King Crimson - The Power To Believe

- A good day for a swell battle!
- This match will get red hot!
- Here's a real high-class bout!
- A great slam and then some!
- A brawl is surely brewing!

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Lonely and Strange

Title to describe me, yay.
Killer tune!

Testament - Low (1994)

I've always loved this misunderstood album... I feel like the sound was way ahead of its time. The rumbling death groove on Legions (In Hiding) still floors me!

Cradle Of Filth- Heartbreak and Seance

I'm almost mad about how much I love this. This is the most I've enjoyed a CoF album since Midian.

If you love that, you'll adore The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders.


Sentenced- Shadows of the Past

Monarch - Never, Forever

Gearing up for their show with Bell Witch tonight. Gloomy night here in Seattle, perfect weather for some funeral doooooooom

IXION - "The Ocean" from Return

Been spinning this album frequently as of late. Nice little slab of modern atmospheric doom.

Behold! A Now Playing post in the style of my favorite Now Playing-poster, the illustrious BasqueStorm





(2017) Subterranean Masquerade – Vagabond and (2017) Entheogen - Without Veil, Nor Self during work
and

They're.


I don't like Testament but (1994) Testament - Low and (1999) Testament - The Gathering do something for me.


Lucky bastard! Enjoy!






N.P: Nothing. I just woke up.

Emoticon overload, unnecessarily putting the year along with the album name, "at work", seems right.

NP:
Fen - "III (Fear)"

Probably my favorite track from the Winter album. I think this album's solidified its spot in my top 10 for the year.

We know, we know.

Totally forgot about this band! I have their debut but nothing else. Need to look more into them.

Alchemist - Austral Alien album

And again I'm speachless...I should quit all, abandon everything and find myself a nice desert to vanish..

PS. If anyone know something trippy-similar, please - lemme know asap XD

Dio - Lock Up the Wolves

Killer song and album!

Faith No More - Caffeine

Whenever I'm in the mood for Angel Dust it's usually a week-long bender. No other sounds necessary. I have been spinning Johnny Winter - Second Winter a lot too though.

Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation

In what world does this suck? Not one I want to be in, whatever it may be.

Earth and Pillars - Pillars I

The 18-minute-long first song offered some seriously impressive and emotive black metal. I look forward to seeing what the rest of this album has to offer.

Perfect amount of blues, perfect amount of rock. The dude was an underappreciated legend. Also, gotta love "Im not sure." Never heard a song with the vibe quite like that one.

NP: Brutus - Burst
I've had a few months to really gestate this album. Still as impressed now as I was on first listen. Probably my favorite 2017 album.

You might like Mithras. Check out 'On Strange Loops' if you haven't already. Heavier stuff than Alchemist but reminds me of them in a lot of ways.

Cacophony - Black Cat

Friedman/Becker are just on another level from other guitarists. The songwriting definitely leaves something to be desired but these guys are just crazy talented.

PROMETHEAN
It's a french black metal band with quite technical skills and keyboards.
Saw them live yesterday, it reminded me of old EMPEROR, with the sound and atmosphere it seemed really end 90's

Kendrick Lamar - Pride

Haven't played this in a few months - chalk that up to too many albums and too little time. This is one of the best albums this year. A tour de force of rage and bluesy sorrow and honest grit. Fascinating music.

Melechesh - Sphynx

Gaaaaaah this rules! \m/

Honestly it's my all time favorite Death Metal. Really sad that the new Morbid Angel album blows though.

GosT- Night Crawler, been on a synthwave binge. This songs sounds like something you would hear in an 80's dark action film.

Mannn that song transcends! The acid clavi madness literally tickles my guts. JW for me is the best of all those 60s guitar cats - even Hendrix was in awe of that dude.

Speaking of being in awe...

NP: Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked

Synonymous with "modern day masterpiece"

Adramelech - "Eyes of Alabaster"

this has become one of my favorite power/prog albums of late. Really into the bizarro, twangy guitar tone, and this song has a god-tier epic riff halfway though. Glorious, catchy, medieval metal!!

Twenty One Pilots - 'Heathens'

Literally the best thing to come out of Suicide Squad.

Thantifaxath - Ocean of Screaming Spheres.

New EP, had no idea about a new release whatsoever.

Mors Principium Est - Embers of a Dying World

I don't see why people don't seem to like this one. I mean, I haven't heard this band's earlier works, and this album only gets seriously good starting in about the middle part, but still...

(2017) Morbid Angel - Kingdoms Disdained on my way to work.

Halfway through my second listen but nothing sticks.

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind

Some lesser tracks, which are still good. The rest is mastery.

^
Still Life is the unsung king, i love the creepy vibe!

Tyr - Rage of the Skullgaffer

This track is the natural consequence of having two almost Petrucci-level shredders in the same band

Sentenced - My Sky is Darker Than Thine

Where has this been all this time?

(2000) Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation and (2003) Morbid Angel - Heretic on my way back from work.

First one is getting better but WTF is at the ending of the second one?

Cult of Eibon - Lycan Twilight Sorcery

Incredible stuff.

Stormlord - Hesperia

Jesus, man. I thought this would be mediocre, but it's awesome!

Urn - The Burning

May not be anything groundbreaking, but I find myself coming back to this album over and over. Definitely gonna make my end of the year list.

Anti-Nowhere League- "My God's Bigger Than Your God".

Badass punk anthem that's not afraid to flip the middle finger at EVERY religion, not just Christianity.

Blind Guardian - Traveler In Time

What Hansi does with his voice on here is crazy. Super complex, Queen-esque choirs and multiple parts. Blistering speed metal to back it up - so badass.

Perihelion - Orveny

a little outside of my usual taste, but this is some beautiful post/prog metal from Hungary.
