@Antonio - I had to check out that Foreign Objects track, given the other two bands you posted. I love that Acid Bath record and Electric Wizard are one of my absolute favourite bands. It sounds like it might be something I could get into. I looked them up and ill grab that 2 disc collection at some point i think.

@Alfred - i've been meaning to check out Genghis Tron for some time now. They seem to be forever touring and playing the same venue here frequently. Where would suggest i start? How many records do they have?

@ Hank - Absolutely nothing wrong with EyeHateGod, Sleep and Melvins! I've never heard Dystopia though. What are they like? And also yes, i think there should be a number of metal sub-genres that have their own weel at some point down the line. I wouldnt let this week get bogged down in sub-genre debate though. If its heavy metal, it qualifies as far as im concerned.

@ Gavin - very nice, informative write-up. Thanks! I dont know what it is about Blue Cheer though, they just never did it for me. I should give them another go at some point.

@Anteater - I remember you talking about Strangeways recently. I gave that a listen and it's not something i feel i would listen to i'm afraid but i'm also sure that i could find a lot of stuff from that genre thats worse than that! I'm also not a Leppard fan. However Devin Townsend, i really need to make more of an effort. I really do like what i have heard when i have heard tracks here and there but the only album i own is Ziltoid. In your opinion, what should i be getting next?

@Jackhammer - that Rods track is fantastic! Terrible name for a band but i think i could get right into this. And Tank, i remember you have mentioned these before. I'm starting to think i downloaded some of their stuff now, i'll have to check. If i did, they are on an old hard drive. There is certainly a whiff of Motorhead in there but that doesnt matter, Motorhead were never the most original band themselves were they? It still sounds good. Plus they are local lads, i should get on this.
