I wish Lords were still making music. This album is such a delight.

 

I chortled.

Also, re: Lords of Chaos. Never saw the movie - need to - but I did read the book. Book was an engaging read tbh. Gets into some pretty interesting historical stuff about the weirdly long-running flirtationship between far-right extremism and the occult. Goes back farther than I could've imagined. Definitely recommend the book, although it can get a little bit dry at times.

 

Fucking love meth.

 

fuck I haven't listened to this band in ages. good stuff.

 

Wasn't sure where to post this but the new Ozzy album is legitimately really good.

 

hell yeah, you want some sick thrash from Spain? I thought it was gonna be lame because of the art but it's full of sick riffs. came out on V-day:

April looking stacked

 

ok FINE triple post (I switched shifts today so I'm off with nothing better to go lol) but here is some sick OSDM from Japan that came out Jan 24th, it riffs hard:

 

I’ll take some new Traveler hell yeah

 

Got this coming up in about a month. The room holds like 100 people. I can't wait.
Not So Fun Wknd: PORTRAYAL OF GUILT • Glassing • Meth.• Niis • Urn

 

Not sure if this was ever posted or not... I'm a few weeks late, but this thing rips.

 

These Are 'The 50 Greatest Death Metal Bands Right Now' According To Kerrang! | Theprp.com

 

Creeping Death that low on the list should be a criminal offence

 

It blows my mind that Gatecreeper tops that list. Sure, they've got some bangers....but they're a mid tempo generic HM-2 core band. Their album last year was just decent. But I guess this list refers to how active they are and not necessarily quality.

Anyways friendly remember that #17 on that list is one of my favorite underrated bands atm

 

I'm not surprised because they were also #2 on the Top 50 American metal bands list that Kerrang did lol

 

Like I'd personally say Creeping Death stand out way more from a lot of the other bands higher up than them on that list

 

Yeah, I have never, ever understood the Gatecreeper hype. Everyone acts like they're totally changing the game and all I hear is like you said, generic HM-2 d-beat but somehow they have the reputation as the second coming of Cattle Decapitation when they released Monolith of Inhumanity.

 

Hath should be way, way higher on the list and LIK should be taken off. I like LIK's riffs but I ain't down with promoting the dude behind it - he is, sadly, extremely racist.

 

ANIMALS AS LEADERS Guitarist Tosin Abasi To Sell 100 Guitars & Tons Of Gear

 

this is like a who's who of albums I listened to in high school. I remember trying to learn songs on guitar from Shadows are Security, Miasma, and Ascendancy.

And damn I didn't realize From Mars to Sirius was 15 years ago!

 

Not a bad list to be honest. I'm pleasantly surprised at the fact they included a lot of more underground bands on the list that haven't gotten a lot of mainstream press. Undergang being as high as they are is a pleasant surprise. Gatecreeper being #1 is lol-worthy, but I am not going to knock them for including a gateway band at the top of this list. If it gets more people into bands like Undergang and Scorched, go for it.

Ain't it great that these lists are subjective then? I'd personally put Creeping Death right around where they were listed. They're doing good stuff and doing it well, but they aren't reinventing the wheel. A fair majority of this list isn't.

My formative metal years are slapping me in the face right now. I can't believe all of these albums are 15 years old.
