It has more diversity in the riffs and the bass is nice and high, but I still feel—as with most of the recent MR releases—that it could use more time in the incubator. I'm trying out placing the title track last, as opposed to first, as it seems very weird to start the album with a ten-minute song when none of the other songs even come close to that length. Manilla Road is one of my all time favorite bands. But with he exception of a couple of songs, like The Fountain, I find their albums after Gates of Fire, maybe Voyager, are in one ear out the other. I like my Road weird and heavy/thrashy. And now I find them boring and I'm sad. Yeah, I think they're being pumped out too quickly, I suppose to try and capitalize on the renewed European support while it's there. I hope Mark Shelton decides to slow down even just a little, and maybe that'll lead to an album filled entirely with new classics. |

Pantera - Mouth for War Still damn heavy and intense after all these years. Say what you will about Pantera but they did keep metal afloat in the '90s. They were proud to be metal at a time when Metallica and Megadeth were trying to water down their sound to win the mainstream audience. |

Blind Guardian - Live Beyond the Spheres Disappointing. The performances are largely fine, but the mix totally neuters it - Hansi and the lead guitar are pushed way up front, causing the songs to lose a lot of their oomph and showcasing Hansi's disappearing range. Pretty much found no reason to listen to any of these over the studio versions, unlike with Live. |

Pantera - "Power Metal" Why would any band ever want to disown a song this damn magnificent? |

soverysorry wrote: Behemoth - Thelema.6 I feel Satanica, Thelema.6 and Zos Kia Cultus are their own era of Behemoth. When they were the living definition of blackened death metal. This album doesn't seem to get much love, Satanica was the start of their death metal sound and Zos Kia was the real transition into it. But this kind of just got sandwiched in between, forgotten about. Well for me at least. I bought it about 10 years ago and for some reason didn't really care that much for it back then, not the same way I did Demigod at least. But going through the Archives and I can say it's gotten very few reviews. I don't understand why, it's fucking awesome. Nergal's lyrics as always are very cool. I feel like I'm reading the secret scriptures of some ancient heretic. I agree that definitely Zos Kia Cultus and Thelema.6 are their own brand of Behemoth before turning into more intense death metal from Demigod. I'm also one of the few that sort of neglect this one in favour of Demigod, as well. I need to stop that, haha. Anata - The Conductor's Departure It's such a shame that the band went through turmoil after this one. This album, especially the first half, is some of the best tech-death out there. |

Opium Warlords - Taste My Sword of Understanding First listen, and it seems like a highly demanding album. Still it's already made an impact. Heavy hammer, with traces (actually more than that) of Reverend Bizarre. |

Cradle of Filth - Cryptoriana yadda yadda yadda Hey, this is not the CoF I remember laughing at ten years ago or so! In fact, this is quite good indeed, especially compared to the sucky new Carach Angren album. Edit: I could swear that at one point in the final track, Dani Filth bellows the lyrics "I am the lord of the potato world". |

Dream Theater - Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper Looking forward to seeing these guys in September. I'm not a big fan of DT but I am a big fan of "Images and Words" and they'll be performing it in its entirety during their current tour. |

I don't know that I am necessarily a fan of Dream Theater either, but I still like Images & Words well enough, and I love Awake. Opeth - "When" Somewhere around fifteen years ago this was the first song I ever heard by Opeth, and for some reason I like it much more now than I did then. |

Undergang - "Rædselsfuld" I've tried to get through Undergang's Døden læger alle sår album before, but the production and song-writing is just too mind-numbing. I haven't heard their latest yet, but I've been giving some of their other stuff a shot, and it seems to be better. So far, I've especially been enjoying this song and the song from the split with Anatomia. They seem to do well when writing longer songs with slow, shambling riffs. |

Therion - "Birth of Venus Illegitima" For well over a decade I have rarely ventured beyond Vovin in one direction or another, and maybe that's because it's so damn good that I haven't needed to... Whatever the case, "Birth of Venus Illegitima" is still my favorite song by this band. |

Pagan Altar - Cry of the Banshee One of the most memorable songs in metal - I haven't heard this in maybe five years, and I still remember this iconoclastic riff and Terry Jones' warbly, hypnotic chorus. There's not much out there like Pagan Altar, and Mythical & Magical in particular always entranced me with its blend of 70s rock heaviness and folk leanings. Just one of the most iconoclastic, individual bands in metal. |

Akurion - Yet Ye See Them Not Just heard this for the first time and I'm very impressed. Always loved Mike DiSalvo's vocals and combined with the excellent musicianship from ex-Neuraxis members, everything just clicks. Can't wait for the full album now. |

Fields of the Nephilim - Moonchild Their most famous song. For a good reason, too. I like how there are always parts I haven't noticed, even after god knows how many listens. That's what makes this song (and most good goth rock) so enchanting, what with all the layeredness. |

Cryptopsy - Once Was Not A sadly overlooked album. I would have loved to have seen where Cryptopsy would've evolved had Lord Worm stayed. This album showed a clear interest in experimentation (without deathcore shit) and pointed to a maturity of their brutal and technical sound. I've only recently listened to newer Cryptopsy (Unspoken King not counting) and while it is very good and Cryptopsy-esque, it still feels like a different. Flo being the only original member just takes it away a little bit. I find it harder to get into the newest stuff. Still enjoy it though. I will say that the vocals are a little weak. They're not bad at all, I do actually like them, but more guttural and less raspy would've sounded better I think. That said the instrumentation on this album is just top quality. The riffs are insane - fast, technical, heavy, dark, catchy and jazzy all in the one song. Signature Cryptopsy, tbh. |

Megadeth - Captive Honor Next to 'Sweating Bullets', this has got to be the worst song on "Countdown...". Back in the day, I routinely skipped this track or when I still played cassettes, would fast forward to the next song. Mustaine occasionally makes songs where he uses spoken-word passages that comes off as annoying in its execution. You can find several of these songs throughout Megadeth's career from Countdown onward. And Countdown has 2 of these types of songs (the aforementioned Sweating Bullets being the other). Nauseating. |
