1 in 60. 

I'll get things I sort of want, like a nice restaurant voucher and things like that, but no one in my family is going to surprise me with Paradise Lost tickets, put it that way. 

Odds on you getting drunk on Christmas day. Sorry for all the Christmas stuff but it's the only thing being talked about around these parts.

Well... I probably won't be drinking on Christmas because I'll probably be made to drive to grammas and then of course gramma frickes the fruck out when I mention anything about me fucking drinking so yea... NOW the chances of me being drunk on new years? um.. 1 in -100? HOH!

 

Chances in odds... odds on you running around naked in a snowstorm yelling..... heh... WEE WEE, WEE WEE a la 70's show.

HELL! I'm drunk now! But that's probably not surprising I expect.

Oh fuck I forgot, Australia.

Eh anyways, 1 in 100; it's booze, I'm a metalhead, and.... it's great when you are bored out of your fucking mind, then suddenly, you just magically find things to do that are mega fucking fun. Like reading about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaver_(Firefly) Super fucking metal eh? :D

 

Odds on you... doing.... Aussie things.... um you know I never really talked to Aussie folks before. What's Australia like? I mean the real Australia, not just the stereotypes about deserts, kangaroos, boomerangs and walibies (did am spell right?) Oh damn I went off in a tangent, weeeellll... odds on you... talking to me about Australia? :D

Mechanix is great too, demo version is shit hot. But I like the lyrics for horsemen better, well unless I'm er.. nevermind. So anyways the hangover.. yes I kinda had a little trouble balancing for a good hour when after I woke up XD But I'm all better now.

 

Odds on you... watching twilight without cringing.

1 in 99.999 as I stopped watching it during season 4, although there is a chance I might bump into one of the writers on his or her Australian holiday. 

Also backtracking a little there is no way I would be able to recite anything from Dance of December Souls hahaha. I could probably warble my way through most of the other albums though. 

Odds on you posting something to this forum on Christmas Day.

Oh that fucking vampire movie, makes me cringe anytime I hear vampires because of how unbelievably cheesy it is. Especially the stupid romance shit. Well I can handle some romantic type stuff like "Coming to America" but that twilight shit and the shit in the star wars prequels, and soap operas.. shudders

 

1 in 1 I'll most likely be on in the evening as per the usual.

    • 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
