"Hey wait, this isn't the Morris Day photo shoot."

 

[Slammed]

He could just be jealous that it wasn't his day to wear the underwear with the pin in them.

 

[CiG]

I just noticed that, wtf.

 

[Slammed]

No idea, but you'd want to trust the person putting it in there.

 

[CiG]

Not as good as their new album but good shit nonetheless.

 

[Slammed]

Here ya go CIG Aussie death/doom. No idea who or what these guys are just found them on a new release list and they have such wonderful titles.

[CiG]

I believe I posted them around here somewhere, anyway yeah bit of an oddball band but I really like the album.

 

[Slammed]

I haven't heard it and probably wont but it was popping up on every bloody site I was looking at.

 

[CiG]

Why won't?

 

[Slammed]

I'm a bit over growly vocals atm

 

[CiG]

Ah okay fair enough, I go through periods like that myself.

 

[Slammed]

FARK! I just realised that Taipan released their new album last week.

 

[CiG]

Black Majesty is good.
I do plan on checking out Convent Guilt
Dethlahem I thought was ok
Espionage was better than their previous efforts
Maniaxe I gave a pass too on first listen
On My Command not bad
Still haven't listened to Road Warrior

 

[Satanstoenail]

Maniaxe are great, seen them live a few times. Proper old school thrash.

 

[Slammed]

At this stage my top 10 will be made up of the following

After Burner - After Burner
Black Majesty - Children Of The Abyss
Dethlahem - The Birthplace Of Deth
Devil Electric - Devil Electric
Espionage - Digital Dystopia
Hidden Intent - Fear Prey Demise
Lethal Vendetta - No Prisoners No Mercy
Maniaxe - Canticles Of Corruption
On My Command - Apparitions
Star Eternal - Archetypica
Taipan - Night Visions
Vulturous - Slave To The Shadows
Witchskull - Coven's Will

Possibly Convent Guilt if I get it in time (not sure when it's released) and maybe Road Warrior if I remember to bandcamp it.

 

[CiG]

Road Warrior are now selling copies directly, so they're actually affordable for Aussies now. Convent Guilt's album is out 9th or 10th of next month.

 

[Slammed]

I need to write a note for myself to go and listen to it on their bandcamp page to see if I want to buy it.

 

[Slammed]

I am probably the only one interested in this, (because I'm a tragic Sons fan) but Sons Of Steel in coming out in ebook form. 5 books in the series tracing a similar path to the original movie that may or may not be available these days. With nuclear explosions, governments being over thrown half dressed women, holograms, the dreaded hybrid Kangaroo Wolf, a dick shaped missile and extremely poor taste humour what more could one want for christmas!

 

[Slammed]

Another Aussie release from last week. I haven't listened to it so no idea how they sound
