A Thrash Supreme! (The Crown: Hell Is Here)


You know what? Mondays ain't too bad anymore since me has new metal pumping thru me veins. Fer too long me has been content to just listening to the old stuff in me collection. Y'know, basically, albums yer familiar with - Sepultura's Beneath The Remains, Entombed's Left Hand Path et al - sorta like a comfy old sarong you keep wearing despite the holes. Even the new stuff me buys is usually of veteran bands. The last two metal albums me bought were Obituary's Xcutioner's Return & Celtic Frost's Monotheist.

So the dicovery of The Dark Factory blog & dozens of other similar links has most certainly reawakened the metal warrior in me! Been subsisting on a diet of metal, metal & more fooking metal the last few weeks. Even at work, me is blasting death, black or thrash metal fer inspiration. And you know what, the work day passes by as quickly as Slayer's Reign In Blood.

And speaking of thrash, it gives me great pleasure to share the above album with me fellow headbangers. This Swedish crew combine all that is good about the genre. Hell Is Here (1999) sounds like a cross between Kreator's Extreme Aggression & Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power. Its hard, heavy & unrelenting but what keeps the whole enterprise afloat is the fact these fookers can write a decent tune (check out track #3, 1999 Revolution 666 fer proof).

Trust me, this album will chase away whatever Monday blues/Sunday hangovers you many be experiencing. To download, just click on http://www.mediafire.com/?aol0mxb0jx5 . Click, play & fooking headbang ye heavy metal muthas!!!

ps: Sorry, couldn't find any vids from this album but found one when they were still trading under their old moniker of Crown of Thorns. The vid doesn't really capture the sheer intensity of the album above so do give it a try. It really is ball-bustingly good!

pps: As usual, me look forward to reading yer opinions on this album.

Ok boss, I confess, I didn’t check it out. You were spot-on, been head-bangin’ to a some classic metal albums i.e sepultura’s arise. And last week a bloody satan borrowed me darkthrone’s A Blaze In The Northern Sky CD.

Then last Saturday was the moment geek rockers been waiting for for more than 2 years- RED ALBUM BY WEEZER!!! Woohooooooooo…no other music matters to us now. screw Britney…

1st single Pork & Beans rocks like hell, as in gila babi!!!!!!!!!!!

Geek rules!!

so sudden...... the blasting starts! my God, luckily i have a healthy heart...

not my cup of tea though... i'm a coffee person

Bernard said...

(Choke! Choke!) Ms. Lim, you're no longer a coffee person, you're one of us alcohol person & you know (& luurve...) it!!

AD : Just got a copy. Can't listen clearly yet as am in office, but seems very "in yer face" if you know what I mean.

Tuan Kerp: New Weezer album any good-ka? Do a review-la...

anfield devotee said...

kerp: Yeah, dude, agree with bernard. Do a review.

As good as blue album?

Bernard: Exactly. Very much a Tyson punch in the face! Fook yeah!

senorita: Cool, janji cuba. More great stuff to come. Found some pretty good music over the weeekend. Will post soon.

Azer Mantessa said...

it's 43.07 MB and my puter reject it straight away for having lack of memory :((

the YouTube show however is great.

thanks for sharing. someday, i might do metal.

Kerp (Ph.D) said...

bernard,

am not good at doing another bala, reviewing albums.

but guys, for =W= hardcores, this is a must-have. Bala, i doubt there'll be another Blue album-like but i can safely say the Red album is as good as their 2nd outing, Pinkerton if not better. In their own word, 'RAAADDD!'...

LLT and Karen, maybe this one's more of ya cuppa tea (and coffee). go to youtube and type Pork & Beans. even if you dont dig the song you'll definitely love the vid.

Kerp,
Did as you said. Liked the video!

Achilles said...

AD: Fooking awesome stuff... love the guitaring and drums... but to be honest and to unfortunately disappoint you... i thought the vocals tak kena-lah.... as you know, i am not a big fan of the growls and deep throat screaming. As you know, me like the Sabastian Bach or Axl Rose kinda screaming better.... melodic, hitting higher notes... you know-lah.

But at least we agree on Fin Troll being kick ass cool... hehehehehehe.

anfield devotee said...

achilles: No worries. Its a FREE sample, so long as you give it a try.

But the music on the album is fooking awesome!
