Just picked up the Candlemass ep, House of Doom on CD. Also pre-ordered the new The Skull album on vinyl.

How is the new Candlemass ep? I still need to get that one.

Phenomy - TWO (Amazing thrash metal from the middle east).

Added the new Overkill live set to my 2018 pile this week.

Enjoy, I know you love those dudes. I will grab that at some point, along with a few other 2018 releases I have passed on in favor of old stuff. I have actually bought a lot of vinyl (for me anyway) on the cheap this year. And quite a few cassettes too. Ha.

I just ordered Voracious Scourge - Our Demise. 2018 death metal featuring former Suffocation drummer Mike Smith.

10 2018 purchases so far:

Black Label Society - Grimmest Hits (bland and kinda dull)
Phil Campbell & the B*stard Sons - The Age of Absurdity (rockin', I like it)
Corrosion of Conformity - No Cross No Crown (disappointing, see BLS)
Freedom Hawk - Beast Remains (decently consistent)
Judas Priest - Firepower (Top 3 easily)
Monster Magnet - Mindf*cker (Top 3 easily, #1 so far)
Joe Perry - Sweetzerland Manifesto (biggest disappointment of the year by far, horrible album)
STP - Stone Temple Pilots (another Top 3 candidate)
VOJD - The Outer Ocean (rockin', I like it)
Walking Papers - WP2 (kinda mellow, but decent in the right mood)

Added:
Lizzy Borden - My Midnight Things (ok so far, need more spins)
Orange Goblin - The Wolf Bites Back (Bitchin'!!)

Added:
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Remaster Super Duper Deluxe 5 Disc Box Set (Yes, I did!)
Dee Snider - For the Love of Metal
Suicidal Tendencies - Get Your Fight On! ep

Tad Morose - Chapter X: great album.

Anybody picked it up yet?

Primal Fear: Apocalypse

Stormwitch: bound to the witch

Powerwolf: the sacrament of sin

The new Stormwitch is simply awesome. Buy it now. Much better than Season of the Witch

All on vinyl except Station and LeBrock.

UDO - Steelfactory.

- Manimal: purgatorio. This is an excellent album with lots of painkiller influences.

- Jack Starr's Burning Starr self titled album (re-released).

I had that CD show up on Saturday along with a few others. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. But the video I watched of one of the new songs sounded pretty awesome...

Did you get the chance to give it a spin? Awesome really. I am already at my fourth listen. The songs are fast and memorable. This will surely make my top 5 of 2018.

I picked up Crystal Tears - decadence deluxe. Excellent power metal from Greece, fronted by the former Danish singer of Artillery. Highly recommended.

Great album. But i have bought so many albums that i haven't given it its fair share of listening. Needs a fresh spin.

I have a couple of days off I will give it a proper listen. I have been hooked on listening to Judas Priest - Firepower lately, So I needed to give it a rest before I do.

Brainstorm - Midnight Ghost

What are your thoughts on this album? I haven't picked it up yet.

I've only listened to it once but it sounds good. It sounds like Brainstorm to me. Good stuff as expected.

Havent purchased a CD all year

Jack Starr's Burning Starr self titled album (re-released).

Great album really.

I think I've bought 1 actual CD. The rest are downloads.
