OK, so I've got to be honest there was a number of tracks on this month's playlist that didn't really do it for me - Acid, Pantera, Five Finger Death Punch, Nervosa, Angelus Apatrida and DRAIN all failed to raise my pulse much. There were a few tracks I was unfamiliar with that piqued my interest however - Witchery, CoC, Warpath and Hypnosia, but most of all, Cryptosis from this year's Bionic Swarm which is an album I really need to check out.
Just a quick note on one of my own selections, SSS and 3:06 - as an ex-Liverpool FC season ticket holder this song has a lot of poignancy for me as it is about the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster where 96 LFC fans lost their lives at an FA Cup semi-final at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough, in a crush against the fencing that was erected around English football grounds back in those days. 3:06 is the time specified as the cut-off point for the enquiry into the disaster to investigate, even though many of the deceased died after that time. The government and police covered up their mishandling of this event for 30 years, blaming the fans for the deaths, even though it was the stewards and police directing people into the already packed pens and then opening the turnstiles to let even more in. Only recently have the families of the deceased received any justice with verdicts that their loved ones were unlawfully killed only being passed down quite recently.
To the 96 - You'll Never Walk Alone.
