Dodheimsgard - Kronet Til Konge (1995)

This is still my favourite Black Metal album from the Second Wave that sprang forth from Norway in the early to mid-nineties. Its just so fucking epic!!! The vocals of Aldrahn embodies the conviction of a Satanic High Priest at some dark arse ritual while he guts some baby goats to appease some demon. And you've got good ol' Fenriz on bass of course. I wish I had this on vinyl but its a rare mutha fuckah in at least 3 different prints (saw one on eBay for 99 bucks US in red, its tempting). One can get the picture disc LP from Osmose Productions here. I did however get the CD years ago and I still cherish it and I just got a t shirt via the German distro ebay store, Fullmoon...so that's how obsessed I've been so far...

It should be noted that this is a very different band from even the following album Monumental Possession (1996) which has the awesome dude, Apollyon from the mighty Aura Noir joining the band at this point on guitar and some vocals. The band later became known more simply as DHG and after I heard 666 International (1999) they lost me...anyway the Kronet Til Konge lineup is the fucken bomb!!!

Nekromantheon - Rise, Vulcan Spectre (2012)

One of the albums of the year plain and simple!!! Destroying thrash which whips your shit well into shape. These lads are part of a ridiculously awesome thriving Norwegian Metal scene at the moment. The album before this one, Divinity of Death (2010) is also fucking sweet. I can't actually remember where I got this (England somewhere?) but one can purchase this fine LP from the Australian store The Coffins Slave online here.

Barbarian (Ita) - Barbarian (2011)

This is some fucken sweet old school Black Metal styles from Italy. The Italian metal scene is blistering with some shit-hot bands at the moment and Barbarian is a fucken King-hitter!!!

Big fan of Noia's long playah Necessary Extinction (2010), anyhoo I got the vinyl for Barbaridudes here from Doomentia Records.
