Tu oses, Glaceni. 1. Je travaille pas à une fabrique nationale. Mon boulot est plus, PLUS, horrible que ça: je fais la vaisselle dans un restaurant pendant que mon employeuse sait rien à faire sauf que se plaindre de sa vie jusqu'à mes oreilles commencent à saigner. 2. Nos gaufres et chocolat sont notre fierté nationale, bien que je n'aie jamais vraiment aimé le chocolat Belge. Genoeg Frans gepraat voor vandaag.

:lol:Bah, j'ai travaille a un restaurant avec une femme dictatorial et blase, qui ne m'aime pas. Le sentiment a ete mutuel, c'est un bonne chose que je ne lui ai pas tuer avec mes nus mains. Avant cela j'ai eu travaller a McDo avec plus des psychopaths. And that pun 'Glaceni' was absolutely splendid.

Welcome. I missed this while I was at MDF' date=' but it looks like you've got good taste IMHO, hope to see you in some discussions.Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2[/quote']Thanks! Will do my best with my 60+ hrs/week. Really glad I found this forum. I work in the music industry so I can't complain.

Wow' date=' 60+ hours? Good on ye for bearing up under that schedule...[/quote'] That's my work schedule since taking over, and then I have a 3 month old baby at home when I'm done. I'm hoping to resume band practice next week, but my schedule is already pretty full. I can't see letting our songs go at this point, I sincerely love the new direction we're taking and it speaks to me like few things can, so I will find a way to make Nevertanezra work.

If I did 60 hrs/week for my current job I think I could handle it. It'd be a little dull but this university gig has been so much easier on me.

My day consists of a bit of everything, I multitask and do a few people's jobs in varied combinations. Some is physical, sorting freight, loading/unloading trucks, stacking pallets, etc... whereas the rest is more office oriented, customer service, data entry, HR, accounting, dispatch, payroll, scheduling, etc... I wear a headset phone, so I'm often talking with customers, entering orders, and loading/unloading freight all at once, and it usually takes me about 12 hours to fit it all in, but my Wednesdays and Fridays usually run long, typically around 15 hours.

I used to listen to a good few acts associated with those labels. I had a big Peter Murphy phase' date=' in particular - Deep is still a pretty great album. I liked a lot of goth, darkwave, and industrial. Not really my cup of tea these days, but I have fond memories.[/quote'] Yes, you are right about Peter Murphy. I'm still a big fan of Alternative and Goth...a little bit of Industrial. We also have a lot of French Canadian labels, being based in Montreal. Wonderful to earn money from my passion.

    • 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
