Curt McGirt Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 https://www.invisibleoranges.com/tower-interview/ My NYC homies in Tower are putting out a new LP. Their last one was my favorite of 2016 and this one might be even better (the link is embedded a ways down in the interview). Female fronted, totally '80s heavy metal, love it to death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Finally a new Aquilus album after 10 years. This might as well be classical music. Album of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Happy new Eskimo Callboy song day! Thanks to the Hypa Hypa remixes, I've gotten into We Butter the Bread With Butter. Their new album is a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) I just got a vinyl copy (Die Hard Edition, two gold colored discs with a pin of a frog-samurai and a sticker and poster) of my favorite Sabbat record. Just incredible stuff. EDIT: Oh and the fourth side is an etching! So really deluxe. Edited December 4, 2021 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 Snagged this in honor of the late, great Evil Chuck. Incredible album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Metallica's best song is "Orion". I win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's Fade to Black, dammit! But this is like a participation trophy question, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Here's a hot take, the only Metallica song I've actually gone out of my way to listen to in the last 4 years is King Nothing. Anyway, I feel like listening to some good old shit today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 The new Voivod album is, as expected, excellent. And terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 My favorite album of last year. Deathcore with nu-metal influences and one of the premier frontmen in metal today. A few of the songs have found their way onto my everyday playlist (Baba Yaga, Bratva, Bonebreaker, I Killed a Man). Good stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Indian metal group Bloodywood put out their first album (Rakshak) a few days ago. And if you don't know them, you should get acquainted with them. They remind me a lot of Rage Against the Machine: wicked riffs and drums with traditional Indian sounds and very political lyrics. They've released three singles and none have missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Finally got my hands on an LP copy of this. Svart Records, as always, did it up right by putting it with the demo on a separate disc and throwing in a 20 someodd page booklet with all the band stuff they could scrape up. If you like it heavy and slooooooooow this is for you. This is a new find. All these war metal bands like militaristic sounds but rarely sound like that, THESE guys do. The drummer manages to use accents to turn blast beats into marching drills! It's pretty gnarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireThunder Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Rammstein's newest album, Zeit, was released today. it's rumored that this might be their final album, especially since most of the songs on the album deal with time and aging. The third single/video for the album was released today as well, Angst. It's probably the heaviest of the songs on Zeit as well as having a music video that's very topical as well as nightmare inducing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I know this is hardly current, nor is it news, but like How in the actual fuck did Bruce Dickinson off the back of throat cancer have this good a voice in his mid-late 50's? Can we just stop for a minute to consider the possibility this dude isn't actually human? I finally got to see them live around this time and it's definitely no post production bullshit, he blew me out of my fucking chair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Also, while I'm in here, Rammstein own. I got into them very early on in their careers when I was in high school and when they finally, mercifully, many years later did a major north American tour I lost my shit when I found out they were doing Edmonton. Few things are ever gonna equal hearing Links 2 3 4 live and in person. Fucking amazing stage show. Flamethrowers, ho! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) I caught them on the Somewhere Back in Time tour and they blew me literally to the floor on more than one point, groveling on my knees in worship. Bruce Bruce has to be superhuman at this point. There's something about that guy. Was talking with Mark from Impetigo on Facebook today and he mentioned that Tyrant from Nifelheim (bassist, one of the twins -- and the guy on the left in my personal pic) said he saw Maiden over 200 times! Hey, speaking of Nifelheim: New lineup but they still kill it, even without the pyro. Blacky from the Czech gods Root is playing guitar for them now, so better than ever. I was gonna post their set taped for Rockpalast but unfortunately it is behind a private wall on Youtube and Facebook now, the bastards.

FireThunder Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 There's a few shows I'm sad I missed out on. Heaven and Hell before Dio's death is at the top of the list but not going to see Maiden is pretty high. Every time I watch Flight 666 videos I'm in awe of how great their live shows are and Bruce is... well.. Bruce. Human Air Raid Siren, indeed. Finally, after a two year delay and surprise album release, I get to see Rammstein on their stadium tour in Minneapolis in August. I've been trying my hardest not to spoil the set list but it's taking what seems like a ton of self-control not to peek. I saw them on the MiG tour ten years ago (really? wow) and it's one of the best experiences I've had. I dragged my brother-in-law with me as a payback for taking me to a previous concert (Metallica with frickin' GOJIRA and Lamb of God opening) and as we left, with my ears ringing and voice blown out, I asked him what he thought of the concert. He paused and said "Honestly, I didn't expect much. But that's probably the best concert I've ever been to." So I'm taking him along again.
