Cheers BAN. Most interested in their BM sounding stuff tbh but that prog epic jumps out also.

So where would you recommend I go next with them?

I am learning still with Sigh. As I said elsewhere the sheer absurdity of what they do has me interested. Their ability to fuck about so much yet create something so memorable and clever is a great act to pull off.

Cynic "Kindly Bent To Free Us"

Sigh "Gallows Gallery" Amorphis "Karellian Isthmus" Edguy "Space Police - Defenders of the Crown" (shut up!)

Coffinworm "iv.i.vii"

^Fucking cracking!NP Coffinworm "IV.I.VII"

Have you not been drawn to any Viking/Folk metal as a result of your studies? I studied some poetry at A-Level (20+ years ago) and remember only William Blakes amazing poems about war to be honest but did dabble in writing some of my own back then as a result - from memory even got some published in the student mag, I was the editor though!

Gost "Nocturnal Shift EP" - not as blistering as some of his other electro but still entertaining in a dramatic retro 80s film soundtrack kind of a way!

Some solid references to some great albums here especially Priest albums - "Sad...." and "Stained Class" are absolute classics IMO. I gave up with Slayer after "Seasons..." although I am told "Divine Intervention" is decent too, Metallica lost total credibility after the black album but their first 4 albums are absolutely essential (even though flawed in places). Megadave deserve props too but they are hindered by having a right knob for a leader. Seriously I would rather live next door to a terrorist cell than live next door to Dave Mustaine! Welcome aboard, what are you studying?

Forgot to quote in previous post.

Edguy's latest album. Powerful and catchy as fook! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Sigh "Gallows Gallery". First experience of them, no idea what to expect, 1 track in and it's real treat so far. Quirky, proggy, rocky, cabaret, cheesy, catchy, hooky, entertaining and pleasing.

Virvel Av Morkerhatet "Forsaken Hate Sickness"

Yeah but things are not good financially I have discovered, somebody decided to build a new hospital and funding for that has come out of every pot we had as an organisation and to fund this new project existing wards will have to be shut. If this is the kind of leadership we have at present then I am not sure I want to be a part of it much longer.

Aevangelist "Omen Ex Simulacra" Still having a hard time getting to grips with this album, I like a lot to be going on in my music but even I have my limits. The balance of eerie sound effects and noise against actual instrument playing time and song structure is tested here to the point of near irritation. That having been said when they get it right it works a treat but on the whole I still find myself wanting to like it a lot more than I actually do!

By who? Are you always so servile?

Big, hurried and flustered meeting called today at 4pm at work. We are to under go a "corporate review" and need to lose 30% of our backroom function. It is not envisaged that this will occur as a result of natural waste (retirement for example) so the board have even offered voluntary redundancy. I'm quite pleased and will gladly throw my hat in the ring when the redundancy strikes. 40k+ in my pocket = a few qualifications and me going it alone as a contractor methinks.

Tsjuder "Demonic Possession"

Matricide "Black Mass Gathering"
