Brian Fowler Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So, 3/5 of Children of Bodom announced they are leaving the band after December 15's concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yeah, I know I posted this band before. These guys are, like, my favourite thing about 2019. I get endless amusement out of the fact the lead singer/guitarist looks like a high school science teacher but can just absolutely shred out solos and riffs to make mortals weep. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I have nothing but love for Ozzy and all he's done for us but that new single is absolutely dire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 This deserves a post. I thought the first one was pretty overrated, although decent; this one however is really good. Faster and the progressive influence is more present. Me likey. Their logo is still the shits though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I feel like there's a subset of metal designers who feel if you can read a band's logo, it's too mainstream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 It is patently stupid. Do you really want a teenager to not be able to scrawl your logo on their notebooks and desks at school? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 https://invictusproductions666.bandcamp.com/album/copulation-of-cloven-hooves New Slutvomit, a total ripper. It's basically the best Nifelheim album since Servants of Darkness. Unfortunately the Bandcamp doesn't have the bonus tracks I downloaded, which are ultra-fast covers of Sodom's "Outbreak of Evil" and (get this) Judas Priest's "Dissident Aggressor" (!). Nifelheim IS coming out with a new album, incidentally, and have a new 7". And speaking of classic bands with new material... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Bonus! Just found this, a little taste of live Nifelheim with them covering Tormentor from Hungary (who had a singer by the name of Attila, who you might remember from a little album called De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas). Bombs, chains, spikes, nails, receding hairlines. And yes the bass player and singer are twin brothers, and yes they are in my personal pic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 If I were a wrestler I'd probably get these guys to write my theme song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue: Deathrash Edition I can't stop listening to this fucking record. As much as it sounds like Slayer it's twice as hardcore-influenced (listen to the second side especially) and just rough and rugged. Forward to Termination is great too but this one is the killer. These Italian bastards have a new album that just came out but this one before it is my favorite of their four. Bulldozer meets first album Bathory and a lot of D-beat. It's a perfect combination. From Brasil (of course, considering they named their band after an Attomica song) and sounds like it, except the vocals which are totally Mille from Kreator. Ed Repka coverart (or Ed Repka ripoff coverart?) has been done to death but aside from that this is really good... and REALLY fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad to report the whole record is kinda butt (though unlike you, I actually did like the single). The only stand out tracks to me are Eat Me and Scary Little Green Men. Everything else is very, very skippable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 https://thedeathmetalcult.bandcamp.com/album/ruin-absconder-split Have to pimp this for my boy Brad from Absconder. This is their new tape split with Ruin from Cali. Probably the heaviest thing you will listen to all year. Toss 'em a couple bucks for the tape or the download if you dig it.

RazorbladeKiss87 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 This grindcore doc just got posted to Youtube by the creator. I just started it so no comment on how it is but the opening bit of Repulsion footage is cool to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 It's really good. My only complaint is that Carcass doesn't get brought up until almost the end. There is a surprising amount of focus on Anal Cunt which I'm sure will not be to everyone's taste but it is an interesting story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 I've never been a big Hypocrisy fan, but I grew up with this song on the Death... Is Just the Beginning Vol. III comp and it has a KILLER solo in it. Also, their second album, now that I finally hear it, is pretty solid. So is this one. Now maybe I'll try getting into Penetralia again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Had to order this from Hammerheart Records in Germany so it took a month to get here (surprisingly fast considering the obvious). This is one of the great thrash bands of the '80s that easily smokes more popular and far weaker bands like Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, etc. Instead of their meandering songs and wimpy singers, this is pure piss and vinegar. Stacy "Sheepdog" McLaren has the best snarls and especially high screams of anybody, the songwriting is compact and intense, and everything just rips. Canada's finest!
