I'm a full one-man air band if it's music I like. Air drums with both feet and my hands, air guitar, moving around, shaking my fist in the air, mouthing the words or even singing along. Super entertaining for me. Less so for the family.

That's going for it Father alabaster. I salute you  and applaud you👏👏👏

There worth seeing live. The pyro was cool when I saw them too. 🔥I was skeptical but they won me over. I think they was better than headliner that night at bloodstock. Are you fan of the early stuff or the later stuff because apparently there sound has changed

In the UK they play at least every year so I'm guessing not too hard to see live.

Anything to do with pyros are quality in my book lol. Yeah I'm really into some of their earlier work. especially The Link. They have shifted to a different style and quite honestly it sounds just as good. Catching them live will be on my to-do list, thanks :)

Touch wood it will be easier to see shows in future. I should Google them.Interesting re your favourite era for them.i should check out there early stuff. I only know there more recent albums.

Also It's good you still like them too as some fans got bit upset that there sound has changed over the years.

Pyro is cool🔥🤘🤘oh yeah I think it is ☺️we agree on that. 😁

If things go well, the world will slowly re-open for us to enjoy. Their first three albums are just amazing, I don't think The Link gets enough attention. It incorporates their traditional sound with a little sludge mixed in which gives it a slower vibe to it. From Mars to Sirius is an all time classic though.

I can understand why people didn't like their transition to a more modern style, it shows even on their latest release but it doesn't bother me in the slightest haha. Maybe you can get cheap tickets from somewhere? A couple of apps have low prices (though some don't provide the best seating options so be careful).

Pyro = win lol. Sometimes I wish every band was like Rammstein in that regard!

Karambit hello again lets hope the world opens up and current tours are not cancelled. 

Thanks for your preferred gojira albums. I liked magma alot but I'm still not so keen on there latest album. It's a bit modern for me 😉 maybe I will get more in to it. There's still some amazing songs on it though. Just heard the link well most of it and it's more metal sounding than I was expecting and not million miles from there current sound. 

Yrah may try that app and hope I don't get stuck behind row p's pillar.😊

Pyro is cool. Gojira is only band I've seen using it. I've heard of the mettalica incident where hetfield got burnt. But he's ok now as far as I'm aware

When listening to immortal battles in the north I was head banging gently. Music that fast is better I think for it😂

    • 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
