Got my first two 2020 album listens in tonight:




Musically, this is amazing. Heavy and melodic in parts. Great guitar work. But it really pushes my limit on the harsh vocals. It's hard to quantify what passes vocalwise, but this is at the edge of what I'll tolerate. Still, this is an awesome album.
@Kade, you might like this.





For the first half, this is a gorgeous guitar driven instrumental album. Then in the second half, there are three guest vocal tracks. One is OK, but the vocals on the other two blow. It does end on a whimper too. But the first half of this album is really fantastic.

I didn't realize Blackguard had a new album out. I listened to Profugus Mortis and Firelight quite a bit back in the day. I'll have to check this new one out.

Alright, there's no way I'll keep up with you guys with the listening but I'll start a list and put these on there.

Just had a listen to the Pat Reilly album and you summed it up perfectly Tim. Should have just left the vocals off. Enjoyed the first half though.

[Zydar]

Threshold - Clone

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Some awesome Thrashy Death Metal. Nils Fjellström is a beast on the drums.

[jjrock88]

AC/DC- High Voltage

Primal Fear- Metal is Forever

[Big Hath]

[ChuckSteak]

[Sacul]

Just realized I haven't listened to this one in full in some years, despite being an old favorite of mine. Still a fucking banger

[Buddyhunter1]

I'm enjoying the NIN one a lot better, though they're kinda apples and oranges

[TAC]

After running through Turbo and Ram It Down, my ears needed some actual metal.

It's a great album!

Meh, I'll stick with Turbo and Ram it Down over Fight any day

Had to go back and listen to this again based on the discussion in the 2000-2009 thread.

[romdrums]

Solid atmospheric sludge metal from the UK.  I've known the name for a while, and finally got around to taking a real listen. 

[jjrock88]

Judas Priest- British Steel

Saxon- s/t

[wolfking]

Love that Last Tribe Jon.

I really like that Fight album too.  The 1-2 opener of Pit and Gun is awesome.

[NoseofNicko]

Underrated.

[Puppies_On_Acid]

[Bentower]

I've seen that before, back when I was unaware that it's a dead ringer of the album cover of Popol Vuh's In den Gärten Pharaos. What is it, again?

[ChuckSteak]

^ Phideaux - Infernal

[Lowdz]

A couple of albums fans of the bands don't like and I love.





And Canuck day 😀

[EPICVIEW]

VH II

[jjrock88]

Accept- Balls to the Wall

Kiss- Music from the Elder

[Big Hath]

[Bentower]

Into Glory Ride! I just spun Hail to England the other day. "Silly" as they are, you can't beat those early Manowar albums, not even with a faux-spike gauntlet. 

NP: Amon Düül II - Tanz der Lemminge

@Sacul: give Dirty a listen. That and Goo are my go-to Sonic Youth albums.
