oh HOLY FUCKING SHIT. This is unbelievable stuff. Christ, why the hell is this not better known? And I'm an idiot for not checking this out sooner. Thanks a million (Zimbabwean dollars, ha) Dan! edit - whoops, didn't realize the first two tracks were the EP. Man that has got to be one of the best me...

Hey bfk, what happened to Time Traveler, is he doing any more posts? I recently DLed Pinnacle's "Cyborg Assassin" from the old bryonsplace blog, and holy crap, it absolutely rips. A lot of interesting looking stuff on that blog, actually.

btw, did you get around to listening to Dawnwatcher?

btw, what do people here think of the s/t Kruiz album? Just popped into my head for some reason. Haven't listened to it in a while, but I think it's an absolute, total classic.

Cloven Hoof - A Sultan's Ransom y'know, the material here is almost entirely excellent, but it's like... it should have been wearing everyday pants but instead it's got some horrible shiny stuff on... there's this "80's pop-metal" sheen it would have been much better without. I think the s...

Was just listening to this, noticed this link is dead, so I thought I'd re-up it. Apologies if unsolicited reuploads aren't welcome...

and yup, songs 2 and 3 are excellent.

Deathrow - Warriors of Doom

Fokk. This album is damn good. It's sort of like the "Show No Mercy" of German thrash. And the leads/solos are really neat and distinctive sounding all the way through.

Rigor Mortis s/t follows.

Warrior - Let Battle Commence

neat little album.

to bring in a possibly different perspective in here - how much would this bother you if the "issues" in question were not something that are a part of your social/historical context, things that either you or your society has not experienced directly? If instead of NS-ism, racism, white s...

Holy crap, Triarchy's "Save the Khan" ROCKS! Jeez.

Xandril!

totally small-fry compared to everyone else here, but I got these recently:

Hexx - Morbid Reality; Viogression - Expound and Exhort; Nokturnel - Nothing but Hatred; Mystifier - Goetia; Pandemonium - The Ancient Catatonia; Phlegethon - Fresco Lungs

... is there anything somewhat rare there?

I'll go with

Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Order from Chaos - An Ending in Fire
Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead

Carnivore'd be a good pick too...

Hah, I was just about to post about the Bloodstone cd - 480 bucks, jeez. It's not that good.

Dawnwatcher, possibly? They're not really that metal, but still. Good band.

The Beatles - Golden Slumbers

...ah okay fine.

Cynic - Pleading for Preservation (demo)

their demo stuff is really good.
