Glad these reviews have survived and the format is topnotch
Cheers, Sten. You having Stefan Wille's email is pretty much what made this possible.

Great stuff. I sporadically looked at metalpage when doing research on potential purchases. Good to see them here

Some excellent writing there. Definitely makes me crave some Loosely Tight. Cheers!

Apart from some Italian updates of mine already mentioned in the Italian thread, Alan/nightsblood has once again granted us with some great writing on White Noise and Slayer 8)

I love the White Noise lp, regardless of how "Different" it is. Much more so than Alan obviously :)

Great writing as always Alan. Incisive, informative & very humorous. Bravo sir.
Re your conviction that "any time you see the word boogie in the title of a song that’s supposed to be heavy, you are asking for disappointment", i'd largely agree with you but there are always a few exceptions to the 'rule'...

7 new album reviews added, 4 more from Alan/nightsblood and 3 from me (I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for all the bullshit in the Demon Eyes review - once I got started it was hard to stop).
HAZ-upload in progress as I'm writing this. Some music while you wait:

AURORA and ARYON by Alan!

The latter just reuploaded in Poisonoise, and AURORA sounds like this:

Bravo. Very much enjoyed both reviews Alan, particularly your amusing musings on Aryon's possible motivations/justifications for that cover photo.
In order not to be too disturbed by it i try to tell myself that they're all queued up outside the window trying to muster up the courage to ask the little girl for a go on the bad-ass old school flying V that's lying on the couch.
So much of the one time shock value of 80's Metal has been greatly degraded by the passing of the years, but that cover just gets more & more wrong-headed & downright creepy with the passage of time.
A question for those who own a copy, is that a black cat in the plastic basket type thing to the left of the girl's feet?
I know there are far more important questions to be asked about that sleeve, but that's something i've always wondered about for some reason & even the hi-res scan that accompanies the review doesn't answer my query.
