Kguillemette | 1,539 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Been digging Motorhead a ton lately. They absolutely deserve their spot as a titan of NWOBHM next to the likes of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely deserve their spot as a titan of NWOBHM next to the likes of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. My relationship with Motorhead never made it past every song sounding like the Ace of Spades. Always loved Lemmy‘s Ricks though. Used to have a 4003 at my local Guitar Center. They definitely believed that 16 year old me wanted to test it because I was in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,401 Editorials Team · Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hey, what's another way I can drive my views on a weekly basis? In someone else's thread no less? Reed's Album of the Week #1: Cynic - Focus The Florida Death offshoot's landmark debut album, this fusion of technical metal, jazz, and...uh, vocoders, is one of the 90s' best metal albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed. It's probably still in my personal top 10 somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 3,919 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Not sure if any of you guys are fans of Gunship (if you haven’t heard them I highly recommend checking them out). They did a collaboration with Dave Lombardo. I’m not a Slayer fan but always love Dave’s drumming. Here’s the track: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesmaster14 | 429 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) This made me smile on so many levels. \^^/ Story below: and yes they slay too!

Reed Rothchild | 9,401 Editorials Team · Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Reed's Album of the Week #2 Protest the Hero - Fortress Canadia's prodigal sons gave us two of the 2000s' best metal albums. Best described as metalcore mathcore progressive metal ????? metal, their 2nd album Fortress to this day remains their high point. Come for the Bloodmeat. Stay for the Bone Marrow. And be blown away by Spoils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like progressive power metal? Then bask in Tom Englund's magnum opus, a criminally unheralded metal masterwork. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,401 Editorials Team · Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Reed's Album of the Week #4 Soilwork - The Living Infinite How many artists release their best work 9 albums and almost 20 years after their formation? Is it zero. It's zero, isn't it? Enter Soilwork, with the best MDM album of the 2010s... or is this even an MDM album? What genre even is this? Who can say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I love about soilwork is they just put out great albums. I can go ages without listening to them and then jump back in and they’re still as great as I remember them. Same goes with Dark Tranquility, although some don’t agree so much with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer DT, but that's a story for another week. Favorite Soilwork album? I love Chainheart and will always have a soft spot for Divide. People adore Chaos, but I was always a bit meh on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,401 Editorials Team · Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 ...also, I was supposed to see Soilwork with Nevermore and Symphony X. Then someone on Soilwork got hurt and they pulled out. And then Nevermore broke up. Right before the show... It was almost as bad as that time I was gonna see As I Lay Dying, right before Tim hired a hitman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer DT too, probably my favourite MDM band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,539 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I discovered them relatively early on with Steelbath Suicide, thought it was okay but moved on from them. I'm going to have to give them a more proper listen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,401 Editorials Team · Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Reed's Album of the Week #5: Mercyful Fate - Melissa Is this the greatest metal album of all time? Is Evil the greatest metal song of all time? Is that the greatest cover art of all time? Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
