Still remember back in '08 buying a shirt, LP and 7 inch from Rob Evil with a fucking mailing cheque, before he got locked up. Throughout the pandemic he was teasing a new album but 2021 was the last update. Hope we get it one day and I hope it's under 30 minutes again!
Anyways, here's my list. Takin' the Piss with 2006:
1. Endwarfment - The Paralympik Sessions Favourite song: "Diffenately Abledd"
2. Your Kid's on Fire - Aught Six: A Necrodyssey Favourite song: "Beyond the Darkness"
3. Repugnant - Epitome of Darkness Favourite song: "Sacred Blasphemy"
4. Warning - Watching from a Distance Favourite song: "Watching from a Distance"
5. The Bretwaldas of Heathen Doom - Battle Staffs in the Mushroom Woods Favourite song: "Haunted Ride"
6. Accept Death - Accept Death Favourite song: "Kill Everyone"
7. Solitude Aeturnus - Alone Favourite song: "Scent of Death"
8. Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years Favourite song: "Trot Out the Dead"
9. Gut - The Cumback 2006 Favourite song: "Jenna Haze (You're a Pro)"
10. Coffins - The Other Side of Blasphemy Favourite song: "Evil Infection"
1. Warning - Watching from a Distance
An unparalleled emotional wallop across all genres and personal GOAT contender. 2. Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years
Bombastic, organ-fueled political heavy metal that hits especially hard in times of war and societal dysfunction... evergreen, in other words. 3. Antiquus - Eleutheria
Beautifully vivid sci-fi storytelling that deftly matches emotional peaks within the story to emotional peaks in the music. Not only the best discovery I've made sifting through 2006 releases recently, but also my greatest (full-length album) obsession of 2024. 4. Bretwaldas of Heathen Doom - Battle Staffs in the Mushroom Woods
One: Bretwaldas needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine. Two: whenever Bretwaldas is not playing, all the other bands should be asking, "where's Bretwaldas?" 5. Dim Mak - Knives of Ice
Violent techdeath as immediate and viscerally satisfying as the martial arts films it pays homage to. Makes you want to break bricks with your hands and jiggle your pecs like Bolo Yeung. SHOW US STORM!! 6. Martyr - Feeding the Abscess
7. Pharaoh - The Longest Night
8. Zemial - In Monumentum
9. Keep of Kalessin - Armada
10. Summoning - Oath Bound
