Re: Punk Sounds more like pop/punk, definite Green Day/Blink 182 vibe to that. I like a limited amount of punk music, which is mostly restricted to punk/metal fusion genres (crossover thrash, grindcore, sludge, etc...), and crust punk/d-beat bands. Here's a punk band whose influence over metal has been greater than most metal bands: 11NvRe12Fkg

Re: Punk

but the majority of them are nothing but commie pencil necked rich kids with Amebix and Nausea patches who have no idea what they are talking about.
I couldn't agree more on this. It's one of the reasons I hate punk.

Lots of punk is great, though I don't really like pop-punk like Greenday etc. Amebix, Skitsystem, New York Dolls, Ramones, Misfits, Deadboys and GG Allin are probably my favourite, though some of them definitely teeter of the edge of punk music at times and have done different kind of stuff.

I like the Misfits more than almost any other band, including metal. I've got a Crimson Ghost tattoo. Also like: Ramones, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Amebix, Discharge, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, GBH, the Casualties, early Rancid, and plenty of others. In the late 90s I was in a punk/hardcore band called The Crackheads, you can listen here: 1999 Demo ? The Crackheads ? Listen and discover music at Last.fm

I woke up this morning with an undeniable urge to listen to Youth Brigade, and now a mere couple hours later I'm bustin out the Discharge. I grew up liking the Sex Pistols a good bit but didn't start really giving punk a real chance till a few years ago. I don't delve deeply into it like metal but I definitely get in the mood sometimes. I like a good bit of GG Allin, Choking Victim, Bad Religion, and selections from a few other bands.

There was a time, about 20 years ago when I had 3 Fugazi albums. According to wikipedia they were a post punk band, so maybe that is what I liked and not punk at all. I've always had a fondness for punk aesthetic and punk anti-aesthetic as well, but often the best thing about a punk tune is that it is super short. I like punked up ska music to a degree, and loved a band called Babaloo that used to come to a town I lived in and we would dance, I tell you. Punk mambo they called themselves. I like the dance culture of punk with slam dancing and such. If you had seen me in the late eighties or early nineties you would have thought "what the fuck does that barefoot hippie think he is doing in the middle of the mosh pit?" (Answer- Dancing and having fun.)

I really dig their debut and need to try their other albums.

    • 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.
