Is it fair to assume that 80s' Megadeth is the best possible band Thrash metal could have had? Because the more I listened to Thrash, the more I fell in love with 80s' Megadeth.
Megadeth were primed to be the top dogs, then Gar left.

New EP Inconsolable (free of course, as always).Starting in April, we will be releasing an EP every month leading up to the release of our next full length Magus on Sacred Bones.
Traditionally, we release an EP of overage songs, or what's essentially b-sides, as we release a new full length. With the impending release of our fifth full length Magus, we have decided to take a different approach and release three EPs ahead of the full length, all of which are all a complete sonic departure from the album and from each other. Hopefully, this will encourage folks to give these shorter artistically-experimental records a good listen.
The first of these EPs is an ambient/noise, Supplicate-engineered, droned-out, The Body-worshipping, knuckle-dragger called The House Primordial and has been released in its physical form as of May 29, 2018 on Raw Sugar Records. (If you order a copy from Brice, we strongly encourage you to grab the Special Interest LP as well!) The House Primordial is currently streaming on our bandcamp and available for download.
The second EP is a collection of bleak, acoustic and quieter songs called Inconsolable and is now available for preorder from Community Records. We will begin streaming this record on our bandcamp on June 1, and the physical release will be available on June 29.
The final EP is a melodic grunge, Alice in Chains homage called Rhea Sylvia, and includes Thou versions of Matthew Thudium's solo works. It is now available for preorder from Deathwish Inc. with the physical and digital release available on July 27.
Gilead Media will be collecting all three EPs on a compact disc called Ceremonies of Consolidation to be released in August.
Finally, the actual full length record Magus is set for release on August 31 on Sacred Bones. You can preorder the record here. We will have a stream and, hopefully, some other surprises on the way ahead of its release.

Song of the Day
A very interesting song from symphonic metalers Therion's best, imho, album, Vovin with Ralph Scheepers singing.
Lepaca Kliffoth is probably my 2nd favourite Therion album after Theli. Really underrated album, it's solid all the way through.riders of theli is there best for me, people hate the shit out of the lepaca kliffoth album but its there best album
After listening to N.F.L. ten times in a row, It's easily my favorite Anthrax song now.
Raining sucks, but what if it's... *cough* raining blood?At the Slayer show at the PNC. Slayer is going on in an hour. It's probably going to rain. Fuck rain!
Sun and Steel >>>> Quest For Fire
Hard to pick out my favorite Maiden song, but I can easily say that Can I Play With Madness is the WORST Iron Maiden song.
Yep it's certainly a hundred times better than Sun and Steel, which is the ONLY song from the first 7 albums that I actually skip...
I said weakest on the album, not terrible. Hell yeah I'd sing along with it.

Every song in their first album. I don't care much about their other albums but Iron Maiden is such a magnificent record.Favorite Iron Maiden song?

First 6 Sabbath albums are perfection.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath & Sabotage being my top favorites.
As much as I love Dio and hate Ozzy, I much prefer pre-Dio Sabbath. Tony Martin is basically the Ron McGovney of Black Sabbath.
The cycle of most metalheads is that at first they don't get how awesome early Sabbath is, and the more they dig into Metal, the more they understand. Personally, I've nearly burnt out of listening to Metal, and apart from Sabbath and handful of other bands, I cannot listen to much Metal anymore. Everything I love about Metal is apparent in the Ozzy-era Sabbath.
