This is another really good album imo, not so speed orientated and instead with more of a groovy, organic sound.

Godflesh - Pure

Always a firm favourite of mine 🙂
Chthonic - Defenders of Bu-Tik Palace

The godfathers of metal.

live in Paris (1970)

listened to this for extra energy while I went running/jogging today...this is perfect music for high intensity interval workouts

Some Priest to end the week.

Great lyrics : "Once I stuck my head above ground
I didn't like what was around
Crime, disease and poverty
All of this assaulting me
People shove as hard as they can
No one lends a helping hand
You could drop dead in the street
And they'd just laugh hysterically
"

This song has kind of a Black Sabbath vibe to it...Scott Weinrich has such a hauntingly somber vocal style.

I discovered this band a few weeks ago and I am kind of obsessed.
Melodic death metal is where it's at.

^ NICE! Belakor is such an underrated band. I first heard them about a year and a half ago. Most of their songs remind me of Amorphis's first album but more melodic.

Most definitely.
I love the cover art for Of Breath And Bone, too. I wish they'd put it on a shirt haha.

All their cover art is pretty good but my favorite is the cover of Stone's reach..Its a picture of an actual statue in Greece somewhere.( I think its Hercules holding Medusa's head but I'm not sure)

Be'lakor has some really uplifting songs btw. thanks for mentioning them, I haven't listened to them in a while. 🙂

Seriously?! That's badass! I need to travel to Greece now.
You're welcome- always happy to rekindle an old flame 🙂
On a side note, though...

I could listen to Husks forever ♡

Here's what it looks like in real life. its actually Perseus holding Medusa's head and its in Italy (not greece, like I thought) but yeah it makes for a pretty good album cover.

That's ****ing awesome!

I never really used to like Opeth, but they grew on me...hard.

I like a few Opeth songs...I like patterns in the Ivy part 1..it reminds me of the Resident Evil save room theme ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pZV3UPmXI4 )

Benighted is also one of my favorites (especially the part at 2:42)..in some of songs their lead singer's clean vocals sound kind of like David Gilmour.

^GREAT band....

Here's a young Zakk Wylde doing an acoustic version of one of Black Label's songs

He kind of sounds like Bob Seger in certain parts of this song
