Some really nice, raw-sounding shit this month Vinny, especially the first tree tracks and, of course, Darkthrone's glorious closer. Others that caught my ear were Epidemic, Droid, Diabolic Night, Torture and Legion of the Damned. Honourable mentions go to Malokarpatan, Thrashback and Witchaven. Suicidal Tendencies was really the only one I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for - I have always preferred the hardcore punk of their debut to any of their metal offerings. Nice list again Vinny, thanks mate!

Suicidal Tendencies was really the only one I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for - I have always preferred the hardcore punk of their debut to any of their metal offerings.

I have to admit that I've struggled with my revisits to Suicidal Tendencies' 1987-1990 metal albums this year with "Lights Camera Revolution" being the only one I can tolerate these days & even then I don't genuinely "love" it. "Disco's Out, Murder's In" is one of the rare tracks that I really dig though as it's thrashy & energetic as fuck.
