Impaled- "The Dead Still Dead Remain"

Music for the drive to the therapist. Makes me feel even crazier than I am! Haha

What a scenario. Why don't you try Mozart or something and see how that affects you? I love classical music.

Yes, Mozart is great. I generally only listen to Metal in the car. I figure it's appropriate cause everyone in my town is old and conservative so it's cool to fuck with them by playing crazy music. 90% of the time Mayhem is playing in ny car.

 

Not sure how much of that made sense, I'm baked like a potato.

It all made sense pretty well.

What makes less sense is the actual popularity of the baked potato. It’s really not that great a food. In fact I prefer potato mashed, roasted and in potato salad before I’d go for baked.

Mashed is the superior form of potato, I agree. Baked takes second for me though. To each their own potato, I suppose.

I’ll just chip in here and wedge my way into the conversation. I don’t think KFC in Australia even have wedges. I don’t want to get salty, but my temper’s getting fried about this potato wedge famine here. Management should find themselves in hot oil over this.

PUNS UPON PUNS UPON PUNS. also that is a travesty that they don't have them in 'stralia. Does anyone actually call Australia "'stralia" in Australia?

The average man on the street usually slurs it, "straya", or if they're trying their hardest, "Astraya". As a nation we struggle with pronouncing the L in our country's name. Naturally @True Belief and I don't fraternise with the working classes and always use the Queen's English correctly. 

There are a lot of mental vegetables in this country. Brains like potatoes.

Hey everybody. So what do you guys like in your baked potato?

Butter and/or sour cream, possibly some chives or green onion, maybe a little bit of crumbled bacon and cheddar. Oh and salt, that sounds like a no-brainer but do not forget that fucking salt.

 

I'd just like to say how happy I am that this thread is coming together so well.

Not only salt but also pepper. My personal favorite is just sour cream and chives. Some times i also like to mix in some bacon and/or cheese though. Once in a blue moon I'll have one with cheese butter, which is oh so naughty but also so right.

 

Yeah man I love this thread. I assume it was your work, getting it started?

It is essentially butter and cheese mixed into one amazing melted solution on a baked potato. 10/10 would cheese butter again

That sounds both really good and horribly unhealthy at the same time.  I will have to try it sometime.

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
