Metal Reviews

Just ordered the new Sodom, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Warbeast, and Amon Amarth albums. Because I'm so original.

Just blindly bought the newest from Kylesa. Is it any good? I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet

Only heard it once, not bad; a decent follow-up to their previous album but not actually better, I'd say so far...

You picked up latest KE too. How was it?

It's pretty good. Grittier and a little harsher vocally( due to the change in vocalists: Jesse Leech returns) than the previous release.
Although not an award winning album of any sort, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a solid entertaining album.

Ah bliss!

Bought Opeth's Deliverance on vinyl today, one of those 180 gram fat ones. Haven't really listened to Opeth before but I am enjoying the fuck out of this one.

I've got three iTunes giftcards totalling $90 of credit but can't read the bloody code, so whilst I'm stuck waiting for my brother to help out in that respect I snared:

Absu - Abzu
Nile - Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephen-Ka
Cathedral - Forest Of Equilibrium

Deceased - Supernatural Addiction
Deicide - Deicide
Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream
Gorefest - False / Erase
Gorguts - The Erosion Of Sanity
Hellwitch - Syzgial Miscreancy
Incantation - Onward To Golgotha
Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness

I don't know if you deserve a salute or a slap for only just getting Altars of Madness.

I'd say it's more Gorefest and Dismember's classic that deserve a salute and definitely not a slap.

I could't delete the dual post...strange.
