Obituary - Slowly We Rot (album)

Immolation - Kingdom of Conspiracy

Saw that too.  It has taken me a few attempts to get friendly with this one in all honesty.  I find some of the riffing to be a bit half-arsed on some tracks, but post Unholy Cult output it is one their stronger releases.  Never gonna be another Close to a World Below mind you (which is my favourite of theirs) but sets a good tone for the next record.

Alfa Mist seems a little out of his depth compared to everyone else's chops in the video they did, but I love the vibe. Yussef is awesome. Watched that one a ton with my son a while back.

Fuck cassettes.

Fuck cassettes.

One of my favorites from them. I saw a post from them on the socials that they are tracking a new album, Hopefully we will see it this year or early next.
Today, I'm feeling a little chill
NP: Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch
Miles Davis - Live Evil
Yussef Dayes - Love is the Message (Live at Abbey Road)

Immolation - Atonement

Absolutely as good as you could imagine. Unfortunately, the only tour shirt I bought out of the 5 times I saw them was for the Snakes & Arrows tour in 2008. I will probably go back and fill in the gaps in the future, but Presto was a special show being my first.

Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin Kynsi

Daughters/You Won't Get What You Want
Immortal/Northern Chaos Gods
Cirith Ungol/Forever Black
 

Hades - The Dawn of the Dying Sun, Norway 1996
 
Dawn - Sorgh På Svarte Vingar Fløgh, Sweden 1996
 

SYL FTW

New Clandestine Blaze - Secrets of Laceration
 

Regular Maker's wouldn't make the top 10, but that doesn't make it bad by any means.. Four Roses closer to 4 or 5 depending on the specific version. The single barrel is phenomenal for the usual price. Number 1 at the moment is Eagle Rare, but it is hard to find lately. Redemption High Rye is a very close second. 3 would be Knob Creek Single Barrel Select.
Rest of the top 10 from my current stock in no particular order:
Maker's Mark cask strength
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Woodinville
Elijah Craig Single Barrel
Basil Hayden
Jim Beam Black - essential for my favorite whiskey ginger and the wife's Old Fashions.
What makes each one special? Dunno. Just like the best cheeseburger, you just know one is better than the others. And it depends a lot on what else you have been exposed to. I like each one for different reasons. Taste, mood, finish, ability to obtain, and how I plan to drink them all play a part. There are certainly better bourbons out there (Stagg Jr, Pappy Van Winkle, etc), but price and availability make them less desirable for me.
Regular Wild Turkey is ok, but I prefer others for an everyday drink. I've never had any of their special releases.
Everyday - mixed drinks it's Beam Black. Neat it's Redemption at the moment.

Mmm, Ihsahn is a good pick, if I had just composed "In the nightside eclipse" I would've considered I'd peaked.

Rob Vigna from Immolation comes to mind as does Luc Lemay from Gorguts.
Steffen Kummerer from Obscura/Thulcandra
Ihsahn
Dagon always blows my mind with what he is able to create. Same could be said for the dude from Bolzer.

Dokken - Greatest Hits

Moar death metal....
Disrupted - Morbid Death, Sweden
 
Ghastly - Mercurial Passages. Finland
 
Ghastly - Death Velour, Finland 
 
 
 
 

Primus - Tales From The Punchbowl (album)

My time up there in the main has been in the major cities in all honesty.  I have stayed in Edinburgh probably 4 or 5 times a year over the last decade in the run up to COVID, usually in The Witchery being a flash bastard.
That having been said should you ever find yourself in Edinburgh the westside is usually my haunt when working and the Water of Leith walkway usually is a pleasant amble first thing in a morning that I stumbled across by accident one morning going to a meeting.  There are occasional standing stones built on the really shallow banks of the river which were kinda neat to see.
We had plans for honeymoon (currently on our third planned date thanks to the pandemic) to get up to the Highlands in a remote cabin but had to cancel in the end.  Was looking to do a few nights there then get to an airport to fly out to Bergen to do the Bergen to Oslo railway and try and stay out in the remote hotels along the way before flying back from Oslo after a week to then get back to Scotland and do the Glencoe route again but try and stay somewhere this time.

This is a website for smelting questions right?
 
I am an old metalhead and guitar player who has been in tons of bands and recorded a lot of music, but in the end I really just want to hear good new stuff, and with covid and being hurt myself and at home I am disconnected completely from rehearsals, shows, and all the outlets I used to have to get turned on to new music, and new musicians. I also produce and write and make music at home now, as it is insanely easy with DAW's compared to cutting physical tape in a studio for 14 hours a day.
 
So just looking to get connected with people making, listening to, and loving music.
