Overkill - Supersonic Hate (live)

Pretty obscure song, shocked they played it live at any point.

Morbus Chron - Ripening Life

I don't know how they managed to do it, but they may have one-upped Tribulation with this one. For now this is the absolute best 2014 has to offer.

Autopsy - Robbing the Grave

Death/doom par excellence from their classic album Mental Funeral.

Morgana Lefay - Hollow

Strictly modern, but kick ass power metal. Huge, marching rhythms, cutting riffs, awesome vocals.

Death Division - We Are the Fallen

Tim Yeung drumming for a groove/nu metal/butt rock band. Do I even need to say this sucks?

Oh, and their Facebook page calls Morbid Angel a "thrash/black metal band". So they're stupid too.

Excellent band. Unlike any other, and very well put together. Very consistent discography too.

np: Clandestine Blaze - Wings of the Archangel
Makes my absinthe taste even better. Or is it my absinthe that makes this sounds better? Still, good stuff.

Satan's Host - Shades of the Unlight

I cannot get enough of this band. A ridiculous breath of fresh air.

You got that right. So... uneventful.

Necrocurse - Grip of the Dead

Save for the comical vocals, this is some good old school Death/Thrash Metal.
Devil Cobra!!!

Nortt - Galgenfrist.

I think I've finally stopped expecting Nortt to do something, ANYTHING, in his music. When taken as simple ambient you don't focus too much on, it's actually not that bad.

Evilfest-Lost Horizons of Wisdom

This song has some of the most beautiful and hypnotic key sections I have ever listened to, marvellous. This guy is a genius.

Dismember - Of Fire


A great fucking track to begin an album, imo.

Desolate Shrine - The Sanctum of Human Darkness

A few tracks in on my first listen, this isn't doing a whole lot for me as yet. It's above average, I'd say, but there not a whole lot going on riff/melody-wise that's really grabbing my attention.

Asphyx - Der Landser

Spinning the latest album again today, and it's still heavy and awesome as hell!

The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows

What? Amazon recommends this to me because they know I like early Nightwish? Well, I........ suppose both bands have female vocalists.

Sonata Arctica – Victoria's Secret

Some great fucking keyboard work on this song

I'm shadowing you today for some reason. I was listening to Silence earlier and while I love Harkin's style, the keyboard solos on Winterheart's Guild are just on another level. I love the solo in "Victoria's Secret". Whatever key that is that he flutters around it, it works.

Sarcoma Inc. - Torment Rides Forever

Edguy – Until We Rise Again

Yeh the keyboards on WHG are perfect, best use of flowery keyboards i know, it really makes the album sound wintery.

Solitude Aeturnus - Scent of Death

I want a new album by them so badly.

Mantic Ritual - Black for Sin
Too bad this band fizzled away after their first and only album. They would've surely been right up there with the legion of good re-thrash bands. They had a good (and raw) early 'tallica vibe going on.

Salamandra - Forefathers' Realm

Great Czech melodic PM!

Decomposed - Devouring

Brilliant OSDM. Just listen to Ode to the End.
There's been some fantastic Death Metal releases this year

Gov't Mule - Effigy (CCR cover)

Featuring Jerry Cantrell. One of the best covers ever.

I'm studying for my south east Asia geography exam, here's my playllist! Probably gonna spin some Kekal too!

-Ulver and Sunn O))) - Terrestrials
-Symptom - Caverns of Katabasis
-The Flower Kings - Banks of Eden
-The Flower Kings - Desolation Rose
-Tjolgtjar - Kjal Tjormejn
-Hades - Again Shall Be
-Nocturnal - Storming Evil

Kula Shaker - K

Brilliant psychedelic brit-pop

Alcest - Ecailles De Lune Part 1

In-freaking-credible.

Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw

Been a long while since I heard this album.

Sadus - Black

Damn this album is great, one of the best death/thrash bands imo.

Sonata Arctica – Deathaura

Nightwish rip off really, but it destroys everything since Century Child

Wizard - Lost Souls

This is so bad from an objective standpoint, repetitive and sloppy. But it's so enjoyable because of the conviction these guys have. They really believed they were going to make a big metal epic. And to be fair, they kinda did.

Into Eternity - Black Sea Of Agony

It's been years since I've plugged myself into this album. And while I may not enjoy it (nay, worship would be a better word for it) as much as I used too, it's still a great album. Astounding, in comparison with their latest outings. Which is funny, because Stu Block is actually a terrific vocalist, and I think if he had have been on this album, it would still sit in my top ten albums of all time. Unfortunately, it's fallen a bit out of favour. Again, the album is fantastic, it's just that I'm not the teenager who discovered this album for the first time anymore. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, but not when your tastes have so radically evolved.

Inquisition - Astral Path to Supreme Majesties

Pretty frickin' huge sounding.

Man Must Die - Absence Makes the Hate Grower Stronger

Man, only one review for this album on here, what a shame. This is such a crushing album.

Satyricon - Nocturnal Flare, from Satyricon

This album is definitely different than what I am used to from them, but I don't necessarily find it a bad thing. Personally not finding this album worthy of all the hate it has received.

Deceased – The Premonition

Iron Maiden goes thrash/death

Scenery Channel - The Corridor

Cool...not really metal but it has Pasi Hiltula so it's enjoyable enough.

Bathory - Valhalla

Been enjoying Hammerheart and the Nordlands a lot more than before, it's clicking for me finally.

Candlemass - Solitude

The version with Robert Lowe singing is insane. Such a shame he isn't in the band anymore.

Solstice - Bleeding Unborn

I love the production on their albums. And I'm still looking for bands that can play a similar style to Solstice - death/thrash. There's Incubus for sure...but who else?

Tengger Cavalry - Chant Of The Cavalry

Really good. Nature Zheng is a great writer, musician and vocalist. Mongol/Chinese folk metal with a mix of black metal and melodic death
