Gothic country? Is that when Scott started Nocturnal Poisoning?
Quick factoid about Demonic Christ, she had some pictures showing her lady bits online.
 
Yeah, he changed the name back to Xasthur when nobody gave a shit about his shitty new sound. I didn't know that about Dana Duffey, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's not like there aren't revealing photos out there of Hoest or the dudes from Profanatica.

I was recently turned on to Nachtlieder - another solid one-woman BM project with session drums. There are some vicious riffs in here, tough-sounding vocals, blastbeats for days, etc. Songwriting is not 100% my thing but it's definitely great when I'm in the mood. The first one I heard was "The Female Of The Species":

 

"Lynx" is badass as well:

The 'Lynx' album is quite good! I didn't really enjoy anything else here, including the other Nachtleider album, but 'Lynx' was killer stuff. Those massive riffs and the melodies swirling around kept it interesting. Fine choice!

I have three names that I'd like to toss into the discussion, even if not normal Black Metal.

Tunjum

Originally formed by only women, Clara remains on drums and vocals, and is quite in charge. Black Death that is practically suffocating!

 

Sex Messiah

I am breaking the topic rules with this one. Out of Japan, this ugly music comes from Moenos, song writer and guitarist. She isn't the vocalist, but her music is worth hearing. Nasty and Raw Black Metal that has very little to do with snow.

Her solo Noise stuff is cool, too.

The only one I am aware of is Astarte, I had the "Sirens" album back in the 00s but when I lost all of my CDs somehow, that one went with it. It was a fairly good album, nothing groundbreaking but I'd consider picking it up on vinyl if they ever did a pressing of it because I remember liking it.

The CD I had was the one with the blue album art. The album art I am seeing now for this album is like red/orange & I don't understand that. I was aware that Tristessa died of leukemia a few years back though.

    • 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.
