I'm also looking forward to this, but you'll understand if much of my attention is being taken up to Thor #1, which is being released tomorrow and is the issue where the new female Thor is revealed. Sorries.

No problem man. Sure it's a whole month. Thor can't take up a whole month on you, can it? CAN it???

I'd like to see your opinion on Tool. Lateralus, for instance.

Yeah, I dunno. I'm drowning in albums and reviews yet to be written, so thanks for throwing the lifebuoy (no it's NOT pronounced "booey! It's "boy!") and hitting me right on the head!

Anyway, on we go...

The Hunter and Mastodon's more recent album are a lot more restrained, and the singer changes his vocal style quite a bit. They're probably not up your alley still though.

About Sepultura

I'm surprised you didn't hate it. And it's definitely different to their early material. I suppose the closest thing you might be familiar with is Death. They were definitely an eighties death metal/thrash metal band. With that album they took on some Pantera influences, but I think it's overlooked how much, at the time, modern hardcore was there too. It's really not a million miles away from a band like Madball, or even Hatebreed.

Oh Trollheart. Whether you enjoy it or not, surely you can hear that Gridlink songs are indeed tightly written and precisely played compositions consisting of riffs and beats which are only "just noise" to same extent to which all music is just organized noise.

At any rate, it's certainly interesting to read your take on my favorite metal albums and I appreciate you taking the time to listen to each of them. Also, I was happy to see that you enjoyed Lykathea Aflame's "On the Way Home" at least a tiny bit. That's probably my favorite song on that album.

It was actually the High on Fire album that I described as thrashy, not the Electric Wizard one so not surprising you didn't hear any thrash in Witchcult Today. Glad you enjoyed both though.

You can't wimp out on the Psychofagist album though man! Come on, you can do it!
