It was with great pleasure to support Triumph Of Death & meet with the Dark Master of Satanic ceremonies, a man who has been a great inspiration to me for many decades now and continues to with his morbid artistic vision, Mr Tom G. Warrior!!

The Lycanthropic Moon was full and the blood was pumping at the Gov in Adelaide last night - 18/8!! Triumph of Death laid Adelaide to waste with an amazing force of true old school demonic grit!!

Much gratitude to Doug/Amabelle - Hardline Media & crew for having Diabolic Rites play support, and to the metal maniacs who were there to see us open the show, Thankyou.

See you next time!!! 🤘

ANNOUNCEMENT

To Lumen Ad Mortem Followers.

I have made a decision to stand down from drum throne duties. After almost 36 years of playing drums I am winding back on playing live to focus on family and smaller passion projects.

I'm grateful to Lumen for the opportunity to be a part of the band & I wish them nothing but the best of luck for all future endeavours.

OVERKILL --- HORRORSCOPE
🦇☠️🦇☠️🦇☠️🦇☠️🦇☠️🦇

1991 was a fu***ng insane year for heavy metal!!
New York maniacs, Overkill released the legendary album, 'Horrorscope'.....

Overkill's work ethic is a fine example of just how hard they have worked & maintained a 40+ year career, whilst defying trends and music industry hyperbole!!

Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth & D.D.Verni have weathered more than their fair share of career ups & downs, but the brilliant 'Horrorscope' album remains as a true underdog triumph!!!

The riffs have that familiarity that makes up the Overkill ethic which are played by duo, Merrit Gant & Rob Cannavino who replaced the legendary Bobby Gustafson, but arguably made just as much of an impression with the innovative structures, great riffs & overall brilliance!! Drummer Sid Falk plays with style, finesse and ease through slick tracks, 'Coma', 'Thanks for Nuthin', 'Blood Money', & 'Horrorscope'.....

Bobby Blitz adds a rough streetwise quality of life through his revulsion & scepticism of humanity's scum with his unique and scathing vocal style which I'd say is one of the most recognisable in metal history!!
D.D Verni is one of the coolest and most versatile bassists, and pulls of tough fretwork effortlessly!!

Get your 'Horrorscope' read by Overkill....

SEPULTURA - ARISE 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

'ARISE', Sepultura's 4th album is an extremely well conceived and executed one!
Carefully crafted after the success of 'Beneath the Remains', the band dominated with their Brazilian thrash metal belligerence!!

Cavalera brothers, Max - Seps CEO on Guitarmaggeddon/abuse, Igor - Battery King, alongside Adreas Kisser - Riff Chef and Paulo Jnr - Bass Chops, forge a formidable powerhouse album full of vicious riffs, tribal drumming, heavy death-thrash, soaked in the South American flavours, served on a bed of punk-f**k-you, then drizzled in a bloodbath salad of frenzied spiced metal perfection, all whilst maintaining a finesse only few could match!!

Tracks that stand out here are, 'Dead Embryonic Cells', 'Desperate Cry', 'Murder'.....

ROSE TATTOO

Australian Hard Rock Royalty, ROSE TATTOO'S debut album, self titled and recorded by the famous, Vanda/Young producers (AC/DC, Angel's etc.) is the gold standard for 'True old school hard rock'....

Released in 1978, Angry Anderson & his band of brothers became one of the hardest working bands in the business..
His raw, energetic and reckless frontman staunchness, alongside slide/blues guitar genius, Pete Wells, Mick C***s- guitars, Geordie Leach/Ian Rilen - bass & Dallas Royal, had an edge that took Rose Tattoo to worldwide fame!!

The tracks on this album speak for themselves...
'Rock n' Roll Outlaw', 'Nice Boy's Don't play Rock n' Roll', 'One of the Boy's', 'The Butcher & Fast Eddy' & 'Astra Wally'....

45 years later, their legacy continues on!!

Dark Angel Official - TIME DOES NOT HEAL 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Dark Angel's 'Time Does Not Heal', is a monstrous demonstration of classic Thrash Metal which is by far some of the genres best!!

When I recently heard about Dark Angel guitarist, Jim Durkin's death (RIP) I was compelled to write this tribute review in honour of this man's legacy and his sick fretboard skills! The Australian tour in 2019 was testament to this fact and one of the best gigs I've ever witnessed!!

'Time Does Not Heal' is an epic album, packed with killer riffs, sick vocals & crushing drumming, courtesy of the Legendary Skinlord, Gene Hoglan!!

Vocalist, Ron Rhineheart has a quality about his vocals that is pure class!! His energetic, gritty voice and character gel so well with the overall ambience, that it brings these songs to an awe-inspiring level!!

This album is seriously a stellar effort, from start to finish, production values and the slickness of the whole fu***ng recording makes this a 10 out of 10 performance!! From the start to it's conclusion, TDNH is pure excellence!!!

ONCE UPON THE 👹 CROSS 👹

After the insanity of Deicide's- 'Deicide' and follow up album, 'Legion', the Floridian quartet of Death Metal Satanist's wrote and recorded the 3rd instalment, 'Once Upon the Cross'....

The results were outstanding to say the least! Glen Benton, Steve Asheim & Hoffman brothers, Brian & Eric, created a very cohesive and crushing album, which slowed down some of the songs to a dynamic & powerful force to be reckoned with!!

The vocals are bombastic, heavy & true Benton signatures which never disappoint!

The Golden age of Death Metal created plenty of new bands, one of which I heard at the time, which was UK's, Cancer Official Band

'Death Shall Rise' was the band's second album, and it's a showcase of lots of chunky mid paced DM, in that classic style, with plenty of catchy, but dark riffs and the Scott Burns signature sound from Florida's Morrisound studios!!

Notably, the track, 'Hung Drawn & Quartered', received lots of international attention, as well as the addition of Deicide's infamous Glen Benton's vocal back ups which provided some nice venom to the tracks overall charm!!!

James Murphy, lead guitar virtuoso, lends his expertise to the album to maximum effect and complimenting Carl Stokes's solid, heavy hitting as chief skinsman and alongside Vocal/Guitar frontman, John Walker, who brings a seethingly acidic vocal attack & staunchly brutal riff assault!!

Old school and SAVAGE!!!!
