Suggested Listening

The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal



This one really surprised me. Really interesting yet catchy with over-the-top screechy vocals. Have you ever listened to an album for the first time, and it seems like it's been a favorite of yours for years, and you've already listened to it a meeeelion times? That familiarity? I was struck by the same feeling when I first listened to this. A really excellent metal record. 4.25 stars


High on Fire - Death is this Communion



Excellent. Though not better than their high-water mark, "Surrounded by Thieves" which in my mind is a classic. 4 stars
