nesmaster14 | 434 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 RIP to the one and only Joey Jordison. Think what you want about the band, but he influenced a generation of metal drummers in the early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Evil the greatest metal song of all time? Is that the greatest cover art of all time? Maybe. Such a classic. Fantastic from start to finish. I think I actually prefer Don’t Break the Oath though. Legendary and foundational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,837 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thanks @Reed Rothchild. Now I’m gonna be on a King Diamond kick. Listening to Melissa now. So good. He always hooked up with the most kick ass guitarists. Hank Sherman & Michael Denner are one of the most underrated guitar duos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,521 Editorials Team · Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Reed's Album of the Week #6: Mastodon - Crack the Skye Stop what you're doing and listen to the album. The entire thing. I don't care if you've heard it a thousand times. I don't care if you think you don't like Mastodon. Just do it. You're welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,521 Editorials Team · Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Reed's Album of the Week #7 Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape It's probably been at least a week since I professed my love on VGS for this album. And I mean literal love. I'd marry this album if it was socially acceptable. Seriously. You know those people who get hitched to rollercoasters, or Japanese body pillows, or whatever other insane shit? That's me and this album. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,521 Editorials Team · Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Reed's Album of the Week #8 Kalmah - Swampsong This @empire-approved selection features so many moments where it's impossible not to headbang: the opener, Doubtful About It All, Bird of I'll Omen... And Moon of My Nights is my absolute #1 favorite metal song of all time. Without a doubt. Such an addictive groove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray | 2,448 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Another @empire approved selection. Plus you get a lil Pan Flute solo halfway in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,521 Editorials Team · Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Interesting, that playlist I linked has a bonus song at the end that I'm not familiar with. Moon of my Nights is what I meant to refer to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much awesome from a single Swedish band! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
