I still haven't listened to Psonic Psunspot yet, but I've heard it's a little weaker than the EP.

Happy days.

Ah, that album is badass. I was a little underwhelmed by their second one though.

Yeah, I feel their first was better but both are pretty decent. Scream of the Butterfly is haunting as hell.

Or even better!

Not as good as Let It Be but fantastic nonetheless, I think it's catchier than Let It Be too.

Pia Fraus - Nature Heart Software

A while back, I was raving about this band's album After Summer so a few weeks ago I checked this album out as well. I didn't think it was nearly as memorable as After Summer and quickly forgot about it. Last night I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad I did. It's a real grower. It doesn't have the immediate catchiness of After Summer, but it is just as intricate in the layers of guitars that they use. It's definitely more chilled out.

I find the production ages it in a big way, but Little Mascara and Swinging Party are brilliant.

My favorite album right now. Awesome, refreshing dose of Thrash

LoathsomePete · 09-28-2010, 11:11 AM

That looks like it should be the book cover for Shadowrun or something, not really what I'd expect for a Thrash metal band.

Exactly. Then you hear it and it blows your ****ing mind.

Decibel called it a "Razor Sharp Sci-Fi Thrash Attack"

It's a concept album, by the way. and the concept kicks ass.

SUNN O))) - WHITE1 (2003)

Back in Sunn O))) mode this week and importing their albums into my iTunes. Cracking, relaxing drone-doom. And guest vocals from Julian Cope doesnt hurt.

FAITH NO MORE - KING FOR A DAY...FOOL FOR A LIFETIME (1995)

Back in FNM mode too and loving this album today. The Real Thing was always my favourite but I can see myself starting to listen to this one more and more when I need my FNM fix. Agressive metal fused with some mellower, jazzy moments.

NAPALM DEATH - THE CODE IS RED, LONG LIVE THE CODE (2005)

Not everyone likes Napalm Deaths post-grind output but this is fantastic death metal, in my opinion. Really energetic stuff and some fantastic riffs.

THE SWORD - WARP RIDERS (2010)

This isnt what I had expected from The Sword but I have been loving this over the last few weeks or so. Their stoner roots are still there, you can still hear them. However this is also a little more hard-rock than I had expected. It works though, such a good album.
