Yes indeed, Naglfar were a hella good BM band in their earlier days.
"Beyond Unseen Gateways" by Ildaruni (Armenia, of all countries!) is one of the finest melodic black metal records I've heard last year, especially for fans of the more Greek-sounding style of the genre:

I've always been a fan of melodic death metal, so this has opened a whole new world of possibilities for me.

I'm purposefully pushing my own new video for those who'd like to see what I do nowadays. I've been working on new music for Adder's Fork, but also doing some covers for songs that mean a lot to me, like Oomph's Ice Coffin. The band turned REALLY bad after 1996, but started out as a quite fantastic 90s heavy band with electronics and were also the precursor to Rammstein in many ways.
Enjoy, if you like!
Today is a day that I just feel like listening to Ronnie James Dio. I am so eternally grateful that I was able to see him perform live before he passed. Dude was a literal elf, but had such a powerful voice that made him sound like a giant. His is one of the few celebrity deaths that actually made me sad.
Also hot take. Dio Sabbath was better than Ozzy Sabbath.

Not a hot take for me at least.
Hell, my favourite Black Sabbath album is either Mob Rules or Dehumanizer. Can't decide. Never could. Heaven and Hell is a veeeeeeeery close 3rd place.
...and yeah, Ronnie's death was also one of the very few ones in my life that hit hard. So did Mike Howe's suicide last year.

I will eternally be grateful to my sister for randomly buying me Heaven & Hell when I was just getting into metal. Neither of us had no idea anyone other than Ozzy had fronted Sabbath. The Dio albums were so different from the Ozzy ones, and I fell in love with them.

Not really a hot take
Want a hot take?
Ozzy Sabbath has better and more memorable songs but Tony Martin is a better singer than Ozzy.

I agree with that so much but then again, Ozzy Sabbath, Dio Sabbath, Martin Sabbath, all good as far as I'm aware. Though that said, it was only the other day where I finally listened through Born Again and it's not too bad.
Now I just need to listen to Seventh Star.

They all have their fair share of good music though Martin kinda gets the raw end of it considering they literally had Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio singing for them before him and those are two people that are hard to live up to in terms of being a singer for a band.
Though that said, it was only the other day where I finally listened through Born Again and it's not too bad.
I still can't get into Born Again though. I don't know what it is but the production just doesn't sound good to me and Ian Gillan's singing doesn't mesh with the music for me.
Now I just need to listen to Seventh Star.
I actually unironically love Seventh Star. Though I also like sort of "safe" 80s hard rock music which honestly is what the album boils down to. Though Glenn Hughes is a great singer and he really elevates the entire album with his vocals seeing as it would be a pretty boring album without him.

Avenged sevenfold!! Such nostalgia and such melodic guitar cords drums and, EVERYTHING!
This post makes me happy too haha. It's just like 16 years ago when I found this thread. Damn that's a long time.
I was having the "what's the best Black Sabbath album" conversation recently and we only talked about Ozzy's stuff. I have to say I'm more into the first 6 albums than anything else in the discography. I just haven't given the other stuff a real chance I guess.
I was saying that I liked Sabbath Bloody Sabbath the best, which is pretty much my answer to the question if I had to choose. He was saying that it's definitely not the best and "even Tony didn't like it that much", and that Sabotage is better, with Vol. 4 being the best Black Sabbath album.
I like Vol. 4 but the production lets it down for me to be completely honest. He then said "Get the new remastered vinyl version, it sounds heaps better." Checkmate.
And that was that. I say Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and he says Vol. 4 but who can really pick when there's like 20 now.

You know who really needs to make new music? Melechesh. Their last album in 2015 still rules.

Absolutely! The Epigenesis is one of my all-time favourite metal albums and I have such a biased love towards it!

After two and a half years, I finally was able to see a concert last night with Judas Priest and Queensryche. Originally, this concert was supposed to be Judas Priest and Sabaton back in the summer. But, the lead guitarist for Priest's heart exploded and the tour was delayed. By the time it got rescheduled, Sabaton was already doing their own tour. So...Queensryche it was. Despite having seen Queensryche three times now, they're usually not my jam (I always see them incidentally, like they open for someone or something) but I was so happy to be back to live music, I was super happy. That said, I would have much rather preferred Sabaton.
The first time I saw Judas Priest back in 2015, it was incredibly disappointing. Halford couldn't hit the high notes and didn't sing any of the choruses to any song. Basically, all I wanted from this show was for Halford to sing all of Painkiller and hit the high notes in the chorus. Thankfully, he did and it completely made my night. His voice while not what it used to be was far stronger than it was in 2015, so that was good.
It was weird to be back at a concert, especially an arena show. But I was super happy I was there.

He told me during a NYC Summer Slaughter tour date in 2009 that the third album was meant to be some kind of concept album, then all of a sudden the band just disappeared and I never saw them again. I will distance myself from all of the rumors in the air because I've heard them all too.
I can only hope that a comeback eventually happens and things get back in order. Music is a tough business, and death metal especially is not profitable. Other things in life are forced to take precedence.

I listened to several of their songs and have largely positive impressions. Too bad it looks like I won't be able to see them unless they reform and tour, likely as an opener for a bigger band.
