Torgeist - Time of Sabbath (1995)
 

I don't know if it's worth a damn, not having tried it, but I've seen in my local that several of the better known foreign brewers like Paulaner and Weihenstephan are making non-alcoholic versions of their beer. If anyone can pull off a reliably decent tasting non-alcoholic, it's probably going to be one of them.
What's interesting about those breweries though, is because their beer is so "blah" in flavor, their quality control is absolutely topnotch. It has to be because being so lacking in actual flavor any deviation would be incredibly noticeable

Non-alcoholic beer is actually a big trend with the kids and breweries are ramping up production to match. Personally, I don't see the point, but whatever floats their boat. If I want something non-alcoholic, many better choices. But hey, for folks with legit medical reasons to avoid alcohol but still want to enjoy a beer, it's a boon.

After recent health scare and the fact that any amount of alcohol now induces crippling anxiety for at least 24 hours afterwards, I quit drinking around 3 months ago.  I have any zero alcohol option "beer" that is on offer in whatever place we are in at the time but the taste of these tings varies wildly from borderline tap water to completely OTT flavourings that are not well balanced.  Erdinger and Leffe are the pick of the bunch with San Miguel coming a distant third.  
Increasingly, when in bars with microbreweries or specialist draughts I find the zero alcohol stuff sells out pretty quickly suggesting they order/produce minimal amounts.  Prefer a green tea nowadays to be fair though.

Good band. Their 2021 album Svmma Cvm Nox Arcana made my year end list that year.
Yeah he could be pumping the old iron, or he could just be a dedicated hardcore wanker who does it lefty.

Vinyl palooza this weekend. That's what happens when I go out of town and my wife leaves me alone in proximity to a record store. Went in just to grab my daughter a couple for her birthday and walked out with a stack.

I am about ten or so listens in over a number of years and still sit on the fence.  The industrial and "post" elements work the best for me but I am not massive fans of either as individual genres.  The bm parts I can leave easily enough.  Somehow there is some sense of coherence in what on paper at least should be a very chaotic sounding record.

Hi Yannis, welcome.

Samael - Blood Ritual (1992) - Often overlooked for being much cleaner in production but I think it works really well with this almost blackened doom style.  Paired back from the debut to the point of being almost basic but still a thoroughly enjoyable black metal album.
Malevolent Creation - The Ten Commandments (1991) - I battle with Malevolent Creation if I am honest, probably because I came to them late and therefore they have offered very little colour to my already well established death metal palette.  Nothing wrong with this one though, plays as a thrashy Floridian dm record.
Civerous - Maze Envy (2024) - Stupid album name aside, this is a bit of a patchy release overall.  Album highlight Shrouded in Crystals is bookended by two instrumental tracks which smacks of filler straight away just 3 tracks in (on a 7 track release).  There's promise here though, just not very well represented on this canvas however.
