    Loved Crypta.
    Really loved Chaos Descent.
    Chupacabra was awesome.
    And agree re Skindred live. Not heard this album yet tho. But they are brilliant. Have taken the lad to see them twice.

    Liked Shadows of Sorrow a lot, it's probably my album of the week so far. Skindred, while being good at what they do, are just not my cup of tea. as you seemed to have foreseen 😉 . I'll certainly check those other albums out.
    So as far as my own suggestions go, I have only one yet: Dymna Lotva, a two-person band from Belarus (but exiled for their resistance against Lukashenko) put out a new album called "The Land under the Black Wings: Blood", and this is just beautiful post-black metal with some Doom and Folk influences, very ethereal and atmospheric. Never heard about them before but this one's simply great.

    Very interesting line-up for that super-band; Demmel wrote a fair amount of music (or at least came up with some cool riffs) with MH and V, so that hopefully means some interesting material, especially if others contribute to the writing. Thanks, as always, for the new recommendations.

    I have 2 recamadations for you. 1. Vengeance Rising, their first album "Human Scarerfice." Their old school thrash metal from the 80's. 2. Is a death metal band called Mortification. The album to check out is "Scrolls of the Megilloth." Although you can't go wrong with any of theses two bands discography. 🤘🤘 If you do check them out and like them, please do a video about them. I'd love to hear what you think.
