Re: Death

sorry man, didn't know there was a band called death since i'm not into death metal, I'll make sure I'm posting in the right place next time and those death prediction things are all a load of bull, it's impossible to predict when someone is going to die
Unless you can see the piano falling and you can't move out of the way.

I have managed to wangle a free Amazon Prime subscription (my second of the year) so I am streaming "Spiritual Healing" as we speak.

Re: Death Back to the band, I think they're killer. They didn't "invent" the style as everyone seems to think, as Possessed, Master/Death Strike, Sadistik Execution, Corpse, Morbid Angel, Massacre, Repulsion, Sepultura, and others were at the forefront of the movement around the same time, and they were all immensly influential. I do enjoy all of their albums to varying degrees, and it almost always depends on my mood as to which my favorite is, though I don't think Symbolic will ever claim the top spot on the heap. Iceni, you say you dig tech death, but not Death? They were one of the first, and all modern tech death bands owe them a great deal. Human and Individual Thought Patterns are basically required listening in the field, and even if you don't dig them, their influence is undeniable.

you know Dave I think you'd actually like quite a bit of death metal if you gave it the chance, it seems to be a band by band type genre where some bands just click and others don't, fortunately for me most of the DM bands suggested by the lunatics who run this asylum ( :) ) have been just what I was looking for

fair enough the vocals were what I tended to struggle with at first but now I find it pretty easy to pick out what most bands lyrics are, still struggle with the odd band here and there (don't think I'll ever be able to understand Lord Worm of Cryptopsy) but generally I pick 'em out ok I'm not even gonna try to get you into black metal that just seems like waaaaaaaaaaaay too much effort

Bathory, good choice, black metal turned viking metal, Quorthon was a genius may he rest in peace really doubt outside Venom any bands would appeal to you, perhaps the odd song here and there but it would be extremely hit or miss, with me it's predominantly hit, particularly the raw early stuff and black/thrash, the DSBM and NSBM movements I have no interest in nor do I have any interest in Burzum

Re: Death

Chuck was. Awsome. Kinda sucked how. He died. Brain tumor with no Health insurance. That's. Gotta. Suck I'm glad bands did benefit shows to help him with his treatment.
Health insurance wouldn't have helped him, doctors don't have the foggiest idea of how to treat cancer. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Not surprising, doctors kill more people than most of the diseases people see them for. Whether it's negligence, misdiagnosis, or that they simply don't know how to treat something, it's time we shifted our focus and funding to medical practices that work. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

    • 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.
