Motörhead for sure. They had some GREAT albums as a four piece too, like my profile picture. Runner up probably would be Manilla Road or Immortal. Triumph is pretty high up there for me too, quite underrated!

Lemmy would get cranky when someone called Motörhead metal. :)

It's mostly funny because most of the money he made in his life came from the 4 songs he wrote for Ozzy, which were definitely metal.

Indeed.

Gonna blast Marduk and Inquisition on my way to work.



Meanwhile, in Romania this spicy festival was announced, check out that lineup.

No one knows who is organizing it, and the Romanian tankies are all malding about it. I'd go just to check out Goatmoon, but the other bands aren't probably half bad either.

I ran into something interesting. Centinex were an early DM band from Sweden who are notable for being "underrated" and not much else, but another thing people know about them is that their first album was recorded at Sunlight Studio, notable for the buzzsaw guitar sound (I think it was described by a Nihilist member as a "fat" guitar sound but that makes no sense to me) and bassless production of Entombed that went on to dominate the Swedish sound and influence some melodeath like At the Gates.

I ran into a remaster of this album and it appears that they have... completely undone the Sunlight sound from it. It's not a re-recording, although it sounds like one. As somebody who dislikes the Sunlight sound, this is kind of fascinating that the way recordings from that era sound is not a byproduct of the recording process, but purely final mixing and can be potentially undone if you have the original tapes(?) Which opens up even more questions about how so many fucked up sounding albums were even able to be released, like, was the guy at the booth so strung out that he didn't notice that the vocals or drums were inaudible and required a slider being moved one inch?


Not really saying that the new production is great (it sounds very digital) but it's interesting that it's even possible to do this.

Does make me appreciate the original in some ways, like the chugging thrash riff at 0:25 which sounds kinda lethal on the original but is just a murky bridge on the new one. But then, 2:09 sounds really good one the remaster.

I've seen bands like Incantation and Devourment re-release an album with "fixed" production, but never this far from the original release and with such a different result.

Yea Emperor Magus Caligula is now chilling somewhere in the Swedish countryside, probably milking cows or something.


One of my favorite tracks from this album. The whole album is really good.

Also, their former drummer Dominator, another big loss! he was really good.


Lefty drummers are pretty rare.

I remember Bobby Liebling getting pissy over Pentagram being categorized as doom metal and being all “we make rock n roll, maaaaan!” Okay, boomer, while you were smoking crack in your mom’s basement for 20 years, music moved on.

First banger of 2026 for me. It’s Krallice shit, you already know if you’re gonna like it or not.
