The Music Thread Strikes Back

I have been sleeping on SZA; I cannot stop spinning her new record.

 
The Hootenanny was good viewing this year. CMat singing Living Without You was incredible

Will listen when I have got through several other 2024 playlists!
SPRINTS are ace. Surprised fat dog didn't make it onto your list.

I've only heard King of the slugs which is a worthy enough track even at 7mins long. Just ran out of time a bit this year and a few tracks I've picked up from others end of year lists. Usually add a few faves from a blog I joined and not done that yet either.

Saw Anja Huwe way back in 1984 when she was fronting Xmal Deutschland down at the Powerhouse.

I've not checked out her new material on Sacred Bones.

Her LP last year was released at the same time as a reissue of the first couple Xmal EPs. I think they reissued the Incubus Succubus EP too but all the tracks were on the compilation anyway.

Can't beat a bit of Zu Jung Zu Alt ... if you like that sort of stuff

 
Yeah, saw that Sacred Bones had reissued the early stuff. I'd already got those first time round.

I did really like the early Xmal stuff at the time, and do dip back into it occasionally when I'm on a nostalgia trip.

I remember seeing the Incubus EP in a record shop in Brum on sale for about £25 in the late 80s. Too much for me at the time though I did think about it. If you have one in good nick it's probably decent value even with the reissue coming out.

I never did German but I've been able to recite the gehemnis lyrics for 30+ years.
 
Metal albums turning 40 this year is even more scary

Iron Maiden - Powerslave and Live After Death
Megadeth - Killing is my Business
Anthrax - Spreading the Disease
Slayer - Hell Awaits (might have been late 1984 actually!)
Exodus - Bonded By Blood (one of my all-time favourite albums)
Venom - Possessed (I know they are in some ways a joke of a band but Black Metal and Welcome to Hell are seminal brilliant albums. Possessed was a load of bollocks by comparison)
Kreator - Endless Pain (I think Flag of Hate too. Pleasure to Kill was definitely 1986)
Helloween - Walls of Jericho (a brilliant, brilliant album that suffers from really average production. Somebody please re-master this amazing album I beg you)
Onslaught - Power From Hell
Dio - Sacred Heart
W.A.S.P. - The Last Command (I loved Wasp up to and including The Headless Children. Brilliant live too)
Motley Crue - Theater of Pain

Amazingly, all the good Saxon albums are MORE than 40 years old. Fucking hell

Fingathing have released their first album in about 20 years! Sounds very familiar yet a lot more wild than I was expecting. Worth a few listens, for sure.
