any more new Rush albums after that, but I might have acquired a couple of used ones cheap at some point. I believe I remember seeing vinyl copies of Fly By Night and Moving Pictures floating around in the 80's. Hard to remember whose records were whose back then, we each brought records into the house separately and then they'd all end up mixed together in one big pile.
I have a very good friend Bob off the board who like you is a Rush fanatic. He'd frequently have Rush playing in the car to get me to listen to them. He had a crush on that Strangiato song I think, he had some live version of it playing quite a few times. We used to bust each other's balls about our love/hate (respectively) for the band a lot. But we've kinda stopped in recent years because after Neil died he took it pretty hard at the time and I didn't want to come off like an insensitive dick so it wasn't fun to bash them anymore. But don't worry, we have plenty of other bands he likes that I hate that we can go back and forth about if we want.
Funny, when my late wife "discovered" Rush about a decade ago (she wasn't even born yet when Moving Pictures came out) and then realized that I couldn't stand them, she'd always reach over and turn up the car radio anytime Tom Sawyer or Limelight or Spirit of Radio came on. I guess I must just have a way of inspiring that kind of thing in people, they want to see me suffer.

I dig it. I've been going through albums I saved on my BC wishlist. Not sure why I saved it-maybe  an end of year list or might have been off my feed. I'll save albums I see you, Hungus, Zack , Navy own. In fact, I grabbed Nocturnal Triumph that I saw on my feed from last January. I noticed it was on your 22 list. I've been playing it all year-it's good-based on the fact that you bought it and I know the underground stuff you own I usually enjoy--I've got a pretty good batting average getting albums that way. 

I endorse this sentiment 
Very much Zeppelin esque. The only album I see up your alley is Caress of Steel which did have Anthem and Bastille Day, two of their heaviest songs. The Trees is on Hemispheres, Red Barchetta is on Moving Pictures.
Rush actually got a lot of negative criticism after the first album for being a Zeppelin knock off. They consciously decided to change direction, fired the original drummer, and replaced him with arguably the greatest rock drummer of all time who was also a stellar lyricist.

They're one of my favorite bands, and metal is my favorite kind of music, so they must be metal, right? I didn't need a Kerrang cover to tell me that.
