A 1-man death metal project from Bloomington, Illinois, and I feel this guy has a real talent based on what he has created. It's funny, I was just in his neighborhood a couple of months ago too. It's hard to believe that the inspiration for his death metal comes from all of the farmland and small country towns.

This is a killer album from an excellent long-running Bay Area band. At least one of these guys has been involved since 1985, and this is a very good comeback album of sorts. I mean it's a re-recorded version of their 2010 album of the same name, but the album represented their first new output since 2001 and, before that, 1993 \m/\m/

I hadn't heard of this band prior to finding this disc back in June. Well, it caught my interest quickly and got me to search for their 2024 album too, and lo and behold, I like them both. I see they share the bass player from Ninth Realm, who recently released a good album of their own. She's keeping busy. Check this out!

I wasn't familiar with this Midwest band until I came across this album several months back, but it seems they released a demo in 1993, and then, with 3/5 of the original lineup intact, they released this full-length in 2018. This album is 7 years old but still new to me, and I like it. It seems they are still active, so hopefully we will get something new in the near future.

New Crimson Glory after 27 years. What will it be like? I am not saying this is great, but for being their first album in more than 20 years and the fact that 3 of the original members are still active, I think it is worthy of a few spins. The first half of the album is the better material, and some of it sounds like it could have been left on the cutting room floor during the Transcendence sessions, but I still kinda dig it. Definitely better than Strange and Beautiful in my opinion.

When I saw this release back in June, I immediately wanted to pick it up because I knew it was, at least in some ratio, the same band from 1985 that released Maximum Destruction, an album which I hadn't ever heard until about 6 years ago. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect because while I do like Maximum Destruction- not love, but like- the only other album I've heard was Decibel Causalties, and it's so so in my opinion. Well, I am here to say that I do like this album; at least the old 80s metalhead in me does for sure. I admittedly haven't taken the time to explore many of their other releases, but I may after listening to this one a few times.

So, some of you may have heard me blabber on repeatedly about how I was a teenage metalhead of the early 80s. About how I spent hours in my local record stores searching through the imports, miscellaneous A-Z, metal sections, and used bins for albums and cassettes. Well, I never saw this album in my local stores back then, and so, when I did see this album 6 years ago at the late great site, DTS-Metal.com (RIP), I grabbed it immediately. The album cover immediately reminded me of Tyrant and their Legions of the Dead album from earlier that same year. In my opinion, this album isn't as good as LotD, but interestingly, it is rated much higher on Metal-Archives at 90% versus 68% for Tyrant. The lyrics and vocal delivery don't work nearly as well here, but it certainly delivers a raw, youthful exuberance that makes it appealing if you are a fan of the 80s style.
