They need slogans, like "Doody Baldrs" or "Ea, Lord Of The Naps".

We've all heard albums so terrible we wanted to hurl midgets out the nearest window out of pure rage! These don't have to be albums you own either but they do have to be full albums, not just songs.

I've been getting very tired of what people consider traditional doom' date=' i.e. I've been having issues listening to the last few Candlemass albums. So with that said, I'd like to to unhear Candlemass - Candlemass as it's just slow Power Metal and it's very repetitive.[/quote'] If Candlemass = slow power metal, My Dying Bride = slow death metal.

If Candlemass = slow power metal' date=' My Dying Bride = slow death metal.[/quote'] No, MDB = Doom where as the bulk of the trad stuff is just slow power metal. I consider Candlemass power/doom. Solitude Aeturnus is doom but they are just slow. Candlemass has always been power/doom to me. They just have the speed associated with both. They're not trad doom however. MDB has some death metal moments but they're just doom. Their overall speed is slow where as Candlemass is moderately fast with bits of slow here and there. Trouble isn't doom. They're just (awesome) 80's metal.

It doesn't make sense that you're willing to throw out the basis and origin of one genre's sound in favor of new acts on the doom side, but deny the newer sound of black metal bands because it has evolved forward from its beginning. I'm all about drawing a line in the sand, but decide which side of it you stand on instead of hopping back and forth across sides.

have you noticed how its getting trendy to hate certain albums lol. for me Metallica st anger because it was crap and lulu. because i hate Lou reed think is in an overrated musician and songwriter and it was a dreadful album just dreadful i even hate my self for listen to it. so
It's not trendy nor has it every been, it's mandatory. What's trendy is ghost. A band that came from out of no where, has nothing to do with metal what so ever yet is some how popular and considered metal. Very fucking trendy.

I've got to say The End is Where We Begin, by Thousand Foot Krutch. Ordinarily, their albums are pretty good, but this one is a freakin' disaster. The best song on it is mediocre at best, and the other 15 odd songs devolved into rap and easy listening. Their other stuff is kinda cheesy from time to time, but at least it was usually metal. On a scale of 1 to 10, this album ranks a 0 in my world.

ok this is probably cheating but about a month back on the Metal Breakfast they played a greek death/grind compilation album I would really like to unhear, with the exception of one song that was hilariously funny for the vocals alone (which were described as being intestinal penetration) the only positives on that show were that they hit the exterminate button on every song and the jokes made about the terrible song titles and band names

I wish I could unhear Hallows Eve's Evil Never Dies. It was supposed to be their comeback album, but was really just a turd in a jewel case. Easily the most boring and poorly written death/thrash I've ever heard, total shit. The worst part was that none of the local music exchange stores could find the album's barcode in their system, so I couldn't get anyone to buy it from me even for store credit. I threw that fucker away, which was at the same time I threw away that retarded Thom Mathews solo wank album, nobody would buy that back either.

    • 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.
