Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[SydneyBomber]

'Murder in the front row' dvd and brian slagel (metal blade) book arriving today.
Should keep me out of trouble for a day or two.
Will also pull the trigger on the 'damn the machine (noise records) book next - although a bit steep ($40+) for paperback on amazon.

Trying the new Falconer out. Saw the cd on the Utopia page today and it reminded me.

I’ve gotta give this another go. I’ve listened through maybe twice. I actually really like the Piano ballad ‘Rejoice the Adorned’. Nothing else really stood out.

Was listening to the first two Malice albums today.

I throw these guys, Warrior and Icon into one big molten pot of mid-tier 80s metal, safe in the knowledge that one big ladle always covers my toast and leaves me satisfied.

Yeah enjoy all three bands but only have the Icon debut. Heard they changed a bit with the second album.

Only got through a few songs whilst training. Will use my headphones tomorrow but the music did sound good. I have to be in a mood for that vocal style though. Previous album did nothing for me so hoping this is a decent send off.

Feeling like some sleaze, so playing Shout at the devil.

That they did, but still good tunes, just a little more synth. Check out ‘Danger Calling’.

Was browsing the offerings where I bought my speakers last year. Any takers??

I'll take 2, my remastered copy of ND's 'scum' will sound amazing

Roadrunner’s ‘Stars on Thrash’ cd. Odd to think that circa five years within this release Roadrunner had had a run with death metal, abandoned it and turned to s**t.

Wow, thats a blast from the past, I had that on vinyl, no idea where it ended up though.
And agreed, roadrunner (and the roadracer imprint i guess?) was definitely the seal of dm quality there for a few years (along with earache)

Pretty sure on the second track on my cd copy there is an audio vinyl pop. Gold. Late 80s to early 90s they had Obituary, Malevolent Creation, Deicide, Suffocation, Pestilence, Gorguts plus non their huge death metal acts Sepultura and King Diamond - that’s one handy roster. Pre death metal they also had a lot of prime metal plus licensed releases from US labels for Europe. Think Roadracer was just the name used outside of Europe due to copyright. Roadrunner, Earache, Nuclear Blast and Century Media were the four ‘big labels’. Roadrunner with the biggest fall from grace followed by Earache. NB and CM still release decent music IMO (though a lot of s**t too). NB probably the biggest metal label in the world? Who would have thought that in 1990.

Fmd near on half a million for speakers

I just bought a 300$ Technics mini system and that sounds good enough for me
Thing was mint too

 

[Paul Kersey]

Obliteration - Black Death Horizon. Reckon this band should be much more popular. Autopsy fans will love them.

Misthyrming - Algleymi

it has taken a while but it has finally clicked with me

 

[Paul Kersey]

Black Curse lp.

 

[Dee Snider]

Varathron "His Majesty at the Swamp'. New Live album out shortly, heard one song this morning (Son of the Moon) hence revisiting this old release in the office.

Unfortunately for me they just didn't have my color...

New Gotthard on Spotify. Just enough going on to hold my attention whilst working. Tried the new Voidceremony earlier - probably need to give it a spin a little later.

I thought you were into that from minute 1. Good album, prefer it over their first, haha.

Lost interest in these guys after Steve Lee died. From all reports replacement is good but I’ve just not given them any attention.

Gave it a listen but it never really clicked with me. For some reason recently that changed. Always good not to immediately write off stuff. Even latest Blut Aus Nord, while I really enjoyed it, it didn't really blow me away like most of their previous stuff considering they are one of my favourite bands. Then probably a month ago I put it back on and I heard it differently from before and now I love it.

Stargazer - TSTTTS

I remember you posting this, and it's been reminding me to give this a spin all week. Playing it in the car atm. Death Metal of rare quality.
