Blimey!

Just so you don't look so lonely.

^ Thanks. I was actually hoping some would compliment my great taste but alas that's not happening...

NP:

I'd comment but unfortunately embedded Youtube videos aren't displaying for me.

Can't really fault Colin040's taste. I'm not really supposed to comment on the music side of things but fuck it.
I have Memoriam's requiem for mankind playing at the moment, it's hitting me in the face nicely, though it has a boxing glove on, so not really RAW like I like it but that's this highly polished age now a days.

I just ordered that today, should have it next week. I hope it's better than the last one, I found that to be a letdown - though the production was largely to blame, very inconsistent.

They're playing a couple of dates here in September, I'm hoping to make one of them.

I haven't compared it with the previous, ops (is that the right word?).
Not really into analysing music, but I feel it's a logical progression from the first two, definitely starting to shape their own sound. I'd like to see them, I spent the whole of Bolt Thrower's career trying to see them but it never happened, and as yet I haven't seen Benediction. I just don't seem to be in the right place at the right time. Poor me!

Dave Hunt just announced that he's leaving Benediction, so who knows where that leaves them. I'd love to have seen BT too, never managed it.

...Some years ago I had the chance to see Bolt Thrower for fucking free and I didn't go. It's definitely something I regret at this point!

I've really been in a doom metal mood - Trouble, Pentagram, Saint Vitus and now The Obsessed. All good bands that I've never really got into before.
