Candlemass - Witches

Specifically the Tony Martin version. It rules, just as you expect something involving Tony Martin to do.

Dvorhead - Genos Caedere

Rifftastic brutal death metal from France. Pity that these guys never got signed and split up after only one album.

Pestilence - Horror Detox

I don't know why people hate this album, saying that it doesn't sound like Pestilence. Sure, the sound is a little more modern, but it most definitely has the Pestilence sound - particularly in the solos.

Deep Purple - Never Before

Great tune. Old school rock and roll, very catchy hook. Loving this whole album.

Sadus - Swallowed In Black

Starting off the weekend with a bang! One of my all-time faves. A real thrashterpiece.

Morbid Angel - Invocation of the Continual One

Pretty ritualistic sounding with some fun catchy riffs popping up here and there. I dig it.

Midnight Odyssey: Tears of Starfire

Just really good music. They need to release these past two albums on vinyl.

Eggnogg - Northern Lights

Sludgyyyyy really lifeeeeeee shi-tah love the riffs and tasty little outro solo

Metal Gear 2 - Zanzibar Breeze (remix version)



People always seem to forget that the Nintendo Metal Gears had some pretty great music as well.

sybreed - dynamic

Nice to return to these guys once every few months. Still fresh.

Happening later this year...!


Now playing:

Summoning - In Hollow Halls Beneath the Fells

Epic and awesome, in a big Summoning mood these days.

Saint Vitus - The Psychopath

Fuck, I love Saint Vitus so much. This song has the heart and soul of doom metal, and is quite possibly the best song on the self-titled album.

Spinning the latest Kêres-album, Battle Secrets.

Really, really good record! It's got some great riffing all over. Also, the artwork is amazing. Skancke's got a fine sense of detail in his drawings!

Listening to Vitus as well and had the same FUCK YEAH ST VITUS moment lol. Listening to In the Asylum from Die Healing, their best IMHO.

My favorite Saint Vitus album is V and I'm aware I stand in the minority when it comes to that opinion. But I'm OK with it, as long as you like the band! Only the latest full-length is questionable, in my opinion. It always felt more like an EP anyway.

Metallica - Eye of the Beholder

Pretty underrated track for them - forgot how good this was before I got the album again recently. Solid groovy riff and a catchy chorus. The album as a whole is an unrelenting barrage of angry lyrics and dark, stodgy riffs. Punishing shit.

Classic album!


Best Morbid Angel album for me.




I always thought it's In Hollow Halls Beneath the FAlls.

Even The Spirits Are Afraid from (2003) The Gathering - Souvenirs.
About time! Last The Gathering album I REALLY listened to.
We listened to (1997) The Gathering - Nighttime Birds, (1998) The Gathering - How To Measure A Planet, (2000) The Gathering - If_Then_Else and (2003) The Gathering - Souvenirs on our way to (and back from) the parachute jump:

It says Fells on both my cd and vinyl cover
Also on the archives and discogs.

Dream Evil - Only for the Night

Call me a softy, but this song is great. As are Tired and Into the Moonlight from the same album.

King Giant - There Were Bells

Holy shit! What a fucking record. Expectations met and surpassed.

Seriously? What label?

Midnight Odyssey - Shores Serene

Must listen to Funerals as much as possible before I move on to their newest album. This is the only album I can think of that's this long without over staying its welcome.

fell /fel/
noun
a hill or stretch of high moorland, especially in northern England.

Yep!
http://www.nordvis.com/label/shards-of-silver-fade/

I,Voidhanger and Nordvis release.
I have read that the first album also will be out as a vinyl box. 4lps.

Burning Witch - Tower Place

Yep, this rules. The doom is enveloping and dense. The right things happen at the right time. The vocals are all over the place and sound literally like a burning, heroin-crazed witch.

Basajaun - The Unforgotten King

Pretty cool doom from Colombia. Always a treat to hear trad doom from unexpected places. This gives off an Italian vibe with the keys and vocals. Hopefully there will be a proper release later this year because I'd buy that for a dollar (or more).

Donna Burke - Sins of the Father



Perfect setup for the new Metal Gear. I hope she gets to do more tracks for it.

Fangorn - "Where the Tales Live On" from Where the Tales Live On

Hobbit metal

人間椅子 - 狂気山脈 (Ningen-Isu - Kyouki Sanmyaku)

Quite possibly my favorite track from Ningen-Isu. Really, words cannot describe how awesome this song is.

Sielunvihollinen - Hautaruhtinas

Or something like that.. I dunno. All I know is that the first two tracks on their first full length are fucking insanely catchy Finnish black metal.

Skeletal Remains' 'Traumatic Existence', off Beyond the Flesh. Music's great, love the instrumentation and the solos in particular really stand out... but holy hell are those vocals annoying. Just... so annoying.

Ord - Burning Sun

Nice, new Black Metal band from Canada that just poped up with a very slight taste of Folk and Doom to it. I'm giving Of Rain & Dirt a full listen ATM.

This albums is truly catchy!

Appalachian Winter-The Epochs that built the Mountains

Man, this album is majestic!!

I listened to this earlier. it's brilliant

NP : Thorybos/Truppensturm - Approaching Conflict

Barbarity at its darkest.

Blind Guardian - Sacred mind

Enjoying this album so far, but i'm missing the power in Hansi's voice..

Black Sabbath - Devil and Daughter

Favorite song off Headless Cross. Just like the album, everything about this song is done correctly.

Immortal - Mount North

All Shall Fall is often slept on, which I think is a bit sad. It's a damn solid album. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's Immortal doing what Immortal does best, and it's filled with great songs. Norden on Fire is probably my favorite, but the whole album is worthwhile.

The problem with the album is that's too safe, besides the lack of aggression and the lesser quality of the riffs.

Np Judas Priest - Metal Meltdown. This is THE JP song, the definite heavy/speed/almost thrashy song of them. Rob does the performance of his life, way better than Painkiller IMO.

Virgin Steele - Riderless Horse (Save Your Breath)

This bluesy style actually sounds pretty fun and exciting, silly vocal lines aside.

...The concerning question, however, is: how come the new tunes on this bonus disc are actually better than the tunes on the regular album?!

Colombia?!?



Basajaun is a basque mythological character and it means "lord of the mountain" in euskara (our language):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basajaun


I'll have to give this band another try.

On Demon Wings from (2000) Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Sunset Mission.
PERFECT.

Zyklon – Chaos Deathcult

Such a violent album
