Hi everyone,

I'm Chelle. I'm here because I have no real life metal-head friends and that gets a little lonely.

I really love black metal, DSBM, folk metal, some death, symphonic, goth, some industrial, some stoner metal, some metal core, and of course traditional heavy metal.

I can't stand elitist metal fans who think they're special little snowflakes when they actually aren't. I can't stand when other women stare at me when I'm out in public with a band t-shirt on.

Things that I do like include: open minded people, down to earth chill people, cats, watching anything metal related while eating pizza or wings or nachos, working out while listening to metal, true crime books and documentaries, stormy weather, rainy days, hiking, the beach at night, all things dark and macabre, drinking the occasional beer (hate liquor and wine), and of course going to concerts as much as I can.

I hope my snowflake comment isn't offensive. I just hate when people put you down for liking a certain band. Nobody should have to defend what they like when it comes to music.

I have 3 cats. They listen to metal too : )

There'll be no offense taken here - I have said a lot worse I am sure.  Cats are the greatest, we have two and one just had an op to remove a lump from her chest this morning so is lay in front of the fire looking very drugged still.

Have you listened Nocturnal Depression - Spleen Black Metal? It's beautiful..

Yes, I absolutely love Nocturnal Depression!! By far one of my favorite bands. I also love Wedard, Thy Light, Satanic Warmaster, Belphegor, Rotting Christ, Agalloch, Dark Tranquility, Dissection, Enslaved, Marduk, Tryptikon, Celtic Frost, Gehenna, Watain, and Mayhem when Dead was their vocalist. Those are just a few. I'm pretty obsessed with the history of Dead actually. I really wish somebody would do a more in depth biography about him, but can understand why his family would not be interested.

Welcome to the forum, here is a poem I composed for you.

 

It's about me.

 

Oh what a special snowflake am I,

as I drift down from the frozen sky,

I know so fucking much about the metal sound,

And basically I'm just about the most special snowflake around...

No really, I mean it, as snowflakes come and snawflakes go

I'm basically the most special one I know,

As I fall and drift and settle,

I'm so metal, oh so metal

 

It's not a great poem, but it does capture me in a way. Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy it here.

I think you and me get along just fine...:)  Coldworld? 

Gehenna ....nice..:)

Yeh..I'm a bit obsessed too....

 

I haven't listened to them much to be honest, but if they give off that raw, yet ambient vibe that I love then I'll probably enjoy them. =)

Well, I'm going to see Slayer and Anthrax next week and hopefully I'll be seeing Dark Tranquility in November. 

I've seen Dark Tranquillity a bunch of times, but I'm looking forward to that show to see Swallow the Sun and Enforcer. I should give Slayer another chance live too, they really disappointed me when I saw 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
