Verbal Abuse - Rocks Your Liver (1986) Verbal Abuse cross punk/hardcore with thrash metal on this platter from 86.

Fans of Billy Hopeless and Black Halos? montecristomagazine.com/arts/vancouv...

Hot damn, what a lineup...

Man, what a wild mix of CDs I found for $13-ish in Northern Alberta... Always YES to Bongzilla.

Amulance - Feel the Pain (1989) An old-school fuckin' speed/heavy metal gem outta... Illinois. This one rips. And the cover will rip AI's head off and shit down its neck.

Ironweed - Ironweed (2025) Ain't nobody, that I've seen, mentioned this one other than Kman. Rockin' grungey-stoner with plenty o' kick. Rewind the tape indeed! ironweedaciddoom.bandcamp.com/album/ironweed

Progressive alternative (weird) Metal from the 80s/90s or however you wanna label them. More on the obscure side despite Phil wearing their shirt on the back of Vulgar. Do you like Voivod or Thought Industry? Mind Over Four - Halfway Down (1993) youtu.be/jGrNbGbf8yw

I think I'm back here and hopefully for good. I'm looking for hard rock, metal and just good music conversation. If you're into that then I might be your guy. It's a fuckin' shit show over there...

kilmore.bandcamp.com/album/call-o... Classic rock through a stoner lens. Outta Halifax, NS. Heather Harris can definitely sing on top of those heavy grooves. Kilmore - Call of the Wild (2018)

Latest Dirtbag Replubic needs more love. Buncha dirtbag rawknrollers from Vancouver rippin' shit up. Dirtbag Replubic - Bad Decisions (2024) dirtbagrepublic.bandcamp.com/album/bad-de...

So, I'm spending Saturday listening to Godzillionaire and rebagging comics. Anyone want to trade glam or stoner metal for comics?

I'd argue that Monster Magnet has yet to put out anything subpar. In fact, I love pretty much every damn thing they've done. Not a lot of bands with that catalog can say the same... This beast, Last Patrol, from 2013 smokes.

My #1 artist this year according to Spot. The track Black Sea is an excellent clash of vibes. You don't see it as often within tracks, but they go from dark to bright. The verses are very dark, but it brightens in the chorus and then goes rather quickly back to dark. Fantastic stuff!

Any nod to Dawn of the Dead and you got me lookin'. Doom laden, sludgey stoner metal outta Oz. King Zog - Second Dawn (2024) marchofkingzog.bandcamp.com/album/second...

Where my Joe Holmes fans at? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdss...

This is so damn good. It somehow slipped under my radar. I'm getting slow keeping up with all the music these days, but this here is KILLER. Godzillionaire - Negative Balance (2020) godzillionaire.bandcamp.com/album/negati...

For a buck. Editors - The Back Room (2005) I do love some post-punk/new wave.

The favourite band you didn't know about or still need to check out. The Tea Party - The Edges of Twilight (1995) youtu.be/6lVtx2PTIE0

Let's take about this heavy metal banger. Quebec's own, Sword. Two killer albums from 86 and 88 and must own in my opinion. Rick Hughes is an excellent vocalist (check out his Saints & Sinners hair metal album). Sword - Sweet Dreams (1988)

Here's one I have on CD, but I'm not sure if I've listened to the entire album through. A lot of various grunge influences across the board. I hear Nirvana, Pearl Jam and others. Rocketboy - Now That We Have Your Attention (1997)

I do like me some Ice War!

Not sure if I've seen you post on one of my fave French Extremity films, @doomedparade.bsky.social Alex Aja's Haute Tension/Switchblade Romance (2004)

Most of my thrift finds from today. I have most of these (except the last pic with the Von, etc), but some might come in handy with trades. I had to rescue the Elephant Riders (best Clutch album, I won't take any arguments otherwise).

I ran into a copy of a fave movie while out thrifting. I wish it was Blu-ray, but this will do. I'm looking forward to the Aja's director cut.

Anacrusis - Screams and Whispers (1993) Weirdo tech/prog speed/thrash metal from St. Lou. I really dig these guys and this album. Also check out the one prior, Manic Impressions (1991).

Straight outta Raleigh, NC. Confessor - Condemned (1991) I've posted about this album a lot before. One of my faves. Prog-thrash-doom-death. It's crazy is what it is and it's fuckin' fantastic! The drumming on this... confessor-earache.bandcamp.com/album/condem...

Sanhedrin - Lights On (2022) Super good trad Metal, but from 2022. A lot of different influences from the usual suspects like Maiden and Priest and Angel Witch, yet still something lunique. thesanhedrin.bandcamp.com/album/lights...

New Heavy Trip incoming. I saw them a few months back and picked up their 2020 self-tiled release. Liquid Planet (2024) heavytripdudes.bandcamp.com/album/liquid...

I loves Dozer, friends. You'll be singing this riff in your head... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs3y...

R I F F S! @sethwestern.bsky.social

First Strike - Rock of Offense (1984) One of the originators in the Xtian hard rock/metal world. I'd say this is in line with the Coney Hatch and Triumph's of the day. Melodic hard rock with dual guitars. Definitely got that 80s vibe.

Dammit! This one slipped by me. Slower - Rage and Ruin (2024) Only 2 Slayer covers slowed down on this beaut, but the originals are also really good. heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/slower...

The golden era of rap for me. 1986-1990 Schoolly D - Smoke Some Kill (1988) Fierce hip-hop outta West Philly. Schoolly was an originator of gangsta rap. Unflinching.

Goddamn, I love the Melvins and especially this track: Revolve The solo near the end with the American Woman (The Guess Who) vibe is just so damn good. Melvins - Stoner Witch (1994)

Going full on power metal late morning. Kiske and Hansen is really all that needs to be said here. Unisonic - self titled (2012)

Man, Earache records has, definitely morphed over the years. Once a haven for the extreme music is now mainstream, mostly rock based. This move has made space for the 20 Buck Spin, Transcending and other great labels.

Silver Talon - Decadence and Decay (2021) Killer US power metal in the vein of Nevermore and Sanctuary.

Oh we have a late mail arrival. Besvärjelsen - Atlas (2022) Filling stoner/doom holes one killer album at a time.

I finally nabbed a copy of local sludgey doomsters, Mendozza (you know you wanna say it out loud in that Simpsons voice). Anyway, this trio fuckin' crushes live. I believe they may be on hiatus, however. mendozza.bandcamp.com/album/cabra-no… Mendozza - Cabra Noche (2011)

Victoria's Sacred Blade. Of The Sun + Moon (1986) "... is a critically acclaimed melodic, progressive, sci-fi power metal masterpiece." supremeecho.bandcamp.com/album/sacred...

This has quickly risen up in my 2024 list. You know when something just hits a spot? This does that in spades.

How is it Tyketto wasnt huge? Danny Vaughan just hits it every damn time. I mean, he must have the blueprint in his back pocket on this sort of melodic hard rock. Tyketto - Reach (2016)

Man, I got a huge boner from this one. Well fuckin' done, Nate. From the artwork to the music inside. So damn good. 20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/faded-...

She thinks she missed the train to Mars... Hum - You'd Prefer an Astronaut (1995) This album is unbelievable. If you've never heard it you should get it all up in your ears. open.spotify.com/track/6lQE6LF3MU63Z6VyhPxaV3

Anyone in the mood? McQueen Street - self titled (1991) From the year of no return. Needless to say this was too little, too late.

Giving this a whirl. I didn't know this was Rey Parra (Sacred Warrior). George Ochoa from Deliverance as well. So far, so good... Worldview - The Chosen Few (2015)

Sven Gali covering a 🇨🇦 classic. Lunatic Fringe from Red Rider. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV8T...

Here's one of my favourite movie scenes that combines the scene with a killer soundtrack (John Murphy). It's frenetic, off-kilter and bonkers. I love it. 28 Weeks Later (2007) youtube.com/watch?v=Z3d7...

All right, I am starting to settle in here a bit. How about I post the goddamn best album from 2023!? Hail the Void - Memento Mori hailthevoid666.bandcamp.com/album/mement...

Scared Warrior - Obsessions (1991) If you like Fates Warning, Queensryche, Crimson Glory, etc. and you haven't heard SW because of the Xtian content, well you owe it to yourself to give em a go.
