Their first six albums are absolute ownage. Though I do also like the Dio stuff I've heard, particularly the song "Heaven and Hell".

Any Sabbath fans? I've recently started getting a lot more into them. Currents favs are the self-titled and Master of Reality. Epicness.

I love it. But then, I like all Metallica except for St. Anger. I'm hearing a lot of AJFA sounding stuff in it, which is always a good thing.

You do! Inferno is awesomeness in CD form.

Yeah, it leaked. Though I did finally find a hard copy. One of the top rock/metal albums of the year.

It surprisingly doesn't suck. It doesn't hold a candle to their first four, but it's an enjoyable listen. A LOOOOOOOOT better than St. Anger.

What are everyone's thoughts on the new self-titled Dismember album?

Anyone else heard it? It's an awesome album, definitely going to be picking it up when it comes out on Tuesday.

I cannot wait until next Wednesday. I have high hopes for season 12, what with the strength of the second half of season 11 (not knocking the first half, but the second half had Le Petit Tourette and the Imaginationland trilogy).

Everyone should check out "...For Victory". Probably my favorite BT album.

Favorite album has to be Sheik Yerbouti, godly album.

One of Britain's most consistent and enduring death metal bands, Coventry's Bolt Thrower has weathered the best and worst of times in the extreme genre's history without ever giving in to commercial temptations, or hardly even altering its sound. The fact that they were unusually blessed with a steady lineup throughout much of their career no doubt contributed to this stability, and though they were rarely bestowed wild praise for their efforts, with most of their competitors or contemporaries either adopting other styles or long retired, Bolt Thrower has gradually established itself as one of the best death metal bands ever to emerge from England.
Taking their name from a weapon in one of their favorite tabletop miniatures games, Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the duo soon drafted vocalist Alan West, guitarist Barry Thompson, and bassist Jo Bench (one of the first female musicians to take part in an extreme metal group of any sort). True to form given their name, Bolt Thrower would dedicate their whole career to analyzing and dissecting all aspects of human warfare -- its history, its weapons, etc. -- and they quickly took to the road in order to perfect a brutalizing musical onslaught worthy of backing up such morbid subject matter. Despite their material's general inaccessibility, legendary BBC Radio1 DJ John Peel became an early supporter, hosting the group for various early sessions (subsequently released in 1991 with the expected Peel Sessions title) and helping to bolster their profile on their way to securing a deal with the Vinyl Solutions label.

Mental Funeral has become one of my favorite albums, after initially finding it boring.

Autopsy was an influential death metal band, founded in 1987 in the United States by Chris Reifert after leaving Death.
Beginning their career with the Severed Survival LP, Autopsy took on a sound similar to that of Scream Bloody Gore era Death, but soon moved on to a doom metal influenced sound for the Retribution for the Dead EP. The next full-length, Mental Funeral, would expand on Autopsy's "death doom" style of metal, and was met with great critical acclaim. Having completed a successful European tour soon after Mental Funeral, the band reentered the studio to record the Fiend for Blood EP, which was followed by their third full-length, Acts of the Unspeakable. Autopsy's last album, 1994's ****fun, was heavily influenced by hardcore punk and would prepare fans for Abscess, Danny Coralles and Chris Reifert's project after Autopsy's demise in 1995.
Autopsy was featured in the 2005 music documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey when the films narrator and star read aloud a verse from the bands song "Charred Remains".
