You should go for a more shocking pink colour, imo. A stronger one. But the cut looks real nice.

Should be noted that they get more and more brutal the further back into their discography you dig, to where their debut is a grindcore album. Sloppy, downtuned and grinding as fuck. Got more melodic with a bigger focus on groove, melodies and leads as the years went on, and they are often called the Iron Maiden of death metal. Quiye fittingly too, if you ask me. Be sure you don't miss their Peel Sessions, too. Peel Session releases are always of great quality, and Bolt Throwet's may be the finest of them all.

Bolt Thrower are one of the best and most consistent death metal bands ever. I do recommend starting with their oldest shit first, though. But it's astill band you can't go wrong with. Most excellent!

September Death is a sweet name. Will check out when I get home.

What this word needs is a few bands to walk into the footsteps of Samhain. I want more albums similar to Initium, Unholy Passion and Samhain III: November-Coming-Fire. Three very different and unique albums. Nothing come close to these as far as deathrock goes. But I've read some good things about Son of Sam and how their early stuff sounds a bit like Samhain. They have some members and ex-members of Samhain and Danzig as well. I'd also love to hear more bands similar to Sixx. They took the evil, stripped down sounds of black metal cult Von and turned it into deathrock. Such a cool release.

So is anyone playing any fighting games on PC? Would love to have more people to play games with.

https://dmrbooks.bandcamp.com/track/hellwell-lightwave Lightwave from the upcoming Hellwell album https://www.mixcloud.com/Queensofsteel/queens-of-steel-radio-01032017/ It‘s Alive, also from the new Hellwell album, is streaming around the 42.25 minute mark. Mark "The Shark" Shelton calls this band "progressive epic horror doom metal", and that's not too far off actually. Imagine Manilla Road doing more progressive and doom influenced music, inspired by horror stories/films or something. I think both tracks are good, especially It's Alive. Mark Shelton hasn't sounded this good in years. His clean vocals are fantastic here.

I'm with you, Zeus. Nowadays I consider 4 hours of sleep a successful night, as the majority of my nights range between 0 and 3 hours sleep. But I'm back to being used to it and I'm very functional, unlike the first few months when I was like a zombie. Have delt with this shit several times during the past 10-15 years though, often a year+ at the time before I get back to a normal 5-6 hours sleep. Don't get why it is like this again.

Holy shit, that is a bad setlist.

The Burning is a total classic and cult as fuck. Brilliant film with amazig special effects.

Weird, I am of the complete opposite side with opinion on this album. I tried that album earlier this year, and despite of my love for Dance With the Dead, I thought this album was trash. Absolute garbage! Weak, shitty metal mixed with bland electronica. The metal riffs are the worst. That's the kind of shit I wrote as jokes when I was 13 years old, and I am not kidding. They're that bad. I couldn't even get through the album. I can totally understand why these song were unreleased up to this point, and they still should've been. They just started dragging their own name through the mud with this embarrassing release.

https://blackmagickss.bandcamp.com/ New Black Magic SS is up for listen at their bandcamp. Sounds excellent as usual. This will with no doubt be up as there as one of the very best releases of the year, just like all their previous releases did. One of the best active bands out there. A mix of psychedelic and occult rock, doom metal and black metal with a strong occult vibe. I just can't get enough of these guys. One of the best bands out there, as previously said.

Lunar Poetry is a fantastic demo, and essential black metal as far as I am concerned. Far from their best, but amazing nonetheless. But its sound is a lot more cheesy and sugar-coated in lack of a better word. I think they got a bit rawer, yet at the same time way more bombastic with Goat Horns, and they kinda got more of their own identity with that release. But like I said, you can't go wrong with any of their releases even though I find Мировоззрение/Weltanschauung and The Voice of Steel to be less good than everything before it. Still good releases, though, especially The Voice of Steel. But it's not really a black metal album and has way more folky sing-along cheese to it. It's clearly inspired by Moonsorrow, but you'll also hear progressive elements, especially from Pink Floyd and such. It's an album that'll get them a much bigger following because it's more catchy and easy-listening than their black metal stuff. But anyway, godly band!

I just watched the danish drama-thriller Kapringen (A Hijacking), a most thrilling and intense film, beautifully executed and superbly acted. Really intense film that comes off as very realistic and gritty, dark and tense. I highly recommend this! How come the danish and swedes are so much better than norway when it comes to film? Scripts, directors, actos. They're better at everything. Why the fuck is it like this?

That is shocking, because Nokturnal Mortum has released a bunch of classic and brilliant albums. I like their entire discography, but Twilightfall, Lunar Poetry, Return of the Vampire Lord, Goat Horns, To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire and Nechrist are releases that I believe should be a part of any black metal fan's collection, with To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire and Nechrist being my favourites. To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire are one of the top 10 symphonic black metal albums ever and Nechrist are one of the 10 best folk black metal releases ever (althought it could be called symphonic black metal as well). What really makes these stand out are how agressive and brutal they are compared to most other albums in a similar style.

Looking forward to the Fen record. Always loved the band, yet I've kinda forgotten a bit about them. Can't remember when I last gave one of their albums a spin. That sounds great.

Watched Curse of the Crimson Altar, late 60's horror based loosely on Lovecraft's The Dreams in the Witch House. This film isn't Lovecraftian at all, though, it's pretty standard mid-60's gothic horror with the usual ingredients. But holy cow, what an underrated film! It's one of Boris Karloff's last films, and it also stars Christopher Lee, and Michael Gough and Barbara Steele in some minor roles. Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee steals every scene they're in, and when they're on the screen together I am close to exploding. Can't handle that much awesomeness! Anyway, the plot is not all that and the direction is a bit messy, but its atmosphere is great and it's visually stunning and superbly acted. I just love the colors in films like this. So bright, so strong... it just looks like the color is about to pop out of the screen. Looks amazing! And this quote was exceptional: Girl: It's like a house from one of those old horror films. Man: It's like Boris Karloff is going to pop up at any moment. Awesome! Very underrated.

Been spinning both that Joel Grind - Memphis Devil Shit mix tape and 3 Memphis Kniccas' "Kill 'em Dead" a lot since yesterday. Loving both the mix tape and the 3MK tape. I just love that raw, dark, gritty sound of the majority of these artists. Gave Criminal Mafia - Tha Crucifixion and Manson Family - Heltah Skeltah a spin at work today, too, and they both seem really damn good too. Especially Criminal Mafia is exactly what I am looking for at the moment. That raw production is just top notch.

Why isn't it a horror film? The few I know who've seen it calls it a horror film, and they have the same knowledge of the genre as myself. And wherever I look on the internet it's referred to as a horror film.

I haven'tt seen it yet, but isn't Get Out a horror comedy? The few people I know who's seen it seems to agree on this, as they all called it a horror comedy when recommending it to me. Really looking forward to it. Looks neat.

Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust fame knows and collects more than just metal, and his memphis rap mix is dope as fuck. I need to check out most of these artists a bit closer, and that 3 Memphis Kniccas track's beyond most rap I've heard in a long time. Brilliant!

I'm a pretty hateful guy, but I hate everyone equally. Sexuality, skin colour, religion and whatnot doesn't matter. Everyone's ashjemmeside worthless as the next person no matter how they look or what they believe in.

I can get you a premium membership right away if you want, but it'll cost you. Give me a shout if you're interested and I'll PM you how I'd like the money transfer. But like I said, it'll cost you. Most people won't have the money to afford this, but if you have a lot of money and you really want this then I'm your man. Also, don't tell anyone about this. Gotta be our secret as only we two can view this post. ☺

I'm a bit surprised you recommend Urd (or anything post-Empiricism) over the far superior albums Borknagar and The Olden Domain as both are, as already said, superior to the rest of their discography and way more black metal. Could also throw in The Archaic Course, Quintessence and Empiricism, but neither are close to the quality of the two first albums. And The Olden Domain's by far the best. Such a masterpiece. Huge!
