Excellent album. Saw her tour on this one too. Exceptional. Her voice reminds me of Karen Carpenter.

I’m a massive Ladytron fan and definitely know the DIJ version too. Pleased you liked it.

The Ladytron version of this is excellent too. Unexpected? Maybe?

Well we can only expect a collective of ppl who don’t know what they’re doing to consult w ppl who don’t know what they’re doing. It’d be disruptive if there was a semblance of cohesion applied. Consistently wrong reminds us that they are what we see them as.

I came here to suggest Day Of The Beast also.

Ha ha yeah. They nailed that one. I always appreciate bands that played up the fact they were a challenging listen.

Ha ha. Yeah. I didn’t have that luxury. But you lived to tell the tale. That’s what counts

I was so into #Venom as a twenty something. I don’t play these records so much now, but their significance will endure. Vale #Cronos #BlackMetal #LayDownYourSouls

Looks like today’s playlist is sorted. Kinda shocked he was 63. Both because it means he was 18 when Welcome To Hell came out, but also cos i thought he was more mature in years than that.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

WTF? Cronos. Wow. 63. Never would have guessed that. Bummer

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I can think of another Doakes line that’d be fun in the office

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Euros really love these guys.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

That’s a really clever insight. We’d all be better off in a world of thinkers.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It’s a cheaper practice than finding out in the studio that everyone is doing their own thing - and in a less than ideal manner. Great insight

Perfect expressions of the chaos and violence within which they lived.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Ha ha yeah. There were a lot of train wrecks. Guess it was about understanding the intention and giving it enough time. Hard with so many releases. The Parabellum stuff is killer. Happy accidents i guess - i don’t think bands try to sound like that.

Picked this up at our beloved $5 CD store. Haven’t heard it since it was released. Feat members of #Mudhoney #LubricatedGoat and #GasHuffer Love the old CD layouts. #TheMonkeywrench #SubPop

All fiercely unique and innovative bands. Nothing came close to the atmosphere of DDTM

Ha ha yeah, anointing your own music vs having someone do it on your behalf is never the same. Maybe this explains Guy’s basketball hoop shenanigans. Nothing emo about that.

Mystifier. Excellent. This was a bold album. Their triumph was Göetia to be sure, but Wicca is noteworthy too. I kinda wish they had a more bestial tone, but they’d lose that occult vibe i guess.

I suggested this in a roadrunner Australia catalog in 2007 ish. Probably pulled it from wilipedia. I was no authority on the subject.

Is the answer Rites of Spring?

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Ohhhh Angry died. How did i miss that?

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

One of my fave AU bands did a few records on #Waterftont If you’ve never heard #Nunbait it’s highly recommended Their EP The Hub was great too. youtu.be/fqnmco6hS7E?... youtu.be/wUumIUCu0s8?...

What i don’t know about doo-wop could fill a library, but their first record was packed w great songs and clever ideas. I kinda liked the throwback to Coven and Black Widow from the early 70s with the Black Mass and overt LaVeyanisms.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Ohhhh this is new. I really liked the first album, but flaked on the second. Will check this out for sure.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I thought this was a new Merzbow album.

Jason @jasonxhealey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Yesssss. I play this one a lot. It’s like a 7” it seems to reach the end of each side so fast.

Yeah i know TOTM zine. And this is one of my favorite metal recordings also. Really classic stuff. The FOAD pressing sounds killer. Shame they didn’t stay the course.

Repulsion and Slaughter (i assume you mean Strappado!!!) get a lot of airtime at my house too. Excellent

You’re on a hot streak today. Altars = best death metal record ever.

That Unleashed album rules.

Yeah. Those records were real cheap here in the late 80s. I remember finding the first Allniters LP for $3 appreciating there were Australian. Love to change gears mid thought.

000

I think some of the American bands from the 80s were kinda goofy, but the Jamaican and UK scenes that preceded it were magnificent. Not to say all of the US stuff was bad - just relatively speaking. The Untouchables, the Toasters were two sound examples. The Untouchables being in Repo Man was cool

Ha ha yeah. Behind the times. Vital Remains and Angel Corpse killing it in 1996.

Courtesy of the “who cares, we won” crowd. Maybe if more people held integrity in higher regard, there’d be less of this BS tolerated.

000

Oh yeah. That first album was killer. You’re right that they never got the attention they deserved. Death Metal wasn’t so fashionable then, tho there were some great albums at that time. Being on Listenable vs Osmose didn’t help.
