Oh damn I think Focus by Cynic is starting to hit for me. Heard plenty metal albums where they weld some other softer genre onto metal and it can be fun but the issue is usually that it still feels arbitrary to weld the two together but Focus feels like it has a certain verisimilitude between the death metal and jazz fusion that makes it much more compelling. It's too early to tell but I think this album might be ****ing cool as hell.

Alright I'm retracting my hot take on Mercenary being the best Bolt Thrower album cause Those Once Loyal really is just perfect and addictive. Every single song ****ing slaps and I want to do nothing but put every single song on repeat. And a Bolt Thrower album about WW1 is just what a Bolt Thrower album should be about.

A Bolt Thrower craze at the same time I was listening to Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon podcast on WW1 made for a perfect storm to become obsessed with Those Once Loyal, which is all about WW1, the perfect Bolt Thrower war.

At this exact moment, the song "Greatest Hits" by Sublime is playing in Winamp on my computer. My current playlist is way too large to post here 1,282 songs. Ive actually got 2,359 MP3s on my machine, but only about half of them are worth listening to on an ongoing basis.

Bolt Thrower is most of what I listen to these days. I think they're my favorite metal band now and not too far off from the Ramones maybe as my favorite band in general. They both hit similar buttons in my brain with high energy iterations on one simple, infectious, core sound that makes me just as happy putting the same album on repeat or marathoning multiple albums. They're just Batlord crack.

Yas queen. What say you on Demolition Hammer? Cause I've been really into Epidemic of Violence lately and while they're very different bands I feel that they have enough points of contact in common that Bolt Thrower fans should love them as well.

Snapcase's Progression Through Unlearning might just be a 10/10 album. Just a totally fire combo of metallic hardcore, post-hardcore, and actually good 90s alt metal. Every song is a banger and that drumming is wild.

Agreed, Snapcase is legendary. The best part about the drums on that album is that pingy snare sound, so dope and iconic.
