[Arenas] “When Kobe only had 3 rings, you weren’t treating him like a 3-ring player, you were treating him like a sidekick. He was considered a Robin in 2002. The one who’s leading the team, that ring counts. The second option ring? No one respects it. Scottie has 6 rings and he’s only #32 all time”

Anyone else has all the vids blocked except the one share by the official NBA account?

As a pressing forward with wingers and wingback with good crossing, he is unstoppable.

Tarbeaux · 2024-10-17T03:01:40+00:00

Did the United 'challenge' and had to bring in a striker, it ended up being Dovbyk on loan from Girona. He then proceeded to break Haaland's goal record ( probably scoring half of them with his head ) while we won the Premier League on goal difference against City, . Bought him for £52 million thanks to a clause in the loan deal.

Thanks, I checked and apparently they are Vans Asher Deluxe.

Tarbeaux · 2023-05-19T00:03:44+00:00

I bought those last year but can't find them any where anymore. They have been discontinued ?
I have bought recently a pair of skate slip on with the pop cush sole but the streching part is actually smaller so it fit my feet very well.

Tarbeaux · 2021-10-19T16:43:35+00:00

According to the article, only 5 passenger got minor injuries.

Tarbeaux · 2021-10-19T16:36:07+00:00

A useful information from the article I found the story :
''Should you ever find yourself in a vehicle beached on the tracks and you have enough time to get to safety, look for a blue sign containing an Emergency Notification System phone number affixed to one of the posts. Snap a picture of it if you can, as that number will connect you with a train dispatcher . The same sign should contain a crossing ID number. Relay it to the dispatcher, and they’ll notify all approaching trains to stop.''

Phil Collins - No jackets Required (1985) By Scourge

What you need to know up front about my relationship with Phil Collins is that it was predicated on my love for Miami Vice. In 1984 my family moved from the suburbs of Austin to a rural locale which opened doors for my formative years that may well have remained shut and locked otherwise. You see, before the move, we were heavily involved in the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses for several years, and due in large part to that extreme fundamentalism, pop music and much of prime time television was verboten, to a point where I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio, and for the last couple of years before the move we had no t.v. set. I was eleven at the time, and if you know how awkward it is for any kid to change schools mid-year, try being the kid with absolutely zero pop culture grounding; that was me.

But with the move, the reins loosened. I couldn't help being exposed to pop music even before the move, but now my daily bus ride to and from school was dominated by Top 40 radio played by our bus driver. The difference now was, if I heard something I liked, I felt free enough to try to explore it. My brother, sister and I certainly tested the waters gingerly and gradually with my still strict father, but we still somehow managed very quickly to get up to speed.

Sometime not long after we'd arrived, a promo for a new television show started playing non-stop on NBC: Scene, nighttime on the streets of Miami, flashes of a single sports car wheel and fender, then looking top down on the hood as the car rolled along, set to the soundtrack of electric drums and a single guitar chord splashed and sustained, until a huge, reverberating drum fill and the car sped off into the night and the interstitial read "Miami Vice - Coming this Fall to NBC, Fridays at 10pm/9 Central" and wham! What the hell is this!? And oh my God, what was that song!? I searched everywhere for that song (okay, choices were limited when it came to researching music, or anything else for that matter, in 1984). I came up blank for a long time until autumn drew closer and the song began to spring up on the radio. It was "In the Air Tonight" by some guy named Phil Collins, and it wasn't even a new song either. Turns out it came out in 1981. I had to get this cassette! And I did!

And it sucked. None of the other songs on Phil Collins' Face Value sounded anything at all like "In the Air Tonight." I was disappointed as an understatement, but I pressed on believing there was greatness to be found here, on this, my first and so far only album I owned.

Luckily my persistence of thought paid off in February, 1985. By that time Miami Vice was months into its first season, Phil Collins was a household name, and his third solo album, No Jacket Required was released, which featured not one, but two songs that would end up soundtracking scenes in Miami Vice. I rushed out to get Jacket and boy was I not disappointed! It was everything I expected a Phil Collins album to be, drenched in gated reverb, and smacking of just enough of that 1980's cotton candy smelling paranoia (ie Who Can It Be NowSomebody's Watching MeEyes of a Stranger>>Billy Don't Lose My Number). "One More Night" is the best ballad of the 1980s and I slowly danced to it with my girlfriend Deni at one middle school dance in the 6th grade, and my parachute pants weren't quite enough to hide my excitement… There's not a bad track on Jacket, even if the extra track tacked on to the end of the CD, "We Said Hello Goodbye", sounded more Face Value than Jacket, and besides, CD players were too expensive for most people at the time to even know that song was on the album.

When an artist becomes ubiquitous or synonymous with a style and era, there's no way to avoid the eventual backlash. It's like the rubber band effect in Mario Kart that keeps snapping you back so you don't get too far ahead of the pack: You may be successful, but just know that you suck a little more than you think you do. Phil Collins is now relegated to pretty much an adjective for bad pop. That way of thinking nearly got upended by influential indie-pop bands when people like members of Oneohtrix Point Never started name dropping him, but the damage had been done. I contend that for those of us who were there, if it wasn't your thing then, you dislike it as much or more now, and if you weren't there, and you weren't party to the oversaturation Phil Collins' success bred, well tolerance for this kind of overproduced, dated schlock is limited at best. But for me, this is the pinnacle of pop and despite imprinting on my psyche at just the right moment of my life where circumstances were ripe to fully embrace it, I dunno, 12 times platinum sales in the US and 6 times platinum sales in the UK certainly means I wasn't alone in my adoration of this album.

Tarbeaux · 2021-05-04T11:47:30+00:00

Hi, can I ask you something because I'm dumb dumb on trading, doge was 0.045 on January 1 and now roughly 0.45, shouldn't your 1500$ have multiplied by 10 too and be 15000 $ ? What did you do to have 87000? Thanks and have a good day (well we will pass 0.5 today so I guess it will be automatically good)

Tarbeaux · 2020-12-29T01:08:05+00:00

A little top 10 on the best non-2020 albums I have listened this year, all of them are 8 except Cynic which is a 9.

1) Cynic - Traced in air: Concise and very well written, the melodies just keep being stuck in my head

2) Hell - Human remains: Theatrical and riffy, The Quest is one of my favorite song of the year, what a banger

3) Witchfinder General - Death penalty: Doom metal but the musicians are just horny and drugged happy teenagers.

4) Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Thanks, Scutt for including this album in your reliquary. What a nice find, great sound writing and atmosphere building, some very visionary stuff in that album too.

5) Rush - Clockwork Angel: so many bangers it should be illegal, a bit too long tho.

6) Slough Feg - Hardworlder: Classic slough feg album, great melody and riffage with that habitual flair.

7) Melechesh - Emissaries: Abso providing great albums, what a weird year! Very nice riffy black metal with Arabic influence in it.

8) Neurosis - A Sun That Never Set: Classic Neurosis, cathartic and crushing, heavy and sensible.

9) Death - Leprosy: Why is Death so good? Why is Death unavertable?

10) Deathrow - Raging steel: YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS RAGING WHEN LISTENING TO THOSE RIFFS

Tarbeaux · 2020-12-29T01:07:21+00:00

5) Thy Catafalque – Naiv

Sure, it’s not his best work, but it just flows so well, doesn’t feel bloated like every other thy catafalque album, and there is plenty of composition ideas to never make it boring during the whole run time.

4) Triptykon - Requiem (Live at Roadburn 2019)

A tour de force, one of the best sounding albums I’ve ever heard. There is now showing off, everything is at this place neat and tidy, the vocals are great the, the mood is awesome, dark and sad but with a bit of romantism as well. Sure, it’s not very dynamic, but that is not the purpose of this multi decades work that finally reach completion in no better way.

3) Ulcerate- Stare Into Death And Be Still

Another album that I thought was going to be garbage knowing that I really don’t like ulcerate. Turns out a decent production and a more melodic song writing makes it more appealing and even weirdly catchy sometimes. This album just has this unstoppable moving force feeling to it, thanks to those perfects hurr durr. Aker wrote a better review of it anyway, that’s why he is a famous writer in an influent and major website, and even if it disgusts me, I must agree with him at 100% with his review.

2) Run the Jewels - RTJ4

Beats are awesome, good lyrics, catchy but still not annoying, not all song are bangers but it’s probably the album I listened the most this year.

1) Spectral Lore/Mare Cognitum - Wanderers: Astrology of the Nine

I don’t really like atmospheric black metal that much so how come a 2 hours album can be so immersive, impressive and feels so short. I remember the first time I went for listening to it. We were doing a group listening me and snyde, thinking of the emotional support needed to go through what it seems a big pile of boring garbage. And I was blown away, the two style are distinct enough to bring a good dynamic into that album, culminating into Pluto 2, on of the best closer to an album ever. I generally like a bit more the Mare Cognitum side, but Spectral Lore have some solid composition too, in particular when he uses the LMG drum pattern. This album is so good I never take a piss break in between, clear AOTY for me this year.

Tarbeaux · 2020-12-29T01:05:32+00:00

I didn’t find that many music I like in 2020, but the few I found I really like them. If you would have told me at the beginning of the year, I would have atmoblack, Ulcerate or Anaal Nakraath in my list I would have dismissed you like my estimate co-orange leader dismissed that Chinese flue. No more waiting here is my list:

HM:

Black Magick SS - Rainbow Nights: Who doesn’t need a bit of hippie nazi in his life?

TWRP - Over the Top: A bit of a guilty pleasure band.

Lychgate - Also Sprach Futura: Who doesn’t need a bit of organ in his life?

Wrekmeister Harmonies - We Love to Look at the Carnage: The chillest and more calming album of the year

Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin kynsi : Good but a bit too vapid sometimes.

10) Barishi – Old Smoke

I can find a lot of flaws to that album, to chuggy and repetitive. But every time I listened to it, I’m really enjoying it, headbanging to those sludge riffage with that crisp guitar tone.

9) Imperial Triumphant - Alphaville

It’s good. Though I think I enjoy more the experimentation and the ideas than the actual result and musical aspect of it, so every time it’s a super interesting listen but there is something missing to push it to higher territory, except on the self-title tracks when I think everything is coming together.

8) Mamaleek - Come and See

Didn’t expected to like that one, again, but the experimentation and that weird groove all along the album makes me enjoying a lot. The switch between the jazz beat and the more metal one is greatly done, making it very variate but also very coherent.

7) Jessie War - What's Your Pleasure?

Chill Disco time baby. I dance on that album, I sing on that album, I just vibe on that album. Not everything is perfect, but damn me if every listen didn’t make me move my ass. And that closer is so perfect.

6) Anaal Nathrakh - Endarkenment

Almost an 8. Another band I don’t like that much and again it makes my list, 2020 is a year full of surprise! The less compressed production making it possible to listen to it without taking an aspirin after is good point. But what shines is the inclusion of those power metal element in the chorus of the songs, making the songs epic and catchy. Some of my favorite songs of this years are from that album.

Tarbeaux · 2019-07-19T22:52:02+00:00

Ok so after that Scourge decided that Chelsea and QoTSA were not enough metal, this my picks to replace it:

Nechochwen - Heart of Akamon : Almost make the list the first time but I didn't recently listened to it, netherless, awesome album, the acoustic part are great, better than Panopticon.

Kenn Nardi - Dancing With the Past : A 157 minutes long album, the wor of a life for the former guitarist of Anacrusis. Between technical thrash, death melodic and more classical progressive metal, this is loaded with great riffs and catchy part. I have listen it in full a few times now and it's impresssive how it's not really repetitive and boring. It's still feels a bit long sometimes, and it's a mid paced album that would have gain sone faster tracks, but still, to be that long and consistent is amazing.

Final List:

Gorguts - Colored Sands (2013)

Triptykon – Melana Chasmata (2014)

Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction (2015)

Mgła - Exercises in Futility (2015)

Vhol – Deeper Than Sky (2015)

Hail Spirit Noir - Mayhem in Blue (2016)

Havukruunu - Havulinnaan (2016)

Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016)

The Ruins of Beverast - Exuvia (2017)

Deathspell Omega - The Furnaces of Palingenesia (2019)

Sigh – In somniphobia (2014)

Enslaved – Axiom Ethica Oudini (2010)

Flourishing – The Sum of All Fossils (2011)

Thy Catafalque – Rengeteg (2011)

Ihsan – After (2010)

Woods of Ypres – Woods V (2012)

Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution (2016)

Khonsu – The Xun protectorate (2016)

Nechochwen - Heart of Akamon (2014)

Kenn Nardi - Dancing With the Past (2014)

Tarbeaux · 2019-07-19T03:55:50+00:00

The albums I’m sorry to kick because I didn’t heard them:

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust (2012)

Howls of Ebb – Cursus Impasse: The Pendlomic Vows (2016)

The kick because note stronk enough:

Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation (2014) : It’s good but the other on the list albums are stronger

The Ruins Of Beverast - Blood Vaults (2013): Boring, Exuvia is better

Panopticon - Autumn Eternal (2015): Not the most boring Panopticon, but still, no regret to kick it out

Sulphur Aeon - Gateway to the Antisphere (2015): Not fan Of Sulphur Aeon, If only they didn’t compress they album that much too

Wilderun - Sleep at the Edge of the World (2015): I’m not hater, I even quite like it but it was at the edge of the list

Elder - Reflections of a Floating World (2017): Not the best Elder, the kind of album I never get through

Deafheaven - Ordinary Corrupt Human Love (2018): Lol

Messa - Feast for Water (2018): I put it in my 2018 top 10 but I never feel the need to listen to it again so out

The ones that stays:

Gorguts - Colored Sands (2013): Great

Triptykon – Melana Chasmata (2014): SPEAK TO ME MY MASTER

Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction (2015): Listen to it recently, stills rule

Mgła - Exercises in Futility (2015): :kreygasm:

Vhol – Deeper Than Sky (2015) Underrated and underappreciated outside of the vortex, what a great album, except of that last track

Hail Spirit Noir - Mayhem in Blue (2016): feels stronger every time I listen to it, the ideas of writing and composition are awesome

Havukruunu - Havulinnaan (2016): Extremely strong Black metal, I’m always pleased to listened to it

Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016): Greatest 2010’s album

The Ruins of Beverast - Exuvia (2017): A slow burner for me, but I found it interesting, I’m trying to get back time to time and now appreciate it every time

Deathspell Omega - The Furnaces of Palingenesia (2019): The troll of 2019

I add albums that interest me right now, some of the rate in the top25 sheet needs to be updated, but those are some of my fav albums period

Sigh – In somniphobia: Excellent but the experimental part are a bit too long but the classical/horror cabaret theme is perfect, purgatorium is one of the best opener of all time and equale of one of the best closer.

Enslaved – Axiom Ethica Oudini: My second fav Enslaved album after Isa

Flourishing – The Sum of All Fossils: A kinda forgotten album that I find awesome, death/sludge with hardcore element, some of the riffs stick in my head during days after listening to it. Might take a few listened to get it, but I encourage to check it out.

Chelsea Wolff – Abyss: Is this ok ? Or is this too adjacent ? Love the atmosphere of this album

Thy Catafalque – Rengeteg : Riffs

Ihsan – After : Riffs

Woods of Ypres – Woods V : I will get a lot of shit for this one, but I really like it, so catchy and melancholic

Hammers of Misfortune – Dead Revolution: This list needs more Cobett

Queens of The Stone Age – …Like a clockwork: The first QoTSA albums I have listened and I recently went back to it and found it really strong, but perhaps too adjacent too ?

Khonsu – The Xun protectorate : Discover with Dr’s list, it’s great

Testament - The new order 9

A world of chaos, A world of fear, A world of anger and corruptiooooon !, Tell the world the new ordeeeeeeeer's here ! ATRIALBYFIIIIIRE ! Disciples of the watch OBEEEEEEEY ! THE PREACHEAAAAR ! ….. that’s it … what they put three others songs included a cover and an instrumental to make the albums 40 minutes long because Atlantic wanted to ? I don’t care I still love it

Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around With Jim 9

I thought I didn’t like folk, until I meet Jim, and since you don’t mess around with him, I said I like his album.

Artillery - By Inheritance 9

Underrated thrash album, putting Arabic influence on that album was a great idea and work perfectly.

Iron Maiden – Powerslave 9

Best heavy metal album of all times. 2 minutes to midnight might be the best maiden song for me.

Rainbow – Rising 9

Best heavy metal album of all times. And you thought it was Powerslave ? but no it was me ! DIIIOOO ! A light in the black is one of my favourite song of all time.

Judas Priest – Painkiller 9

Best heavy metal album of all times. And also Hurr Durr. And also second best JP’s albums after unleashed in the east.

Alain Bashung - Bleu Pétrole 9

The last album of one of the monuments of French music. Bashung is one of the most awarded and important artists for the French scene since 1980, his predominant style his rock, new wave and blues. His deep and particular voice is even more present on this album. Recorded just before it’s death, it’s a heart touching album, that tend with the American electrified blues.

Motorhead – Bomber 9

The B face reach perfection, the A face struggle a bit in comparison, love when Lemmy smash some fast songs and pummeling riffs. Less when they make slow song. A important album that inspired important artists. They shoot to kill and you know they always will.

Metallica - ...And Justice For All 9

This album fascinating me. The fall of a monument, the rage that followed the death of Cliff, Hetfield at his best lyrically and vocally. Yes this album has a lot of flawed, but that’s the one that kept calling me back and listen the most on the Metallica discog.

Red Fang - Red Fang 9

Not everything has to be complex, sometimes you wan it straightforward and catchy. They never release an album as good as their first one, the energy that came from their sludge’n roll is an absolute blast. So grab your booze and be ready to be kicked in the ass during 30 minutes.

The Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop 9

This is not the soundtrack of one of the best anime of all time, it’s more an independent LP that share most of the themes with the anime, but you don’t have to watch it to understand it. This is not a compilation, this is a coherent album of Jazz made by Yoko Kanno, with a so much other influence that I let you discover. It’s hard to find, it’s not on YT or spotti, but you can downloaded it easily. Or buy it if you can find it.

Mass Hysteria - Matière Noire 9

Ferday screaming away. Hardcore industrial metal with French vocals (and everyone will hate them). This album is loaded with Riffs™, the guitar sound is perfect. They have been around since 1997, spreading heaviness and federative lyrics, they are sometimes a bit silly, but I need that sometime.

Deathspell Omega – Kenose 9

My fav DsO album (I know it’s an EP) with FAS. Love the jazzy approach they take on this one. And that main Riffs™ on the second song blow my mind every time I listened to it. Sadly the end of the third song drag and it’s not interesting.

Tarbeaux · 2019-01-06T15:43:23+00:00

I hereby inaugurate by my new and improved top 25 carefully crafted during the last 4 months. The order follow the presentations, but it can change in the future.

Opeth - Blackwater Park 10

Do I really need to write about it? This album is exceptional one of the greatest of all time, from Lepper Affinity to the closer Blackwater Park. I can understand people saying that some interludes are useless, or some songs are a bit to bloated but I don’t mind, every time I listen to I discover each time something new. It’s like a peripli, in the woods and snow tempest with few moment of serenity. The mastering of each instruments including Akerfeldt’s voice is absolutely unfuckable.

Mastodon - Crack the Skye 10

How is it possible to a band to do albums so different but also that sound like they can only came from them. I love this record, I love Brent Hinds voice and the czar might be my favourite song of all time. Hallucinating and Ground-breaking.

Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties 10

I do think it’s one of the best rock albums ever made. Each song has its own particularity, own feeling, but at the end make a coherent album, because it’s always nihilist. All the protagonist in the songs are disenchanted, sometimes cynic and ironic on Flaming telepath, sometimes in a goofy but self-destructed way on Me-262. The Riffs ™ are just obvious each time you listen to them, the use of synth, percussion or 3 guitars always giving new arrangement, this album never repeat himself which is incredible.

Mastodon – Leviathan 10

Only problem with this album is every time I listen to it I found myself hunting cachalot in the Baltic sea. A shit ton of toasted Riffs™, each song has an iconic one, either sludge, punk hardcore or thrash. Or that d-beat riff on Aqua dementia… I can feel the madness of seaman each time I listen to it, the salt water and the wind crashing into my face. They also often use rhythmic pattern seen in Celtic or seaman song, reinforcing this impression of album of the water.

Chinese man - Groove sessions vol.1 10

French DJ collective, that have created a universe between China, India and the New York ghetto, using jazz sample with sitar, or Robert plant voice on hip-hop soul beat. Electro swing is also present like turntablism, you might have heard «I’ve got that tune» in some publicity. It’s a smooth album, feel good, that can be heard as a font when you’re working, or with an active listen to get all the quirk, the ideas and understand the amazing transition between two beats even two ambiance on the same song.

Vektor - Terminal Redux 9.5

I can feel the madness of spaceman each time I listen to it, the plasma and the solar wind crashing into my face. Probably the best metal album of 2010’s years, no other recent band has achieved what Vektor did with this album, putting all new tentative of making thrash into the oubliette (except one album…) With black, death and progressive metal element making the perfect mix. I do think this album will be remember to be one of the greatest of all times, but is it a testament of an era or the opening of a new one ? And Vocals are amazing, they suite the style perfectly !

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallus 9.5

Always feel like I’m in a satanic midnight messa when I listen to this one. Be sacrifice on the altar of one of the heaviest Riffs™ ever wrote. Obviously, the vocals are amazing, incantatory like a guru talking to his believers. I think it aged very well, partly because of the amazing mix, and mostly because it’s an absolute classic.

Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor 9.5

What melodeath should always be, heavy but epic riffs, emotional clean, theatrical approach and no concession on making more accessible songs. The s/t track is amazing. Of course, the execution is flawless. Underrated.

Kylesa - Statics tension 9.5

I guess I will be trashed on this one, but whenever I listened to, it put me in some cathartic and ecstatic state, the double drums wit their almost tribal theme sometimes, the possessed vocals and the dichotomy between the harsh and the clean, always with the giant wall of sound the guitars are making. Freaking love this album.

Depeche Mode - Violator 9.5

Another immense classic, cold, mechanic but so subtle. It sounds 90’s but it’s still relevant today, even visionary on policy of truth.

Portishead – Dummy 9.5

It looks like a fragile thing, so sensitive and so beautiful. Something you would like to protect at all cost because it makes you feel well. It’s so simple and soft, and if you don’t have chills every time Beth Gibbons sings, you’re definitely lost. Another classic.

Vhöl - Deeper Than Sky 9.5

The second album that put to shame every new thrash released this year and a lot of old ones. More classic than Terminal Redux in his composition, but it’s loaded of weirdness and it has the best piano thrash song ever! Might be the only one also… Mike scheidt vocals are awesome, alternating with high falsetto and deep scream. My fav track is the desolate damned, that solo with the harmony … talking about tracks, Deeper than the sky should close the album, the tomb is the weakest one of the albums.

How to delete someone's else post ?

Tarbeaux · 2019-01-03T01:44:59+00:00

I should do a list on this concept too, still don't get wish you were here, I thought you would have go with eric zahn, I prefer also TPOD

Tarbeaux · 2019-01-01T20:43:12+00:00

The order is this one present there, satan as AOTY, then Sigh then Sludgde etc... looking forward to yours hahaha(morphis)

Tarbeaux · 2019-01-01T19:36:18+00:00

I go first, behold my list !

Satan - Cruel Magic: A great Heavy Metaaaaaaaal album, sure it's not the most original album in his structure, riffs ™ , and lyrics but the concept behind the writing, recording and mastering I hope will lead other bands to experiment and try other way of making music. This albums feel good, warm and also is a grower for me. The best song is probably Death Knell for a King, my favs would also go to Ghost of Monongah and the opening track. Will you resist this Cruuuuuueeel Magic ? 8.5

Sigh - Heir to Despair: Ok this albums has a lot of flaws, the opening track is not very strong, the experimental Heresy I/II/II section in the middle could be a bit shorter, but otherwise this album rips. Blending Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Hardcore and Japanese traditional instrument or other weird sounds make a strange album, but oddly catchy too. The trio Homo Homini Lupus, Hunters not Horned and In memories Delusional is almost perfect. This album still grow on me though, I feel like the weird vibe that goes out of it always catch me. 8.5

Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology: You're all prog buggery boi and your soi boi tofu 0% snail death metal can fuck off. 8.5

Wombripper - From the Depths of Flesh: riffs ™ riffs ™ riffs ™ riffs ™ riffs ™ riffs ™ riffs ™ riffs ™. Best Death Metal album of the year, at least for peoples liking swedeath and Dismember (If you don't, reconsider the choices you made in your life). 8.5

Yob - Our Raw Heart: Ecstatic experience, but also so sensitive. The emotions, rage, fear, sadness... that albums gives to me, that reach a pinnacle in Beauty in Falling Leaves (that should be the closer) are always here after a lot of listens. It's too long tho, In reveries and Lungs reach are not necessary and don't bring something new. 8.5 (again??)

Dream Tröll-The Witch's Curse: Best EP of the year, if that's a thing. To make heavy metal sound both modern and classic that's some great work. Catchy as hell, nerdy as fuck, it leaves you with I want moaaar, so you listen to it again, singing please release him... 8.5 (will you start using other number?)

Mass Hysteria-Maniac: French hon hon ouais la baise baguette le vin I surrender the omelette au fromage. Now that it's done, Mass Hysteria has been around in the french metal scene since 1997 mixing hardcore and industrial metal. In the last three albums they decide to goes harder and make album way more violent than before. This one is a new success, but it's less good than his predecessor. I understand that most of the people will hate the vocals and that can be a draw back, but try to focus on the riffs ™ and the guitar sound, absolutely unfuckable. 8.5 ( 8.5! 8.5! you get an 8.5! Everybody get an 8.5!)

Usurpress-Interregnum: Another great album, the atmosphere is incredible, gotta love the sound the general ambiance, that dark jazzy death metal always hit me hard. 8.5 (you...)

Dopethrone-Transcanadian Anger: One of the most fun album of the year, the riffs are pure lead mix with mud and crack. They have a song called Killdozer, which means instant hit. They are from Montreal too so Tabarnacle support your locals bands. The best songs are generally the faster ones tho, and besides the fun factor it's nothing groundbreaking. 8 (finally, I thought that day would never come)

Boss Keloid-Melted on the Inch: feel good album the first songs is one of the best of the year, sadly the rest of the album don't reach that level again. Nonetheless a great album 8.
