Metal Reviews

Good on you

hadn't ordered anything in a while (notincluding new Exodus or Anni) so I decided to finish up a collection. 2 of those 4 Artillery albums I haven't even heard yet, so I thought why the hell not?

Made an order for myself of:

Iron Maiden -- Somewhere In Time
Morbid Angel -- Blessed Are The Sick
Emperor -- Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk
Napalm Death -- Order Of The Leech

Just ordered off eBay the 2007 Japanese remasters of:

DIO - Last In Line
DIO - Sacred Heart
DIO - Dream Evil

Pretty awesome order. The opening to Continuing War On Stupidity went off in my head like a bomb the moment I saw that:

There's only one war
to end all war
IT'S THE LOATHING
BEHIND THE EYES!

Make sure you read the lyrics to OOTL, Barney's a very underrated
writer.

I'm no leftist, but ND does have some pretty awesome lyrics.

Ordered:

ABSU - Absu
ORDEN OGAN - Easton Hope
HEATHEN - The Evolution of Chaos
SAVAGE CIRCUS - Of Doom And Death (digi)
ORPHANED LAND - The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR
SAMAEL - Ceremony of Opposites / Rebellion
WEEDEATER - God Luck And Good Speed (digi)
DERDIAN - New Era Pt. 3: The Apocalypse (digi)
SAVATAGE - Hall Of The Mountain King (re-issue w/2 bonus)
WATAIN - Casus Luciferi (digi)
NACHTMYSTIUM - Addicts - Black Meddle Pt. II
MOB RULES - Radical Peace
ARKONA (RUS) - Ot Serdtsa K Nebu

Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell (bought time I owned this)
Katatonia - Night Is the New Day
Jon Oliva's Pain - Festival

Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy

Limbonic Art-In abhorrence dementia
Limbonic Art-Moon in the Scorpio
Monstrosity-Millennium
Monstrosity-In dark purity
Primordial-To the nameless dead

Very well done. I've had both albums for about 7 years now and both constantly are spun. Did you know LA has a new one coming out in a couple months? But without Morfeus I'm not particularly hopeful.

We actually agree on something. Limbonic Art is some intense black metal.

Anything is possible.

Deep Purple - Machine Head
Opeth - Deliverance
The Tea Party - Seven Circles

Not bad per say but weak compared to any of their previous material
and thats coming from a huge Tea Party fan.

I only own Tangents which I love and so I wanted an actual album to hear, this was the only one available where I went today. I really wanna get The Edges of Twilight and Splendor Solis as I hear they are the best and I do like the few songs I've heard from them.

Its kinda weird how much I'm liking this band recently as growing up listening to their singles on MuchMusic really didn't do anything for me.

So far I'm liking Seven Circles, but I don't really have anything to compare it to other than a best of.. Writing's on The Wall, Stargazers, The Watcher and Oceans all seem to be my favorites based on my first listen.

Splendor Solis - Bluesy Rock mixed with some middle eastern sounds.

Edges of Twilight - Rock mixed with lots of middle eastern influences.

Transmission - Rock mixed with industrial and middle eastern influences

TripTych - Mosly rock with llight middle estern influences. This is their most mainstream releasebut very good IMO.

InterZone Mantras - is a mixture of Edges of Twilight and TripTych


Personally they are all great records with many great tunes, butout of all these albums, I find myself going back to Transmission, TripTych and Edges of Twilight the most.
