RelentlessOblivion

1. Running Wild - Chains & Leather 2. Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name 3. Judas Priest - Exciter 4. Deep Purple - Highway Star 5. Fates Warning - Fata Morgana 6. Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger 7. Sanctuary - Soldiers of Steel 8. Omen - The Axeman 9. Steel Attack - Winter Hell 10. Crimson Glory - Lady of Winter

Satan's Host - By the Hands of the Devil Dark and evil sounding power metal which borrows a lot of elements from black metal. This is a formidable album which may cause some power metal haters to re-think their stance. Grave Digger - The Grave Digger Another hard hitting power metal album, now why on Earth are there so many sugary sweet power metal bands out there when the genre could be done like this instead? Mastery - Lethal Legacy EP A shame they couldn't keep this quality up. Savage and complex thrashing riffs from start to finish.

Good to see you again Nat, hope you're doing ok.

Obituary - Cause of Death

Well Marty sure killed it on RIP but I never got into megadeth after that album, and truth be told the only Megadeth records I think are worth a damn are the debut KIMB and RIP. Anyways just bought my tickets for Obituary and now I hear Carcass are coming to Adelaide in early Feb and apparently the setlist is nothing but tracks from Necroticism and Heartwork.

Slayer - Angel of Death

Was just looking at my 'bucket list' of things I want to do before losing my sight, and then the standard things I want to do before I die. God damn I'd better get fucking started fucking thing is nearly 3 pages long and that's after removing the things I already did (scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef, skydive, hot lap in a V8 supercar, climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, dive with sharks).

The morning coffee, and in case anyone was wondering I like my coffee like my metal...black.

Blind Guardian - When Time Stands Still at the Iron Hill

Waking up to sunlight streaming through my window and the sound of Kookaburras calling just reminded me how fortunate I am to live in Australia. I live in a country where I'll never go hungry, always have clean water to drink, and can walk the streets without fear of violence breaking out. Too many around the world aren't so lucky.

Satan's Host - By the Hands of the Devil Why isn't more power metal like this? It's dark, heavy, evil sounding stuff borrowing some elements from black metal.

I'm starting to think it's a bit too cliché to base so many of my lyrics off horror movies and stories, but then again what lyrical content isn't cliché in metal these days?

Grim Reaper - Fear No Evil Hell - Human Remains

Maybe our American friend has a different name for it? As for me I tend to avoid those things like the fucking plague. Ever tried ironing clothes without depth perception (another fun quirk of my eye condition) it tends not to end well.

Exciter - Heavy Metal Maniac
