We wring our hands at yet another failed harvest...!

A familiar lament in your grim and isolated parish, no doubt. Greenhouse burritos just aren't the same. Make sure you go to a place that has wild-grown burritos flown in fresh daily.

I mean, Macabre likes it, so I can't imagine it's any fun at all...

Tonight, i am having Chile Verde i made using 5 pounds of pork shoulder, hatch green chiles, canned tomatillos and about 8 hours in the slow cooker. I will consume this while listening to Sad Wings of Destiny. Man its good to not be vegan anymore. 
Dude, slow cooked pork, hot peppers, and prime Priest? Your fiancee is a lucky lady.

Sounds like she's done a great job. I don't know how well they turn out, but your recipes you post about always seem ambitious.

Fuck! You guys eat well!!

I am an irretrievable foodie. Id be willing to bet the percantage of my pay spent on food is seconded only by rent.

It's such a glorious food. The way my wife made it wasn't really authentic, but it still turned out pretty well. I work at a trucking company, and most people here at like shit. They give me funny looks when I bring a huge bag full of food that takes me some time to assemble, but then they comment on how good it smells and how lucky I am to have a wife that cooks. I wouldn't say that she's a great cook, but she spends an inordinate amount of time on Pinterest and tends to find some good recipes.

I work with a dude that grows his own peppers, and his chile verde is magnificent. It's so great if you do it right. He's nice enough to just bring it to his coworkers that can appreciate the heat, as well as keeping us stocked up on peppers.

I don't think this guy grows any hatch chilis, but those are tasty. His bhut jolokia peppers are insanely flavorful, as are these red chilis he grows that I can't recall the name of at the moment. Garden salsa maybe? Super tasty.

Those are just about the most perfect peppers for balancing heat and flavor. Love them.

    • 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!

      3/5

    • 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
