heaven shall burn - deaf to our prayers

"antigone" was my first hsb record and really blew me away. i still love every tune of it, start to finish. through that album i also got into their pre-2004 stuff and (especially "whatever it may take") loved those too. so one can imagine how pumped i was when "deaf to our prayers" dropped in 2006.

the album wasn't such a banger like "antigone" to me. it felt like it fell a bit flat here and there. some amazing songs but some fillers also. i have to say it aged pretty well and i like it now better than then. therefore i am really happy to have this sick nesi media black splatter platter out of 300 copies. 2006/2018.

by the way, still have my original cd i bought upon release. comes with carborad slip case and additional dvd with a live set from the hell on earth tour 2005.

afterbirth - four dimensional flesh

i had a long way to go with afterbirth. been eyeing their stuff in the past because they are on unique leader records but never really got into them. that changed with their new album "four dimensional flesh".

i listened to the single " never ending teeth" and it finally clicked. their super proggy death metal approach with those uber guttural lyrics makes for a really unique listening experience. the mint marble vinyl is awesome, too. unique leader records. 2020.
