[Paul Kersey]

[Jala_86]

Liked youre speeches but heavy metal well not best music for old fashion Finn.

Derm said on the radio today the best album ever made was Powerage.. I guess the albums you hear when you're 14 usually are!

I did hear him say that. Least he likes rock not like Andrew Maher

Listening to the 2021 Remix & Remaster of Iron Savior's "The Landing" album. Actually sounds pretty good. Highly processed guitars and all. Worth taking a listen for the mighty "Heavy Metal Never Dies" alone if anyone is interested.

Gotta say on first listen I'm quite enjoying this Exodus disc.

Got through 7 songs whilst driving this morning. Found it really lacking IMO. That said If I see a $20 jewel case edition I will pick it up though not dropping $35 for the digi edition JB has on its website.

Was thinking the same thing regarding the double disc

Never been a fan of Exodus vocals in general. Musically they're killer but find Zetro a bit grating.

Love his vocals. Didn't love his 'death metal' ones that I heard this morning though. Just went to JB and nothing really there. Be nice if Melbourne had a Utopia.

1914 - Where Fear and Weapons Meet. Interesting symphonic BM (and it is nice to get a Ukrainian BM band that deal with war who don't seem to be NSBM for a change). It worked on me as the album progressed; from the first song it seemed like over-produced BM for a Wacken audience. That impression didn't necessarily change, but I found myself liking it more, though, and am now interested in their other work even if they're not the typical raw BM from Scandinavia or Deutschland that I tend to be obsessed with. The symphonic elements contain a certain bombast which reminds me of Ex Deo, for some reason, even though both bands play very different styles. It has led to me chasing it with Ex Deo - I Caligvla (Roman history is my favourite history).

 

[Borough Blood]

Anyone into the Converge/Chelsea Wolfe album?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Was gonna go watch Titane but thought I'd catch Lamb before it finished its run. Finally picked up the first Brutal Truth on vinyl - hopefully arrive within a week.

Agreed.

The album before ‘The Blind Leading the Blind’ was one of my 2019 albums of the year.

I'll be sure to check it out, your recommendations never lead me astray.

Not sure if anyone follows Annihilator main man Jeff Waters’ exploits but these pics of his Watersound Studios in the UK are pretty cool.

I saw the other day that he's recording with Lombardo?! Good get
And one of the 18000 iced earth singers.

Annihilator have some absolute classics (1st two albums are largely mint), and some absolute dross too.
As amazing of a guitarist as he is, i think he needs a good songwriting partner to help keep him focused and to weed out the rubbish

Yes Lombardo & Stu Block.

I’d agree with most of this, and I’d add he needs to work with a good vocalist again (hello Stu Block), Waters’ vocals are a bit bland.

FYI - Recent album his best in 15 years.

Sounds like it would be up my alley, will listen soon!

MGLA Exercises in Futility



As someone in the YT comments said, MGLA aren't angry, they are just disappointed.

Are rumours about Drudkh true?

Are rumours about Drudkh true?

From what I've come across, Drudkh as a band may not be NSBM but some of the members have expressed some pretty dodgy sympathies and expressed admiration for some Ukrainian nationalists who collaborated with the Germans against the Russians (with plenty of the obvious groups caught in the middle). The issue is a lot of this is still conjecture, and there's a real climate of witch hunting driven by anti-fascist groups who tend to rely on fascist means to accomplish their ends. While Nazism is never okay, I'm also not going to just denounce anyone based on internet rumours.
