Check out: Carnage Gathers • Grave Infestation #Symfonium
While I'm at it as I watch the snooker on BBC, this album is old style death metal inspired thrashy noise to set your Hell Awaits, early Death /Autopsy clock to. I didn't expect much. I got floored.
The Eye of Every Storm • Neurosis - I don't think I'd heard this for 15 years or so. I wasn't in the head space for it then obviously. Enjoying it more now. It doesn't top A Sun That
Never Sets for me. But in the same way Panopticon by Isis took over from Oceanic a while back this may do the same.
Are you on about the guy with the Kilkenny GAA shirt at the opening session?
Enemy of the Sun is probably my favourite Neurosis release. I didn't know them when they played locally touring that album in 94/95.
I've probably listened to A Sun that Never Sets the most. And the Locust Star ep. Some albums I've barely listened to.
A huge band in my music listening life
I started my Neurosis journey with a friend posting me Through Silver in Blood while I was away from home for a year. I returned to see Neurosis support Entombed in a European tour. I bought this and Enemy of the Sun on record from different people around 20ish years ago. Both incredible albums.
Sleep to Win is my favourite Iron Monkey song so far. Seeing Church of Misery at Roadburn flaming drunk after watching Saint Vitus end their set sober 90 minutes earlier was an achievement of some sort. Jagermeister has its moments. Great set. Never saw Iron Monkey unfortunately.
I am still listening to this on Fridays when I collect my dog from his weekly doggie day care visit. It has become a 2 album play list for the journey out and back. It rolls into playing The Bootlicker by The Melvin's if the trip takes longer than The Faithful Anchor runtime.
A rocket is flying to the moon for the first time in 50 years or so. I found out when a notification got pushed to my phone ten minutes before. Have a great trip everyone on that vessel.
Saw Dalek live and listened to albums almost 20 years ago. I didn't get it at the time. Really enjoying it now. Heavy beats. Repitition. What's not to like. Why didn't I get it back then? Tastes change.
A great movie. I watched it again recently and really enjoyed the way it was set up in the vein of a continuous shot.
Great UK doom. From 2012. All of their albums are great. I'm mixing these guys with Blood Ceremony albums of a similar vintage in my listening at the moment with large doses of recent albums from The Bug and Dalek also. An odd mix but its working for me
Top tier drone from 20 years ago

This is a great soundtrack. I heard Mica Levi in the Under the Skin soundtrack initially. Which is also deadly.. I've listened to and prefer this much more at this stage.
Some of the more recent Paradise Lost albums are great listens. Not ground breaking by any means but solid out.
I came across this bandcamp artist thanks to @thumped.com So many sweet mixes to listen to. tarotplane.bandcamp.com
A recent conversation at work about Radio Birdman reminded me of this comp CD by The Hives that came with a Kerrang magazine a lifetime ago. Found online and I enjoyed listening to it again last week while travelling to work.
Everywhere at the end of time is such a disorienting piece of music if you let it play around you for the six hour runtime. This is my first run through this one. So far so good. At forty five minutes long it surely won't get too weird.
Death doom from Costa Rica. Done really well. Production top notch. Songs top notch. Slowly they Doom
Another great death metal album. I prefer the first one but thats the way with a lot of the old death metal bands
I started listening to the early Mortiis stuff around 5 years ago when we all had a bit of time on our hands. Never ending intros for black metal songs were what I used to write it off as. As usual, I was wrong. This is in the ball park but its own thing just as well.
This is a great death metal album. I love Dismember, but have been listening to the same 3 albums forever. This wasn't one of those. I missed the bus on it back then
Now I'm sailing down an epic period Bathory sounding river. I haven't done the usual check if (insert BM band name here) are dodge yet.
This one went down a treat as a breakfast soundtrack this morning.
I was gone before it changed name myself. Probably very soon after the takeover. Which may be about the same time as yourself . I can't begin to imagine the car crash it is now.
I have spent most of my metal listening time with just Blood Fire Death and the Hammerheart in my Bathory diet. Time to change it up.. These Nordland albums are managing to combine epic with a side order of ropey pretty well. But it works an absolute treat walking around on winter nights.
I love listening to this Coffins album. Death metal done just how I like it.
I read a lot of war books down the years. This one shows how Germany lost the war from the point of view of their economy. Which is a gret point of view when you've read so much military discourse on the subject.
