Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera, 1991, I haven’t played this in ages, great album.

 

Yes brilliant, bought this when first came out having no idea what it would be like when I was 18, who would’ve guess that this band pretty much became one the biggest touring acts in the world and they still play songs from this to people who would have no idea who Savatage is.

Finally got my hands on this. 4 slabs of coloured vinyl goodness cut live direct to disk from the mothers of the foundation laying groove...

 

Sleep - Live At Third Man Records

 

Spinning at the appropriate volume!

 

 

[tubularbells]

And onto another new one. For many this band has already "jumped the shark" and after going to there last gig here in Melb's looking at the crowd there now drawing I was definitely a lone wolf however given the profound effect they had when I first heard of  them in the early 10's I give them a lot of rope and have genuinely enjoyed all there output from the early Magna Carta days through  to who they are now.

 

Ghost - Rite Here Rite Now (Original Motion  Picture Soundtrack)

They've always been unashamedly silly and I love that about them.

As a big fan of 60's-70's Hammer Horror films I agree, there campy silliness is always what attracted me to this band.

It’s coming……in Atmos.

Classic German thrash from the 80's. Still got my Destruction shirt from back then also (although these days it fits a bit on the tight side  )

 

Destruction - Eternal Devastation

Is the Atmos mix any good? does it actually make use of the space well?

 

I've heard some truly awful Atmos mixes that have less immersion than stereo that just seem to be bandwaggoning without actually putting in the effort to make it something special.

I can only hope, it’s not fully released yet only 2 songs and they sound good, I’m a massive fan of multichannel music and thankfully Apple atmos is improving dramatically.

Looking forward to seeing these guys in Melbourne

I get a bit of a shiver every time I see that cover as that (and subsequent albums) had such an impact on me during my teens. 

 

Probably goes a long way to explaining why im such a weirdo nowadays

No your not, every GTG or dinner, I see you at,  you drink, you eat, you laugh, we all have a great time....& you love your music, nothing weirdo about that to me.

Metal in record label only (Rise Above Records) unless you account for the occultist subject matter this ones a real curiosity as its authentic doo-wop recorded in mono with satanic lyrics, Real odd ball stuff yet somehow it works and when the mood is right as it is now an enjoyable listen.

 

Twin Temple - Satanic Doo-Wop

 

 

[GaryT]

I've seen that one around and thought that would be up your alley.

the altar!

The mask reminds me of when on the old footy show Sam Newman use to put a gorilla head on to take the P155 out of Jason Dunstall.

Inner Strength - Daydreaming in Moonlight, a new band for me, this is their sophomore album, 23 years after their first, good Progressive Metal, reminds of Queensryche in parts.

Try? Some head banging or just listening

In anticipation of this Saturday's night gig I've got this maxed out (seriously the Krell's got nothing left to give) and much to the rest of my families (dis)pleasure this EP brings me much delight and floods me with happy and now sadly distant memories. 

 

Planning to  catchup with the Boss there also  (aka @08Boss302) which will be good as its been a while.

 

Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids
