Diamond Head – The Coffin Train
an inspired, if somewhat uneven, album that more than holds its own against today’s hordes of old-school copycats.
Soen – Lotus
First comes the head bobbing. Then the aggression. Followed by falling in love with it.
Morbid Angel – Kingdoms Disdained
This is the top notch of death metal. For the old fans, get on this, and for everybody else, if you want a lesson in how to do it right, bend an ear to this.
