Some mopping up of 2009 releases I hadn't had the chance to get before this week. Listening to new albums by bands you've really been into for years always carries with it a bit of trepidation but suffice to say, the new burnt offerings from DARK FUNERAL, SWALLOW THE SUN, COUNT RAVEN, YOB and GORGOROTH have not disappointed. Also cracked open the WITCHFYNDE chest for the first time in a while and blasted a bit of early BLIND GUARDIAN. Got hold of the songs from the AUSTERE split releases too and they are truly epic. I'll write some more on Austere soon.
The December catalogue from Black Tears distribution yielded a few gems previously undiscovered which I've ordered just in time for xmas. The GRIFTEGARD album I have been hankering after for ages so stoked to pick that up. Also checked out RITUALS OF THE OAK who could be compared to a female fronted Warning! Got that on order, check em out (www.myspace.com/ritualsoftheoak). Albums of the year list to be finalised in next two weeks so a busy heavy metal period ahead!
Keep it true \m/
