A day later than planned but here!  Got the girlfriend's mate here, genuine quote "I watched Chernobyl on Sky Atlantic and I am convinced that this is why my friend has cancer, 100 million percent!" 

There may not be enough alcohol in the world to get me through tonight!

He's got a point, 100 million percent of nearly anything would probably give somebody cancer.

Well that's the joy of parenting I guess? Wow do I not envy you mate.

There are a lot of great things about parenting, but good sleep and graceful hangover recovery aren't among them.

That’s not a good kind of drunk, but unfortunately one I’ve had before, albeit with daughters of infernal spite and spirit rather than a son. 

I couldn't handle another, boy or girl... spite and spirit indeed. The child takes pleasure in tormenting us. Good kid though.

I was very reserved last night. After planning to end my lack of inclusion in this thread I had 2 Lager shandies and a pint of water and was in bed by 10.

Last time I heard of a shandy being ordered it was by my mother in 1989. That’s a general estimate, I didn’t note the exact date. I think we should bring the shandy back. Beer and lemonade right? Delicious. 

I’m imbibing a bolloxing battalion of beerish beverages betwixt bouts of bitter black metal. Exclusively.

I've seen a few different brewers over here putting out shandies (or radlers) lately. More this season than I can recall from years past. I might enjoy one every so often as a refresher after being out in the sun, but they're too sugary for me as a general thing.

Once again I find myself loopy on caffeine and lack of sleep... This is turning into a habit.

Sooooo apparently when I get proper drunk I start singing nineties pop songs. My first question is how the fuck does drunk me know songs sober me hasn't heard in twenty years?

I can remember the lyrics to pretty much everything, ever. Can recall very few details of my actual life, though.

Come the fuck at me BITCHES , hashtag “this is that day for it” hostage enjoy your freedom, hashtag nearly drunk at nearly three pm dot commercial. Fucking dot comertial dot com. Now I’m pretty much ready to satart partying Merica style. 

 

If if you ain’t than we will get to your ass in a minute for sure. 

 

In in the final analysis real deal of it though, across the board , I advise you get down to business of being free, as free as you can be.  just because it rhymes doesn’t meant it’s not the the way to go.

 

with love to all and not all that done in as I might seem, Gorbogorboze wishes to u well.

Next time I’m at the pub I’ll order a “radler” and see what happens. I hope I don’t get a shandy...

I’m currently at my parents’ country estate where my eccentric father for some reason now only allows a small glass of red wine with dinner despite a healthy wine collection. 

It appears that he is now hoarding it, eternally suspicious of outsiders taking it from him. His paranoia and reclusiveness grows. 

My mother is the modern equivalent of Lady Macbeth, wandering around hallucinating. I suspect her of at least one murder in the past.

This place is too weird even for my nefarious self. Leaving on Sunday until the next six month visit. Many beers shall be had, if I survive until then...

I beg to differ! Still don't have my head on straight from yesterday.

I've done pretty well today - left work at three, had five social pints, and thanks to my dog (needing to get home to feed her) I should wake up feeling fine. Unless I hit the JD now of course ?

That seems unwise, but think about all the great drunk posts you'd have to offer.

Standard procedure these days really - wake up hung over, and think "what did I post on MetalForum last night?" There was a time when there were actual proper things to regret, though, so I guess it's an improvement. Have managed to resist the lure of more booze so far, anyway... am binge-eating cookies instead.

Yeah, you most definitely can. Don't make me prove it.

Oh Max, Max, Max, not drinking often is the only reason you could think beer can't get you drunk.

I can think of at least one other reason: That I have already consumed a sizeable inland lake's worth of beer during my lifetime. The problem with beer is that it contains so much water. What you need to get properly hammered is "white lightning" ... moonshine, home made rocket fuel style liquor. It will get the job done without all the pissing. Fast, cheap and ugly. Like certain thrash and/or black metal bands. 

What I experienced yesterday was undoubtedly "inebriation" at its basic level, which made me a little cheerful and gigglish, but not by any standards drunk (as a skunk). The reason why I hardly ever drink alcohol anymore is that like so many people of my age, I seem to have gotten much more sensitive to the effects of alcohol, both for better and worse. It is the "worse" parts that I wish to avoid. They tend to outweigh the betters. Fortunately, the good lord also gave us cannabis.

Maybe you just haven't been drinking the right beers? I've been able to regularly get plastered on beer, especially when I go for the Belgian offerings.

Ok let’s see. 

Definitely tipsy with beer and jack Daniels. Good stuff. The question is how far do I want to push it? Not far. But a little further. 

You can definitely get drunk from beer. I’m living proof. 

Shit the pub’s closing!

    • 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
