MacabreEternal

Thinking I should be pre-ordering the new Autopsy for the January release. New EP is a corker according to some of my FB friends posts. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

All this talk of single ladies and relationships! Look no further than our very own Relentless Oblivion, young, free and single. Absolute catch! Let's not get into me not being available, let's face it I might be an ageless vampire living out the centuries on the blood of Eastern Europeans but I am monogamous!

Thanks young lady.

That's what we "in the trade" term as Easy Meat. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Since the takeover at work I may need to learn French, German and Spanish as these are our next markets. Did quite enjoy French at school but couldn't get by in it nowadays without learning again (school was over 22 years ago). Quite looking forward to the prospect of learning something new.

Immortal Bird "Empress/Abscess"

I don't recall ever having a hotel breakfast that satisfied. I stay in hotels every week and the one thing that is consistent is how poor the breakfast is. This in the main is the reason for my cannibalism.

Gateway "Aeternae EP"

CHRCH "Unanswered Hymns"

Krallice "Orphan of Sickness"

Unleashed "Where No Life Dwells" - a bit too tame for me this album, I never get any real sense of life from the guitar sound either which is a shame because the potential is there.

Was that yes. Now on Chorizo Burgers.

Carnage "Dark Recollections"

Okay I have some downtime today so: MacabreEternal's Top Ten Albums of 1990 10 Entombed "Left Hand Path" - although I still hold this in high regard it has lost impact as the years roll by and I find myself drawn to "Clandestine" more as my Entombed go to album. But let's take nothing away from that guitar tone on this record and how those thrashy riffs blended perfectly with the relentless blastbeats of the drums whilst being complimented perfectly by Petrov's insane vocals. As appropriate a use of melody and atmosphere without detracting from the aggression involved as you could hope to find. 9 Pantera "Cowboys From Hell" - I remember seeing the vid to the title track on tv and going fucking mental in my front room at the time (i played that tape a hundred times that day I swear) so it was all my birthdays and Christmases come at once when I got my grubby mitts on this CD. The groove combined with the aggressive delivery of the songs proved sooooooooo addictive back then and although as I reflect now some 26 years after I first heard it with a much less blinkered view of it (there's filler galore on it) , there's still a massive place in my heart for this album (even though it is not my favourite of theirs). 8 Queensryche "Empire" - still rate it above "Operation Mindcrime" even though I recognise what a tour de force that record is. "Empire" was more accessible, more catchy and full of hooks and I just love it. It is one of the few albums both the girlfriend and myself can listen to together. 7 Judas Priest "Painkiller" - when I first heard this I thought all Judas Priest records sounded like this (quite a misguided introduction to them really). Duelling guitars, amazing drumming and Halford on top form. Showed life in the old dog for sure. 6 Danzig "II:Lucifuge" - despite all the melancholy on this record I still get the sense that Glenn was actually enjoying himself thoroughly when he was making this. One of those albums I could spin now and still have going round my head the same time next week. 5 Slayer "Seasons In The Abyss" - the last good Slayer record (yes I know not many agree). I spent hours holed in my room listening to this, furiously headbanging to "War Ensemble" and getting goose bumps listening to "Dead Skin Mask" before being floored by the closing (title) track. 4 Deicide "s/t" - still mental after all these years! 3 Sadus "Swallowed In Black" - should be on everyone's list for 1990. A simply superb offering of how technique can be shown without being a wankfest and how speed can delivered and kept coherent. 2 Carnage "Dark Recollections" - until 1991 when Dismember dropped "Like An Everflowing Stream" this shit was where it was at for me with Swedish DM. 1 Obituary "Cause Of Death" - no contest when it comes to the number one spot for me, this was (and remains) Obituary's finest hour and the absolute high point of releases in 1990. A step up in terms of refinement yet losing none of the brutality of the debut, "Cause Of Death" is full of thick/chunky riffs and simply inhuman vocals from Tardy. Benton and co might have released a great spazzing beast this year but it was nothing to the apocalypse of "Cause of Death".

Bell Witch "Four Phantoms" - this fucking destroys! Contender for album of the year for me. Guitarless doom that still sounds like a star collapsing in on itself.

Napalm Death "Apex Predator-Easy Meat"

Benediction "The Grand Leveller" EDIT Not in the mood for Benediction - onto Desolate Shrine "Heart of the Netherworld"

Asphyx "Last One On Earth"

To be fair it has settled well at the 20 mins point to the extent that the vocals aren't actually a problem. They fit the wacky mentality of the sound as a whole. As you say FA it is an album that is full of quirky melody but still grinds like a motherfucker.

!T.O.O.H! "Order & Punishment" - not heard this before and a few minutes in I am not sure I like it but I will stick with it. I am looking at BAN's Top 100 DM list and it's first on the list (although the list is in no particular order).

Nice work fella!

Okay, kind of late but "Hi Novembrine" - I have done my usual trick of waiting to see if you post anywhere else before looking for your introduction thread. Glad to see you posting regularly. Hope you are enjoying your time here?
