    I prefer it when you talk without the music playing.. I can't really hear the music if I'm honest .. my brain can't process both at once..

    Anyway I'm onto Discouraged.. sounds great

    I can recommend the new EP from Guttural Disgorge. These guys from Denmark are so young and so talented. I saw them live last year when they were the support for Neckbreakker. Please listen to Guttural Disgorge and Neckbreakker. Both bands are insane.

    Will be checking out Whispered and Harlott, love the album artwork of a few of those. I too am a huge Slayer fan, I'm into bands like Inhuman Rampage, Ninth Realm, Power Trip, and one you have to check out if you're a huge Slayer fan, Enforced – War Remains, have a t shirt of the album cover and am waiting for them to come on tour to the UK, love those guys. If Slayer did hardcore you'd get Enforced, very fast, very Slayer esque, would say even more so than Harlott, I hope you love them too!

    I really find the strengths of green lung lie in the melodies, catchy choruses, and even the guitar solos, rather than the riffs. Plus, I love the concept of the music. It’s almost like an old 1960s hammer horror film put into a song.

    Whispered, what an excellent melo death epic! I have loved this band since first hearing Shogunate Macabre! Amazing band. Harlott, great thrash metal opus there too! Other highlights for me were Slime Dimension, Xion, Shrineburner and Godslave

    It almost feels like I'm contractually obliged as a Melbourne resident to shout out Harlott, but that new album is absolutely killer – they just keep getting better. Surprise of the week for me was Green Lung – I'd always meant to check them out, never got round to it, but the new album's a total blast. I think I have some homework to do!
