Suggesting they are oceanic lifeforms come in sub genres is why we don't need music sub genres.

And I'm a shark but I also happen to like shark fin soup so I'm also part cannibal because I ate my own fin. Which also means I'm dead because sharks can't survive without a fin, therefore you are talking to the dead....and you think I have strange ideas!
 

OK dude you can be whatever kind of marine life you so desire, but your avatar is of a killer whale not a shark. That's all I'm saying.

Given that I unashamedly stole the avatar and edited it for my own liking I think I get the right to choose what I created.

Dude you could start calling your cows goats and your goats chickens for all I care. But your avatar is a picture of a cumcumber peeled to look like an orca, also known as a killer whale. You can call yourself a shark or a barracuda or an octopus or a barramundi if it makes you happy. But your avatar's still an orca.

 

Oh, and so ya know, 'technical thrash' is when they play it left-handed.

On the whole any population can only control or constrain violent impulses to a certain degree, over a certain time period. How its expressed may also vary - (war, political strife). In the end its like trying to grip one of those squishy stress relief balls - you squeeze one side but it will inevitably come out between your fingers somewhere.

We are definitely better at controlling it now than at previous times in history, but its still there, right under the surface. The minute controls begin to fail we are back to being savages.

Dude you make it sound like we're all this close *holds fingers 4mm apart* to randomly grabbing someone off the street and raping them as soon as we think no one's looking.  Do you feel like you're a ticking time bomb that's ready to explode because you spend so little time at home with your wife? Are you afraid that being away so much of the time leaves you nowhere to appropriately channel your normal sexual urges? Are you trying like hell to control your squishy ball and not let it poke out between your fingers somewhere? There's no shame in having a sex drive. If you're near naval bases most of the time I'm sure there must be a seaman or two who could point you toward some professional "stress relief" wink wink. Before you turn into a savage and hurt somebody.

That's only because your mind is telling you that's what you see and you're not open to expanding it. Perhaps if I filed it under another sub-genre you'd be able to see the shark in the forest of whales your mind has created.

You're wasting your breath Orca.

Haahaa true. No I am too old to be running around like that these days. And I am not worried about myself or most of us who can generally keep it together. But as soon as some of those constraints are removed, I do not trust our species to self-regulate, generally speaking. You see this in war zones, without exception. When there is no accountability it turns into a rape-fest.

I know man, I heard that tape just the other day of the Russian soldier in Ukraine who was on the phone with his wife back home telling her about how they were raping so many of the Ukranian women. I don't speak Russian but the translation of her reply across the bottom of the screen was "Yes I allow, just use protection" and she was fucking giggling like it was a joke.

Ugh. There are so many things to be thankful for when living in a civilized (albeit very flawed) country. Most of the time we try to do the right thing, or at least not the most awful things.

New black/death offering courtesy of Coscradh. This one has some heavy meat hooks and tendrils and goat hooves to trample and scrape the inside of your skull. Heavy and demented enough for Thatguy to maybe like it. Killer stuff, just when this genre was starting to bore and disappoint (looking at you Triumvir Foul).

Here's a straight forward satanic DM riff fest from France.

Final Eclipse - Interminable Darkness (Black Metal, USA)

So the word on the grape vine is this new project features at least one member from the mighty Death Fortress and I'm inclined to believe it. This is pretty much identical to Death Fortress, like, a logical continuation of that sound. Sign me up! This is really really good.

Sigh - Scenes from Hell

Some kind of circus or gypsy music happening at one point kind of blew my mind. Sigh is so nuts.

I have no idea if he likes Sigh or not, but are you saying then Hungarungus, that you would not consider our esteemed Doctor to be part of the subset of forum members who qualify as weirdos? Cuz I mean the dude is fixated on weasels and obsessed with toucans, how much weirder can you really get?

Yep. Thatguy owns this of course. I am reminding myself about it as I write since it is some time since I listened to it. It's fun but a bit egregiously eclectic.

I'm over weasels...but toucans are another matter.

    • 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
