23 years! Age of 14 I started and I turn 37 next month. I feel like we should get a free bus pass to gigs or something?
Remember buying Deep Purple's Made in Japan at the same time as Judas Priest Sin After Sin when that came out in the UK, so that will be 1977. So that's 36 years I think or there about's. :-)

Wow - that is a long time. Set for life already after 23 years - can't ever see me getting tired of metal now. I may flirt with other types of music now and again but metal is my true love. Saxon "Power & The Glory" was the first full metal album I ever heard and I haven't looked back since. In fact thinking about it I was younger than 14 must have been about 13 years old just getting ready for my final 2 years at high school. I remember we had a dress down day at school and I went in wearing my denim jacket with Morbid Angel "Altars Of Madness" patch.

Beard' date=' wife, good job, and your love of and ability to afford erudite munchies.[/quote'] I guess I'm just ahead of the curve that way. I've only been able to grow the beard for the last couple of years, but haven't done anything else since my hair started growing like this. My wife claims that I look too young without it and won't let me shave (not that I want to), or maybe she just likes older looking guys, lol. I'm in charge at my job, but I wouldn't exactly call it good, it has some good benefits as well as some hefty drawbacks. I do love good food and drink though, I've just always tried to allow room in my budget for those things.

How you maintain that is beyond me. Didn't some band's singer dedicate a song to your beard while gripping your face recently? lol

Yeah, King Fowley of Deceased dedicated A Witness to Suspiria to my beard when they played here a couple of months back. I mentioned it to the Gravehill guys when we were talking about how funny they were, and they actually remembered him doing it. He's just kind of a whacky dude like that, and a fucking intense frontman. He made great jokes the whole time, he said "One of my elementary school teachers used to give me crap because I could never settle down. She's dead now, and I'm just Deceased".

Re: Facts about yourself!

I want to see those guys now.
The frontman of Gravehill Mike Abominator was hilarious too. He was introducing the band between songs, and when he got to the bass player, he said, "This is our bass player Corpsemolestor. He just can't leave those dead girls alone. It's alright though, you just throw them in the microwave and they're good as new!" Rhett was telling me about some other great ones, like when they were getting applause after a song, Mike said "Every time you clap, a child in Africa dies!" 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.
