Orchid - Capricorn (2011)
Yes. I am completely okay with any and all Sabbath worship. Just so happens this band does a sensationally good job at it. I think Doomantia said it best: "
... While other Sabbathians such as Witchcraft come across as sounding like 'camp-fire' doom-rock, Orchid are the total opposite."
If you like Black Sabbath a lot you will like this band. A lot. In fact the third track
Black Funeral literally sounds like a bizarro Sabbath song.
Camp Fire.

Truckfighters - Phi (2007)
I showed someone this band and they got really excited. Great fuzzed out rock from Sweden. Their album Gravity X is also worth noting and I probably would have got more cred points if I posted that one instead.

Someone mentioned this band today, so naturally all I've been listening to is this album. Here you go.

Immolation - Providence (2011)
New Immolation EP brought to you by Scion A/V oddly enough. Why Scion dabbles in death metal I have not a clue, but cool I guess, or whatever. It's being distributed for free tomorrow, but here it is a day early. I'm not going to describe the music because you know what Immolation sounds like.

Entrails - The Tomb Awaits (2011)
A beautiful and sensuous classical guitar intro leads into some seriously beefy death metal. I literally sat and thought about it for a few minutes, which word would I use to describe this sound? Beefy is what I came up with. An old school sound without sounding like they're playing tabs they got off the internet.
Here's a review from their Last.fm shoutbox:
"New album very old! thank you!!!!!"
BEEFY.

Ghost - Opus Eponymous (2010)
I've been listening to really shitty music lately, so I'll just post this instead for those that have somehow missed it. Evil Lucifer loving music from Sweden.

Integrity - Thee DestroyOrr (2011)
I'm gonna keep the clevo hardcore tip rolling. Maybe I'l post some OLC next (you fruits). I'm still awake for some reason, so here's Thee DestroyOrr. Rob Orr is an amazing guitarist and possibly my favorite to take the six-stringed helm in arguably one of my favorite hardcore bands of all time. This is a genuinely good compilation with some of the most creative guitar work Integrity has ever seen. This comp also includes a 34 minute interview for those that are interested in that sort of thing. For those that aren't, the songs rule!

Creepout - Tribe Called Hardcore (2010)
I'm going on vacation to a town I've never spent time in and will never spend time in again. That means I need to listen to Japanese One Life Crew really loud and torture the locals. Get waste. See you dorks later.
Fuck I wish I had an Indians hat/jersey.

Orange Goblin / Electric Wizard Split (1997) (EP)
Concluding the Orange Goblin posting spree we have the split they did with Electric Wizard. The first track, Electric Wizard's seventeen minute Chrono.Naut, is a two-parter kicking things off with some serious business riffing before sliding gently into its spacey conclusion. Orange Goblin follows with two tracks, the first being Nuclear Guru (a mediocre track I don't have feelings for either way), the second being a cover of Black Sabbath's Hand of Doom that's actually pretty awesome. Not a must-have release by any stretch, but still a solid listen.

Orange Goblin - Time Travelling Blues (1998)
Actually, I think this one has usurped Planet Ten as my second favorite Orange Goblin record, so I retract my previous statement. Plus this one starts with a motorcycle revving. SICK.

Orange Goblin - Frequencies From Planet Ten (1997)
Here's another one (my second favorite), if you liked the previously posted record. I'm not going to bother describing this album or this band because I'm tired and I'm lazy and I'm angry.
Second best.

Orange Goblin - The Big Black (2000)
Just trying to power through the rest of this stupid week so I can go on vacation this weekend. Arguably my favorite Orange Goblin record, this is definitely helping.
