Manilla Road - The Veils of Negative Existence
because it’s just such an amazing song
Wish they’d played this, actually. Oh well.
Dammit… Look at what you just did, Manilla Road…
You just made most of the other bands I’ve ever seen live seem almost lame in comparison…
You should be ashamed of yourselves.And on a related note:
“Masque of Red Death by the Hammer of the Witches Brew” was probably the best moment of the night.
HEAVY METAL TO THE WORLD
TONIGHTLAST NIGHT!!!!
I had a dream about the London gig afterwards XD
Hope MR come back soon for both England and Finland!

…I like to think that they played Hammer of the Witches because I asked for it. It’s almost certainly not true, but it’s nice to believe! Somehow ended up in a really good spot too, right between Mark The Shark (MARK THE SHARK! MARK THE SHARK!) and Bryan Patrick.
Well, that’s fixed my listening habits for the next few days. IN THE VEILS OF NEGATIVE EXISTENCE I AM THE MASTER, HERE TO STAY

Holocaust - Heavy Metal Mania
Finally got round to listening to the 1993 CD single of this I got months and months ago. I still can’t believe I found one! Anyway, this is perfect post-exam atmosphere setting :D
There’s a new version of Heavy Metal Mania on the single (‘1993 version’) that I’ve never heard before, which is pretty cool and, surprisingly, a lot more aggressive than the 1980 version. Awesome.
Skepticism - Oars In The Dusk
Having a little Skepticism moment, only for some reason it’s incredibly intense and kind of like seeing them in concert again.
Not complaining though.
Slogan - The Pendulum
It seems I’ve moved on from my short-lived Czech metal kick (although I’d love more recs, I don’t know that many bands) to Hungary now with Marblebog and Slogan.
Slogan have slowly become one of my favourite bands - just wish I was able to get hold of more of their stuff, I’d love to hear the Nincs compilation if anyone has it. The only place I’ve seen anything of theirs for sale is a catalogue for some random Hungarian physical shop :/
Anyway, this band are pretty damn odd. Sometimes a bit thrashy (check out ‘Immortality Express’), but most of the time not really headbanging material - that said, they write some of the most twistedly catchy riffs I know of. Their lyrics are also of note: partly because their English is really bad but also because the concepts they address are just as weird as the music. Nothing ever comes off as being done because it’s SO RANDUM LUL, though, which is the thing I literally hate most in music - it’s all organic, it just got given hallucinogenics along with the fertiliser.
Sorry for rambling thing, I’m doing loads of revision at the moment and my brain’s dying.
Assesor - Invaze
I think I’m on a kind of Czech metal streak right now, since I’ve just listened to Maniac Butcher’s Barbarians. I always get the feeling I should like this album more than I do (it’s pretty weird thrash, which I generally love), so maybe this listen will reveal excellence?
