Mine means I was was brain dead at the time and did not think it would be used as my username...
Actually, I think you can change it. I know apocalypse922 changed his to Apoc because that was what we called him anyway. RelentlessOblivion used to be named murph1990, which is why we keep calling him murph.

So the question is, what should Vanessa pick? Something descriptive, like KiwiOfDoom? Something a bit more personal, like MostMetalMommy? This is a crucial step, and we should help as much as possible.

Something a bit more personal' date=' like MostMetalMommy?[/quote'] That would kick ass. For other sites I call myself Ironskull, which stuck me as a good way of using synonyms or at least words with similar meanings to create a word that sounded cooler than 'metalhead'. I might also use Osmium at some point because it's the densest metal and prog is the densest of metal genres - the most tightly packed with awesomeness and complexity.

So we're looking for a more poetic way of saying "dense skull"... something... I've got it! Legendary Christian prog group THICKHËAD releases new EP, "From Eeyore To Pegasus"!!! When asked why his group hadn't released a full-length, frontman Osmium Skull stated that it was "not physically possible" and that "anything heavier would affect the orbit of the planet, potentially killing millions".

I had guessed it might be that your name was Julie in real life... is it actually that you just like eating dead people? Just trying to come up with a good waffle recipe. :D
Nope, not Julie. Bree! Can you make me some meat waffles? Just mix up some kind of meat and shove it in there waffle maker. ^____^

Dude think about it. Maybe some ground beef and pork' date=' some nice seasonings, make almost a meatball sort of mixture and squeeze it into a waffle iron, out it comes crispy and delish, meat waffle![/quote'] Where I come from we call a flat disc of ground meat a 'hamburger'. But that might just be my unique cultural experience.

nooo totally different than a burger patty. Meatbally mixture with some egg and herbs and breadcrumbs and stuff, pluuusssss waffle irons create more surface area than a burger patty thus creating more crispy crunch. it's totally different. I'll convince you to love my meat waffles eventually. that sounds so bad. XD

It's something different when you put it in a waffle maker. I know Ghouly will not be able to come over from the West Coast for breakfast with my family, but I'm seriously considering trying to make savory waffles out of fish cakes.

Hamburgers are not typically grilled from two sides simultaneously, and aren't served for breakfast. I'm not sure how the waffles that you usually eat look, but most burgers aren't larger around the edges, nor do they have square indentations as grill marks. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

daww thank you! Dude think about it. Maybe some ground beef and pork, some nice seasonings, make almost a meatball sort of mixture and squeeze it into a waffle iron, out it comes crispy and delish, meat waffle!
Oh, I've thought about it, I just ate and my mouth is watering. Breakfast needs more meat variety, I think this is the answer. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
