There seems to be a fire hose of black metal albums being released constantly so it's nice to see a good bit of variety this week.
I appreciate you taking your time, I don't think anybody is qualified to review an album after one listen. And that sounds like an epic first metal show. No wonder you became such a metalhead!🤘

Hanging Garden out with new album! Isle Of Bliss, maybe best album so far!

Been listening to Into Oblivion since Friday, definitely their best since self-titled and maybe since Sacrament, although I could be blinded by the new 🤘

I've listened to every Lamb of God release. I do not get it at all. It's like metal for NEDs. Total Chip Shop Core. Much like Pantera.
Thanks for this weeks show pal. Messticator a great addition to the death deck!

Can I ask a very serious question? What is still full of melody mean? I never really understood how melody and extreme metal coexist? Thanks for the content!

Lamb of God and Monstrosity aside, that Messticator was also really really good!

Thanks as always, Lindsay. Even by metal standards, it sounds like quite a "dark" collection this week; looking forward to checking them out.

Loving the Mammon's Throne album – to my shame, they've never been on my radar even though they're local to me (Melbourne). There's a lot of Nick Cave in some of those vocals – I'd never have imagined Cave singing Death Doom, but maybe I should've 'cause it works!

Good to see a fellow Scot being involved in a podcast, to be honest I've only heard of Lamb of God.

Funny story, Lindz. When we (GoiterJelly) were on tour with Saint Diablo and Misguided in 2000, we played a show in Richmond. Someone told us thar LoG was there fro the show. Years later "Redneck" came out. I was really suprised how different it sounded than their previous work. Then it hit me. We may have been an inspiration…

Lamb of god and the Messticator album were both great, I also liked the albums from Against I, gluttony, Deadvoid Inc.,Morbid death, and Weilded Steel, good week for me.
