Celtic Frost - Into the Crypts of Rays - God be damned l need more CF in my life. Primitive perfection. That bass drum sound.. the lead.. Tom.. and the riffs! 10/10 On my second beer cause l listened to it 4 times.
Valhalla - Nightstalker - Ah yeah listen to the bass while that tasty geetar goes around in circles. Love the keyboard stuff too. The guy has a pleasing yet delicate/weak/feeble/lazy/ throat made for true heavy metal. Great stuff! Killer leads! 9/10
Impact - Knowledge is King - 91 huh? Would not have guessed that from the intro, but that's cause l just smoked my first joint and my ears just aren't what they used t - ohshut up man. Someone said Araya vocals? oh yeah. Some wicked instrumentation here but that's cause it's fucking Darren Abad playing geetar guys. Darren fuckin Abad. No? Nope me neither. Killer shit. Ended just as l was about to do an Arg with anal. But without the porn. Love the speed riffs! 8/10 3rd beer
Cranium - Dentist of Death - Wow that's an instant 10/10 because it has everything l want in a speed metal song. I'm not about to tell you what that is but it's all here man. Cranium you have a friend for life. Gene Hoglan assistant engineer er? Grave Raper is the singer. Grave Raper. Oh shit only released on CD. Holy fuck this is the best mix tape game ever. Cheapest for sale is from some bum in Sweden! I don't trust those fucking assholes Jesus that bit from 0.33 - 0.45 is just perfection. and then a bit later 'Open your mouth idiot!' This is GENIUS!! Oh yeah this is right up my alley. Started my 5th beer on this cause that was 7 listens. cheers to the wonderful soul that subbed this
Target - Absolution by Termination - As l had thought might happen, after an immediate and massive come down from the erb, this fails to continue on with my best PL ever thing. Sorry guys. Target are a very respectable young band from Dunstable who will no doubt continue to break new ground in the New Year. All going well. Well, maybe. 'Probably the very best tech thrash has to offer' says some pollock on YT. Not quite mate. This is fine. It's non-threatening, kinda dull plodding tech-thrash-metal l would prolly invite the guys over to meet me ma and be done with them. 6/10
Sigh - In the Mind of a Lunatic - I though Sigh was a brutal Japanese BM band. I had not heard their music before this and it's kinda good. Kinda wtf. Oh they are the same band? I would have been gutted buying this way back when thinking l was getting a ferocious BM onslaught. But I'm older now. This is not something I'd search but it's cool. They do that ayyaa-aaayyyaaa thing which sucks of course 7/10 Typical BM vox is bland but the music is interesting enough and sweet female background vox too.
Blessed Sickness - The Butcher - These guys are such a mix of several established DM bands.. it's really difficult trying to roll another spliff, type, drink and listen at the same time whilst collecting my thoughts about another fantastic piece of notes that is over in less than 2 minutes.. this slays.. weird production but l dig. 8/10
Iced Earth - Jack - This band never did anything whatsoeveratall for me. Back when this came out these guys seemed to be watered down Metallica, Testament etc even tho they were more extreme. 3rd joint Coming from Melbourne tho, we didn't really hear much. Well, It's pretty fucking stale. Really boring repeating riffs and that's it! 4/10
Mortillery - Sunday Morning Slasher - Yeah bouncy chugging thrash! I passed on buying this several months ago and maybe should revisit that purchase.. these guys tend to sit on that Violator Municipal Waste bucket, love it. 8/10
Torture Killer - Sewers - AAAGGHHHH ya burying the vox man. This rules! I am a simple DM loving creature and these guys peaked my ears for that great tone, evil vox and - take away the slightly pedestrian main riff - tremolo madness. Wine next 9/10 Just wish they'd deleted the intro voice over!
Hellwell - To Serve Man - 30 secs in.. Oh this sounds gorgeous! After the last few tracks we would be remiss not to reintroduce the best mix tape game ever again! Omg this is fuckin awesome Hellwell what the fuck??? Thematic (oh yeah we have a theme) but l mean musically, Hellwell you fucking beast! Must explore these guys more, ah see how these guys are linked to MR. Mr Shelton ftw Godly! 10/10 OOOHHH this is great, all you fuckers moaning about how long it is.. 1/10, but my score this evening is a perfect 10!
Night Demon - Killer - Some promises of shred in the intro. But no Night Demon, l can see right through you. These guys wanted to be huge. But they didn't have it. They could only hold hands. Not willies 3/10 Killer tone but little substance destroyed ND from much more than a minor following on the outskirts of Rock City. They had looks, money and torn jeans. You were their bitch. But they kinda sucked
Judas Priest - The Ripper - This cheeky video didn't want to represent here. What a cunt. But me being a total sleuth I found it er? (I think) About to pop the cork. Of course, one of the greatest from one of the greatest. If you don't admire it it's you. 10/10
Gorerotted - To Catch a Killer(A Serial Sing-A-Long) - John, Jack, Jeff, Ted, Fred and John George. Omg what a blast! 10/10
