Time for some grade A quality hockey, beer, and Tankard

WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO GHOST INSTEAD, FAIRYWINKLE?

Don't Fear the Reaper was pretty boring/disappointing/lame.

But other than that, they do not. Witchkrieg renewed my faith at the time

I was earlier today, actually. Also, Ghost aren't a band that mix well with hockey and beer. When I'm drinking beer and watching hockey, Bagel wants him some thrash.

Sure glad I own all the Running Wild releases on cd since most of them are out of print now and only available as digital downloads. Such bullshit!

True....I kinda forgot about that one when I posted this (with good reason). There's a couple decent tunes, but overall, that is the one album of theirs I don't particularly love.

Why is it that I cannot find a single metal band by the name of Dump Truck? There needs to be a metal band called Dump Truck.

I wish I had Death or Glory. That album fucking kills.

Tankard album's over. Time for some Abigail. Those are my two go to bands ATM.

SATANIK METAL FUCKING HEELLLGH.

There's a band from down east called Bucket Truck. I vaguely remember liking one song.

Not metal at all....

The next time Neil Diamond rolls into LA....fuck it!! I'm getting tickets!!

Apparently Nominon released a new album last year. Completely missed that.

Listening to Nile at work is awsome.

Just saw some band labeled as "blackened deathcore." WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?!

There's a thread title in the metaljerk subreddit that makes me laugh every time I read it:

Sabaton is playing tonight in Santa Ana and I called the club to see what time the first band goes on and what the line up is because I can't find it anywhere online.

Even the club operator doesn't even know.

Man, Ready for Boarding is such an excellent live album...haven't spun it in a while, need to do so tonight.

Totally!

I don't think Cult of Luna was meant to be listened to on a boombox. I feel like I'm only listening to like 83% of it because the small speakers just don't support the low end very well. It sounds ok, just kind of punch-less.

Listening to "The Mob Rules" (nuff said)

Picked up some really cool CD/DVD packages lately....

UDO - Live in Sophia
Helstar - 30 Years of Metal
Hammerfall - Gates of Dalhalla
Sacred Reich - Live at Wacken

Really diggin' all of these.

I have only bought three 2013 releases so far but this album is definitely going to be tough to beat as most over-hyped of the year...



Wow, so many places praising this album...even comparing it to Dimension Hatross

I mean srsly, this album is not very good. It pretty much sucks like the last few 'Jasonic' records. I really don't like this era of the band. It's barely even metal and just not very good.

I want to like this like everyone else but I just can't. I can't really say it is disappointing since the last few records were not good either but the gushing over this album had me a little excited that maybe the band finally delivered the goods again....apparently they did not.

The other two 2013 releases I have purchased so far have been Helloween and Circle II Circle. Both albums are ok but neither has blown me away. I love both bands but these latest releases are definitely a slight step down in quality. Still decent albums.

So, so far 2013 has not started off with a bang. Still waiting for that first great metal album...yeah, yeah, I do know its only 6 weeks into the new year.

I fucking love Enslaved.

Srsly.
