My ideal meal would be salmon with mac-n-cheese and my favorite drink to go with it would be a strawberry daiquri ( spelled wrong, oops!) 

Salmon and Mac and cheese huh? That sounds like a decent combination I'm gonna have to give that a try. True to form I am indulging in some late night Mexican food when my wife gets home. Debating between fajitas or shrimp rancheros.

I’ve got a cool Lately Eating story.

The countess came up from her parents’ beach house the other day and, to stop me spending too much money on dinners (I had grown weary of living with the in-laws and returned to the city early) we bought this Indian family pack from our favourite Indian restaurant which has a huge number of dishes for an amazing price.

Long story short, I’ve now eaten Indian food for 6 of my last 7 meals including breakfasts. I am so over Indian food right now I cant even look at it.

Well tonight I'm making my signature "Nuclear Blast Burgers". I won't give my secret recipe away but one of the ingredients is the Carolina Reaper Pepper.

Carolina Reaper Pepper? I'm intrigued by its name, but I'm also not a masochist. Does the nuclear blast occur when first tasting the burger or after it has been digested? Or both... and then some?

Well with a name so ominous I don't blame you for being wary. It is quite simply the hottest chilli pepper on the planet. To give a rough idea it's about 300 times hotter then a jalapeno. Yes that means a nuclear blast on the way in and the way out.

Hottest on the planet!? I'm not sure if you're brave or depraved.

But I'll just stick to my classic Dimmu Burger w/ cheese then, for it is only ever accompanied by the occasional Stormblast.

Well the answer is I'm just crazy. At least I learned that I don't need anywhere near as much chilli using those peppers. I'd normally use 2 or 3 normal chillies and with these 1/2 of 1 is sufficient.

That sounds awesome! One of my co-workers at Domino's gave me some Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion and Ghost Pepper powder, he sprinkled some Carolina Reaper on a slice of pizza and it does taste really nice, then the heat kicked in :D I can see it being good in Chilli's aswell, i'll have to try it at some point, anything else you've tried making with them?

No I only bought them yesterday. I wonder how powdering it affects the heat because those damn peppers damn near blew my head off.

    • 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
