Hi! I have some problem when making posts.. In the grey box there you should write. When you click in it, it turns white and I can't see what I'm typing.. I'm using Fire Fox for pc. Same problem on phone though too. I had to write everything in a text document and then paste it. So it would be nice if you could fix this :). Plus the forum loads pretty slow (Every where) My other sites loads faster.. Anyway great forum! \m/ And also: Sorry if it's alredy were a topic about this... Please delete it then.

I can't imagine how many threads there are that mention this issue, weather or not there have been enough is an open question. In theory any computer problem should be fixable, but I've never seen it suggested that anything will be done about this one. I imagine that at this point I would not be the only one willing to give money to deal with this issue, maybe we can start a special fund. I love the forum enough to endure it, but dearly wish it could be dealt with.

I've sent a handful of emails to the admin about it, the first he responded to, stating that he would get on it. However, that obviously hasn't happened, and I haven't even received a reply to my last couple of emails on the subject. All I can do is try, unfortunately I don't have access to the source code, so I have no way of fixing it myself, otherwise I would have by now.

Sorry for the long hold up. I am looking to find some sponsors so I can dedicate set hours to Metal Forum each week' date=' so keep your ears out. In the mean time, i've had a look and sorted this one. Can someone test it for me?[/quote'] Seems to be working so far, I'll check it from my phone browser as well. It's always been intermittent (if frequent), though. I'm sure we'll hear about it in fairly short order if it crops up again.

So awesome dude, where do I send my check. The last thing I need to be doing is be chatting with new Thai ladies, the ads worked better for me when they were for nerdy t-shirts. I guess if it came to it my wife would rather see me checking out Russian senior dating then Thai girl chatting, but still, neither will go over well, I'm certain of that, so I'd better just sent cash. Thanks for fixing the white screen issue Dilated Mind, so awesome.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      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!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      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.
