I just bought Bloodthorn's Genocide album on eBay.

 

[Pauly]

Birthday Bump!

The Bezerker - Animosity

This is good, it's a big improvement over the (watered down) World of Lies, although the guitar work still isn't as crazy as Dissimulate. Brutal and intense though, which is what I expect from them. Some new vocal styles from Luke as well, who does all of them on this album. Me like.

Got John 5's new one, Thorns and Cannibal Corpse - Vile to get through so be back later!

Okay, John 5 - The Devil Knows My Name

Also good, pretty much the same as his last two efforts but that's no bad thing, catchy instrumental guitar with a variety of influences. Guest spots from Satch, Jim from Slipknot/Stone Sour and Eric Johnson. Good stuff!

Thorns - self titled.

This is an album from a band that should state "it took me 10 years to release this album but my early demos are considered highly influencial on the black metal scene of the 90's so pay attention". Yes. Anyway, this is a black metal album, but with a lot of cyber/industrial/spacey/ambient stuff going on, me like. Hellhammer on drums, Satyr and Aldrahn (old DHG vocalist) singing and Snore (Thorns mastermind) doing everything else. I like BM with a bit of a twist, like Aborym, so this is right up my street. Well produced (by BM standards), disgusting guitar tone, and rather good. I never buy bad albums, or I'm just easily pleased.

Vile - Cannibal Corpse

This one doesn't need a long review, it owns. That's right it owwwwwwwwwwwnzzzzz!!!! (to quote FPS Doug). Just adding to the CC collection, this is the 25th anniversary of Metal Blade edition, so you get a Live DVD with it, which I haven't watched and am hoping isn't Monolith of Death because I already have it!

Recently:

Meshuggah - Chaosphere
Rush - Snakes & Arrows
Ozzy - Black Rain
Hellyeah - Hellyeah
Static-X - Cannibal
Point 1 - Unlucky Stars

All excellent releases, assuming you like the style of each particular band. The new Rush and Ozzy CD's are their most vital in years; Static-X continues to mature and evolve while still being, well, a band around Wayne Static ; and Hellyeah was just fun, like it seems to have been meant to be!

Point 1 was the opening band for Sevendust, Friday night... not bad. The CD seems like they're still working out what direction to go in, but the alt-rock style songs are pretty damn good... imagine Alter Bridge/Nickelback/Fuel, only without the cheese and syrup!

Coming up:

Diecast - Internal Revolution... saw them with Sevendust, and they kicked ass. Should have bought the CD at the show, sometimes I'm an idiot.

Unearth - Either In The Eyes Of Fire or The Oncoming Storm... saw the video for Sanctity of Brothers last night on HBB, awesome stuff.

Mastodon - Blood Mountain... 'nuff said.

added: Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory... cause seedawakener said so!

Division - Trinity (because, how could I NOT? )

 

[Mars Volta]

Steve Vai - Sound Theories

I really like this album, I thought I was going to be disapointed at first because I've already seen the Metropole concerts but you get a second CD with all original Vai compositions.
It's the best of the guitar and orchestra CDs I've heard as they all sound like proper compostions and not just shred over an orchestra backing track, infinitely better than the Yngwie one.
