Hypocrisy - Paled Empty Sphere

So fucking majestic, like Richie Blackmore wrote an extreme metal ballad or something.

Manowar - Hail, Kill and Die

I like the riff on this one. When it came up on iTunes shuffle and I didn't know which artist it was yet, I never would've guessed it was Manowar.

Primordial - Imrama

Overall this is good album but there are so many tracks I didn't enjoy.

Von - Satanic Blood [demo]

This is bad, really bad. Don't purchase it if you wanted to collect rare demo(s).

Scythe - Creation of Wrath

My most fave track from the album. I like the simplistic opening riff which sounds heavier than most riffs out there.

Fortunately, they got even better with the next two ones

Amon Amarth - The Last with Pagan Blood

Did Manowar wrote the lyrics? surprisingly good riffs here, the tremolo picked one in the chorus in particular

Nocturnal Rites - What's Killing Me

Dark, heavy power metal. They used to be a death metal band - I can hear that on here. Polished, but apocalyptic and dour in vibe/atmosphere. Great vocal-work.

Deathrow - Deception Ignored

WAIT WHAT

Exodus- Chemi-Kill

Fucking spectacular! Wouldn't be out of place on Bonded By Blood.

Metal Church - Western Alliance

Sweet blazing speed metal that's clearly inspired by ''Freewheel Burning''.

Rotting Christ - Cold Colours

Sleep of the Angels is an underrated album from this mighty band.

PassCode - VIRTUAL - NINJA BOMBER

This is like a poppier and more quirky Blood Stain Child.Give this song (and album) a try if you are into that sort of thing.

Cradle Of Filth - Gothic Romance (Red Roses For The Devil's Whore)

This is a truly ambitious, daring band. I am attracted to that quality no matter what the genre is... it's what drives me to really be interested in music a lot of the time. Actually creepy orchestral bits, mounting, colossal guitars and spooky sounds throughout. Good for Halloween.

^ I get the feeling you've become quite fond of that band.


Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness

Yes!

It's just surprising to me really.

Son House - Levee Camp Blues

Long blues drawl - needed something stripped down and folksy after all the metal the last few days.

Falconer - At The Jester's Ball

This is incredible actually - really sweet, classic metal-style guitar ownage. Been ages since I heard these guys... that was a mistake. Matthias Blad is awesome.

Tarot - Midwinter Nights

Ideal music for drafting Ice Age/Alliances (mtg).

I just came across Ultima Ratio - Lord of the Dungeon and I think it's a quite impressive bm/ambient track. Also currently listening to Tsjuder's album "Kill for Satan". And as you can see, I like to put albums I recently listened to in my signature.

Stormtroopers of Death-Premenstrual Princess Blues
ANDY, WHERE ARE MY MAXI PADS.

Just discovering the greatness of my personal favorite thrash album of all time, are you?

Grave Digger - Excalibur

This is REALLY good.

(2010) Deathspell Omega - Paracletus and (2008) Deathspell Omega - Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum: Chaining the Katechon on my way to work.
Some good ideas here and there but...

Antekhrist, Fukked by Satan.



The fully ambient / instrumental version of FbG.

King Diamond - Sleepless Nights

Its that time of the year!!

(2004) Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice on my way back from work.

MUCH better.

Agalloch - The Mantle

Not exactly sure what my favorite band is, but Agalloch have been among the contenders for years.

Agreed. Don't miss the follow-up Kenose EP - some of their most brilliant work is on that EP, and it isn't until Fas that they freak out and decide they've been too accessible. For that matter, don't miss Mass Grave Aesthetics. (I didn't really get into Diabolus Absconditus, apart from a couple sections.)

NP: Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain

Blut Aus Nord - The Mystical Beast of Rebellion

Underrated.

Häive - Turma

Excellent new song from Häive. Preordered!

Bölzer - Roman Acupunture

Saw these guys live a few times during their demo/EP era, and have no desire to check out the full-length after the few bits I've heard...

^ Hero is a killer album.

Horrid Cross - II (from Live Exorcism)

Music to break bones by.

Saint Vitus - Heavier Than Thou

Compilation album by Saint Vitus. Great.

Thanks!

(2007) Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum and (2005) Deathspell Omega - Kénôse on my way to work.

Same. Some good ideas in the first one and the second one is REALLY good.

Rotting Christ - Exiled Archangels

Thy Mighty Contract is pure euphoria from beginning to end.

Revisiting The Gathering's "Mandylion". Currently on Leaves.

The Gathering has been underrated (by me).

(2009) Peste Noire - Ballade cuntre lo Anemi francor on my way back from work.

Man...

Succumb - Destroyer II

Oh boy, this is some utterly rabid and unhinged death metal. Reminds me of Vorum's latest EP due to sheer mania.

King Diamond - Give Me Your Soul ...Please

Must say I like this album. Not as good as The Puppet Master of the recent ones, but good neverthless. Can't understand what's going in the story though. My poor English.

(2007) Peste Noire - Folkfuck folie on my way to work.

Their worst?

I've been interested in adding more Anathema to my line-up. Decided to give The Optimist a listen on YouTube.

So that's what's playing now, that whole album. So far, it's chill but that's what I was expecting from these guys. I may buy the album.

Sabbat - Torment in the Pentagram (from Evoke)

These guys are maybe the most consistent band I know of, now that Manilla Road has started to show signs of aging. I cannot WAIT to see how they follow up Sabbatrinity. I'm selfishly hoping there will be some guest-axe by Temis.

It's a very good album! I really like the things they explored with Close Your Eyes, and I'm really hoping to hear more things in that vein from them. Every time they change their style, there's a very vocal group of fans who feel betrayed by them, but I feel like the band is simply at its best when they go forward.
