Hi every one. I don´t have "Onward to golgltha", But the others is in my vinyl collection. Don´t really have a fave band, but I have always listened to Napalm death.
I watched Bill Steer and Shane Embury getting interviewed in their bedroom on a documentary on YouTube yesterday. They amused me when they said how grown up they were because they no longer believed metal was Satan worship and also that they (Napalm Death) took extreme to a whole new level in comparison to Slayer who were like the most extreme band at that time. Documentary also had Lars Ulrich being interviewed in a pub talking about his first ever gig which he whent ot with his Dad and some of his Dad's mates - it was Deep Purple. Anyway it was nice to hear from Lars from the days before he disappeared up his own arse. P.s you need "...Golgotha" in your collection.

No arguing that point, Onward to Golgotha is fucking awesome. Incantation are just great overall, but I would maybe on call their first 3 albums absolute essentials. It's just insane how heavy and nasty sounding they are, and while they've never swayed from that distinct sound, they usually do a good job of keeping it fresh. The Napalm Death guys all seem pretty cool. They had a great sense of humor when I saw them live a few years back, I definitely would love to see them again some day.

I mostly only listen to death and thrash.. But I do get inspiration through all other genres...ehh I play guitar in a band from Denmark. So when I make riff I could have been inspirer from some classical composion. Yes.. I got to get "Onward to Golgotha".. Actually I gave it to a friend for a birthday when it came out. But for some reason we didn´t get it. Think we only heard it ones. So for that reason I haven´t really listen to Incantation at all. Strange and sad how thinks turns out some times.. But After MacabreEternal mentioned the "Onward to Golgotha" I went to utube and heard the hole record. Their is some awsome stuff on it. Thanks for that.

You a fan of any Danish death metal? I love the old stuff from bands like Illdisposed, Iniquity, Exmortem, and newer stuff from bands like Undergang sounds pretty good too. Do you have any recommendations for other stuff in that style, or just Danish metal in general? Other than those few death metal bands, I'm pretty much only familiar with the bigger stuff like Mercyful Fate, but am into most any metal genre, so I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

Cool that you know some danish bands. Old school bands: Konkhra, Corpus mortale, JEEL(JegErEnLampe) It´s actually my old band, Ferocity. Newer bands:Raunchy, Dawn of demise, the burning and of course my current band Eciton.Actually the drummer from Iniquity Jesper Frost is smashing the drums in Eciton. I´m not that much into the danish metal scene at the time, so I don´t listen to much to the mentioned bands, but maybe you like some of them

Welcome to the forum. You're not by any chance a tech-death fan' date=' are you? Groups like Centaurus-A, Gorguts, Kronos, Pavor?[/quote'] Yes yes.. I listen to some Tech-metal aswell. But of the mentioned bands I only listen to Gorguts. Otherwise it is bands like Atheist, gorod, the faceless, Cytotoxin etc. Those pavor sounds a little interesting.. Didn´t knew them

Good names - I love Gorod. I haven't heard Cytotoxin yet but I did see them advertised on Unique Leader. Maybe I'll give them a go.

generally I find pig squeals annoying in death metal so I'll probably steer clear of Cytotoxin but damn that is a cool name for a metal band. I've really only recently begun digging back into the DM scene actually (lost interest in it years back dunno why) so my collection is pretty small consisting of only Alethian, Arch Enemy, Arsis, Asphyx, Atheist, Autopsy, Benediction, Bolt Thrower, Brutality, Centaurus-A, Dark Tranquillity, Death, Element, Entombed, Kronos, Miseration, Morbid Angel, Nile, Obituary, Quo Vadis, Sickening Horror and Sympathy

    • 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.
