Favourite metal quote

Awesome! They played last night. I was honestly debating on going. I'm not really a fan of theirs but they seem to be pretty amusing in all the interviews I've read. Did you go last night?
I just saw them last week, dude, they were incredible. Two drummers. The heaviest thing I've seen since Swans. I'm not a big fan of their recordings, but "A Senile Animal" captures what they're like best IMO.

Read this quote today from Dave Grohl and although I am not a massive fan of Foo Fighters (oh alright I'd rather stick pins in my eyes and have old people tickle my arse) I thought it was pretty cool. "I went to England to see Cronos from Venom, and he really is that guy. I don't know if he's really Satanic, but we went to dinner and he drank like a Viking and ate a piece of meat that was almost still alive. The outside was kind of brown, but it was cold and bloody. And he told us about going into supermarkets and eating raw meat when he didn't have any money. I told that to Lemmy and he said, "Yeah, well I used to suck the meat out of raw sausages." It was like a contest for who could be more metal."

Flicking through back issues of some mags I unearthed upstairs earlier and have a few quotes that made me smile:

"I don't run around the streets setting priests on fire." - Athenar, Midnight

"If you don't like a band anymore, just find something else to listen to." Fenriz, Darkthrone

"Without 13th Century Italian Dance Music, we wouldn't have Summoning" Obsequiae

"...our music is not easily digested by the brainless masses." Voltaire 666, Deiphago

"People think Satan's cool and he's your friend, but he's not your friend...." Victor Griffin

"...I can't simply live off of praise and Facebook likes." David DiSanto, Vektor

What is this supposed to mean? Surely it's still possible to succeed even if you can't handle failure. In fact, not being able to handle failure may push someone further towards success, like an elite athlete or someone. Devin Townsend's annoying.

No, he meant when people give up from different stuff, ideas, dreams because sometimes it doesn't work for a while and you have to be willing and aware that you will probably humiliate yourself for a while until you just stop caring, being fearful and just try and do and be persistent until it's done.

“Call me, Alabama!” - Alexander Shunnarah

I’m only kidding about that one. 

My actual favorite metal quote is probably what Lemmy said when a fan threw a beer bottle at him. “If you want to throw something, why don’t you come up here, throw a fucking punch, and I’ll kick your fucking teeth in!” - Lemmy

    • 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
