Will second: Some non-metal Verdi - Prelude to Act 1 : La Traviata Just one of the finest pieces of classical music I have ever heard. Those lush strings that come in around the 1:20 mark just grab me by the throat every time. Damn. Little Richard - Send Me Some Lovin The "glamourous" lifestyle of living in hotels hundreds of miles away from home, usually led to me looking down that long, dank corridor of depression. Wanting to be nowhere but home with the ones you love is a fucking killer and the more positive nature to the tongue in cheek side of Little Richard used to pick me up just enough when needed. Glaare - Iksy (from To Deaf and Day) Those haunting synths and those ethereal vocals that grow stronger as the track progresses are just a wonderful combination that connect so well with me. A wonderfully restrained and balanced piece of music that makes me feel a real connection with the artists.

We could be here a while. Akhlys - Somniloquy (from Melinoe) The start of this track proper after the faded up intro. Just the sense that I am being cast into the bowels of every skin-crawling nightmare ever dreamt as that ghastly howl and mining riff starts: Altarage - Altars (from Nihil) One of the nastiest opening riffs ever committed to tape. Here be an absolute "fuck you" to my comfort zone and let's take a couple more steps forward to really drive that blade home. Slayer - Dead Skin Mask (from Season in the Abyss) I have never been able to cope with the kid crying on this track. When I was a kid listening to this in my bedroom I genuinely thought it was a kid trapped in my room somewhere. Even as a grown up I find this unsettling still. Asphyx - Serenade in Lead (from Last One On Earth) The bit from 01:25 into the track is just all the back of car seat fumbles, unexpected one beer left in the fridge and lost a fiver and found a tenner moments from my whole life rolled into one: Dismember - Override of the Overture (from Like an Ever Flowing Stream) That section at 03:20 is one of the most memorable pieces of Swedish death metal ever written. It says "STOP WHATEVER THE FUCK IT IS THAT YOU ARE DOING AND LISTEN TO ME DICKHEAD!" I'll be back.

Treha Sektori - Rejet (2021)

Ah thanks. I was on that page earlier and missed that, dumbass that I am.

Altarage - Worst Case Scenario landed 15th Sep. I missed their vinyl only release in 2022 (the dickheads) and so this is the first new album since the excellent Succumb. https://altarage.bandcamp.com/album/worst-case-scenario Suffocation - Hymns From The Apocryphia due out 3rd Nov. Single they released sounds decent enough. Not ground-breaking but still Suffocation.https://suffocation.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-from-the-apocrypha
