A mix of the good the bad and the ugly for me on this month's playlist:

01. Evile – “Incarcerated” (from “Hell Unleashed”, 2021)
4/5 It is surprising to see how often this album has featured in the playlists as the consensus seems to be that it is very ordinary. This is probably it's best track however.

02. Soulfly – “Seek ‘n’ Strike (from “ॐ”, 2002) [Submitted by Daniel]
2.5/5 I have never been able to take to Soulfly and this is no exception.

03. ZnöWhite – “Do Or Die” (from “All Hail To Thee” E.P., 1984) [Submitted by Daniel]
3/5 I really liked the music but those vocals are fucking horrible.

04. Body Count – “KKK Bitch” (from “Body Count”, 1992)
3.5/5 I like Ice T so muthafuck her dear old dad!

05. Prong – “Beg To Differ” (from “Beg To Differ”, 1990)
3/5 The only other Prong song I know is Cleansing. This is OK but sounds dated.

06. Vulture – “Star-Crossed City” (from “Dealin’ Death”, 2021)
4/5 Really enjoyed this speedy mutha.

07. Artillery – “Turn Up The Rage” (from “X”, 2021)
3.5/5 Pretty good speedy thrash from canadian veterans. Better than I expected.

08. Testament – “The Haunting” (from “The Legacy”, 1987)
5/5 classic bay area shit

09. Metallica – “Harvester Of Sorrow” (from “…And Justice For All”, 1988)
4.5/5 Brilliant. Listening to it now it seems to have elements of doom metal that I never really noticed before.

10. Slayer – “Skeletons Of Society” (from “Seasons In The Abyss”, 1990)
4.5/5 Slayer is as Slayer does.

11. Suicidal Tendencies – “I Feel Your Pain… & I Survive” (from “Join The Army”, 1987)
4/5 I was a huge fan of ST back inthe day. Not so much now but this still sounds terrific.

12. Gojira – “Born For One Thing” (from “Fortitude”, 2021)
4/5 I've never bothered with these guys but this is brilliant. Will check this album out.

13. Pantera – “I’m Broken” (from “Far Beyond Driven”, 1994) [Submitted by Daniel]
2.5/5 Don't know what it is about Pantera that rubs me up the wrong way but something does. I think it may be Anselmo's vocals.

14. Ritual Carnage – “Escape From The Light” (from “Every Nerve Alive”, 2000)
3.5/5 pretty good - another new one on me.

15. Helstar – “Pandemonium” (from “Glory Of Chaos”, 2010)
3.5/5 They obviously got better after 1989's Nosferatu which I really didn't like.

16. Striker – “Crossroads” (from “City Of Gold”, 2013)
3.5/5 More Maiden than Slayer

17. Flotsam & Jetsam – “Blood In The Water” (from “Blood In The Water”, 2021)
3.5/5 Decent - F&J were never really much more than that to me.

18. Anthrax – “Imitation Of Life” (from “Among The Living”, 1987) [Submitted by Sonny92]
5/5 Love this album. Love this song.

19. Vreid – “Shadows Of Aurora” (from “Wild North West”, 2021) [Submitted by Sonny92]
4/5 Anthrax-ish thrash from the unpredictable latest album from the BM stalwarts.

20. Kreator – “Under A Total Blackened Sky” (from “Enemy Of God”, 2005) [Submitted by Sonny92]
4/5 Kreator back in the thrash groove after struggling to adapt their sound for a few albums.

21. Hirax – “Flesh & Blood” (from “El Rostro de la Muerte”, 2009) [Submitted by Vinny]
3.5/5 Riotous stuff.

22. Feared – “Your Black Is My White” (from “Svart”, 2017) [Submitted by Vinny]
2/5 No. I didn't like this at all.

23. Cruel Force – “Victim Of Hellfire” (from “The Rise Of Satanic Might”, 2010)
4/5 I like the heads-down charge on this track.

24. Nekrofilth – “Crave The Grave” (from “Devil’s Breath”, 2013)
3/5 I much prefer Zack Rose's other band Crucified Mortals.

25. Cryptic Slaughter – “Wake Up” (from “Money Talks”, 1987)
3.5/5 Lots of HC influence - sounds musically a lot like Suicidal Tendencies S/T debut (which I love).

26. Scythelord – “Wireframe” (from “Earth Boiling Dystopia”, 2021)
3/5 Too much like some kind of HC death metal for my taste.

27. Sadus – “The Wake” (from “Swallowed In Black”, 1990)
4.5/5 I love this album's deaththrash mayhem.

28. Nekromantheon – “Zealot Reign” (from “Visions Of Trismegistos”, 2021)
4.5/5 Kick-ass track from one of the best thrash albums in years
