Some new albums i'm enjoying. Souza sounds so much like Paul Baloff....it feels like he's channeling him or something.
Finally, we are seeing the re issue of the No Mercy album at the end of the month ! I hope it comes out with a bunch of Ric Clayton's art : )
^ Where is this being released ? Always loved the Venice Beach bands.....just listened to my Excel-Split Image record the other day Had to put this up for post 666 plus it has Godzilla in it
I like the new Judas Priest, but I like all Judas Priest. I like the new Sabaton, but I like all the Sabaton. and Grim Reaper, cause fucking Grim Reaper.
Grim Reaper is such a great band. I remember a girl in junior high school told me I was going to hell because I was wearing a Grim Reaper shirt Pretty much had all three of their albums in rotation since they dropped. Another favorite...
Just got this digest sized comic in the mail. Contains tributes from metal luminaries and comic book artists. Makes a nice compendium to the same sized/themed Mercyful Fate tribute from the same dudes. Only Tom G. Warrior is real.
^ I wanted to order one but it was 14$ just for shipping, here on Morgoth I sent a mail asking if there was a way around Storenvy, I still have to hear from them.
I ordered mine from Hell's Headbangers....shipping was $3 and change. Let me know if you need help acquiring one. Decibel released their top 40 albums from 2014. As usual, agree with some, not with others. A few of my favorites from the past year (in no particular order) Hirax - Immortal Legacy Godflesh - World Lit Only By Fire Triptykon - Melana Chasmata Myrkur - Myrkur (ep) Exodus - Blood in Blood Out Bolzer - Soma (ep) Morbus Chron - Sweven Overkill - White Devil Armory Panopticon - Roads To The North Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere Primordial - Where Greater Men Have Fallen
^ some good stuff in your list - I forgot to revisit this thread ! The releases I'll assosicate with 2014 in 10 years from now are : Baby Metal (s/t) Myrkur (s/t) Royksopp : Do It Again / The Inevitable End Version *(Royksopp are Black Metal, I don't wanna see anyone argue with that) Still need to order The Deathtrip's Deep Drone Master
Picked this up recently thanks to Skinner's IG. A double lp comp. of bands who weren't really feeling the whole hippy thing, and were influenced by Black Sabbath. Really cool stuff from mostly garage type bands of the 70's who were maybe a bit sloppy and recorded a 7 inch in mom's basement...which makes it fuckin rad. Some of the bands were clearly deserving of more attention....
^ This made my day. I require more information though....who's playing bass ? When is it being released? Love the reference to the first words spoken on Killing Technology in the song title. Really cool slow breakdown at the 3:00 mark....Voivod rules. I think Piggy would be proud of the job Daniel Mongrain is doing....dude is a beast on the six string.
The new bassist is Dominique Laroche. Unknown in metal circles as far as I know but known for playing bass with a buch of famous mainstream local acts. Meanwhile, I think Blacky completely lost it http://nukronic.com My favorite speed metal band of recent years left Quebec for the States recently, never had the chance to catch them (her...) live
Why the hell can't Blacky be an environmentalist and the bassist in Voivod ? I like Demona's Banzai tattoo Checked these guys out due to the vocalist of Bolzer being on it......not disappointed.
Went and watched Wolvhammer and 1349 last night. Pretty solid stuff been a Wolvhammer fan for a bit never had the chance to see them great guys and killer live act.
Loving the 5 song ep by BAT. Felix from D.R.I. is on drums, dude from Municipal Waste on bass & vocals, can't recall who the guitarist is... Brings to mind Venom, Hellhammer/Frost, and old school thrash like Sodom, Onslaught, etc.
The new album from Leviathan is fuckin' nuts !!! In a good way, mind you. The cd package is kick ass too...comes in a spiffy box with 11 mini art prints by Jef. The last new album I listened to this much was 'Colored Sands' by Gorguts, which ended up being my favorite album that year.
I was wondering when someone would bring this up! I didn't want to be the first to post about it because I thought maybe I was biased and a bit too excited for this album. But I can't stop listening either. It such a quality release.
