In the last few months
these are the most played albums from my private collection. When it comes to
me, usually it means played over and over again for days… If you already know
them, play them again and give them some new place in your life. Those you still
don’t know, check them maybe you find something you’re going to like.
Fields Of The
Nephilim ‘Earth Inferno’ 1990 - DLP vinyl
An amazing live expression of their superior sound. I like
many albums of the band but this live one is something so strong and so unique
that simply stand above all of their studio recordings. Earth Inferno is a
perfect example that studio can’t offer us complete atmosphere of a great band
as Fields of the Nephilim are. Studio cut some very important moments and
somehow compress them. This live recording can totally take you back in 1990
and feel you surrounded by hundreds of Fields’ worshipers. Strongly suggested!
Broken Hope ‘The
Bowels Of Repugnance’ 1993 - LP vinyl
I really don’t understand why the hell they waited for so
long ( almost 20 fucking years!) to release this killer recording on vinyl
format? Nothing but brutally great Death Metal art. Yes, I must call it art of
the genre as they found out a perfect balances between brutal, technical,
oldschool and even grind sounds. Everything is where it should be and everything
works as well constructed machine. One of these great milestones of Death Metal
and definitely something that 95% of the bands after them tried to
reach…without success unfortunately…What was their secret formula for creating
such a unique and wicked creation maybe we will never reveal, but the album is
here to full-fill our needs…
Agent Side Grinder
‘Hardware’ 2012 - mp3
New band in my “collection”. Saw them live in Wroclaw last month and
really got more than pleasantly surprised by what they had to offer there.
Strange mixture of old Joy Division legacy, Industrial sound of 80’s and some
very modern Dark wave touches. Band spread some nasty dark energy on the stage
and goes straight in the head with their powerful expression. The main force
there definitely is vocalist and his superior ruling of the entire stage and
show in general. It was very interesting to see him together with the others in
the band as it was complete concert of course, but in the same time it was like
watching him in his own performance as well totally separated from the band.
Really, amazing band and a huge refreshment in extreme sounds. Hardware is
their latest studio full-length and sounds almost as good as their live
ceremony. Album is still just on mp3 here but will try to change it’s status
asap, on vinyl of course…
Jex Thoth ‘Blood Moon
Rise’ 2013 - mp3
Ok, band is among these nowadays very popular retro dirty
occult Rock likes mixed with some Stoner and even Doom. Some could say it’s
nothing new but what impressed me the most is a perfect combination of the main
vocal lines (female ones in this case) and the rest of the instruments, ideas
and arrangements. Really, thy knew what they wanted to create. So easy to
listed album full of very touchy parts. I strongly recommend this one and if
someone got it on vinyl and maybe don’t share my opinion and want to get ride
of it, I’m interested to buy one :)
Carcass ‘Symphonies
Of Sickness’ 1989 - LP vinyl
Up to me, the best Carcass album ever. After these
symphonies they jumped to more melodic and polished sound. I don’t say these
late album are bad but, this one got all necessary rawness and brutality Death
Metal record should have. It’s truly enjoyable to have your own moment with this
piece of brutal art pressed on vinyl back in times…
Morbid Angel ‘Blessed
Are The Sick’ 1991 - LP vinyl
Very, very often played album in my collection. I don’t know
how about anyone else but that’s something what makes me proud on being part of
the Metal scene and follower of brutal sounds. ‘Blessed Are The Sick’ spread
real magic all around the place when ever I play it. It’s the same since my
very first try. It’s always the same and still it’s always brand new and
stronger than ever. Always speaks so many different stories and offer so many
new dimensions. One of THE albums! A real superior creation and as one of my
friends said lately, “this vinyl should be placed in some time capsule and launched to the space!” And I can just agree
with him.
King Diamond ‘Them’
1988 - LP vinyl
If I start to write about King and his works it could turn
to small novel definitely so…really, no need to say more but that I’m totally
fascinated by all of his spells but ‘Them’ is let’s say my favorite album among
the others. Still, it’s not completely correct as I adore all of them. But
‘Them’, man…gave me real hell once I played it for the first time and take me
deeper and deeper every next time we join…and trust me countless times we met!
Hobbs’ Angel Of Death ‘Hobbs’ Angel Of Death’ 1988 - LP vinyl
For many metalheads totally unknown album and I must say one
of the most under-rated albums ever. A perfect Thrash Metal fisting, so strong
and so direct that now 25 years after it’s recorded still spread the same fresh
bloody energy that 90% of Thrash albums simply don’t have. Try Hobbs and you will never regret!
David Lynch ‘Crazy
Clown Time’ 2011 - DLP vinyl
Mastermind of psycho movies and one of the greatest dark
artists globally. I was so amazed by this album starting from the very first
moment I heard it. It’s was real connection after just a few seconds of the
first song and knew immediately that I will have it on vinyl. What Lynch
offered us here is audio continuation of his video works. I still can’t believe
how fresh and young spirit he have and you can feel it in every moment of this
brilliant album. A must, really a must.
Cathedral ‘Forest of Equilibrium’ 1991 - LP
vinyl
Doom! No more words needed indeed…but just to add that I
still can’t get it after all these years how the hell crazy Lee and crew made
it? How the hell they’ve managed to create so obscure, so deep, so strong and
so daaaaaaark album…There is Doom Metal, there is Doom Metal scene but, there
is ‘Forest of Equilibrium’ , one and only…Really, I still not get it…Darkness
of all times…
Napalm Death ‘Scum’
1987 - LP vinyl
There was music, classical one and then Rock came, soon
after many different genres and then Punk and then those maniacs gave birth to
‘Scum’ and nothing was the same after that, never… ‘Scum’ is mostly
unexplainable happening of all times. That was something what music needed to
go totally different way and it happened definitely as after ‘Scum’ everything
was possible. Extreme music was never so raw and brutal before, but also unfortunately
not even after this one. What happened back in 1987 when these Punks created
the album I don’t know, but I’m very thanx-full for that!
And these are the most
played albums in the last couple of months here…Will update with the next list
after some time…Until then, give a try to these…one more time, or for the first
one. Doesn’t matter, just play it.
