John Zorn - Six Litanies for Heliogabalus
White Suns - Totem

Again with the John Zorn? Does he qualify?

Twilight - III: Beneath Trident's Tomb

Based off of the film series and the band is made up of sparkly vampires.

Now you really are trying to torture me, aren't you?

The man has released over 500 albums, he's done more than one genre and metal happens to be one of them.

Just an idea: if you do a separate thread for The Torture Chamber, I give you my word I will not enter it. You can then discuss all you want to in there without my knowing. Suggested titles: "Keep the **** out Trollheart!" "Ways to Torture Trollheart musically" or "Batty's Torture Chamber: no Trollhearts allowed"

Hey, TH, I know you weren't a huge fan of Steadfast by Forefather, but is there any chance you could try out their newest album Curse of the Cwelled? -- Curse of the Cwelled | Forefather

Really? I thought I ended up liking it. Mind you, I'd have to check back.
But sure, I'll give it a go.

You seemed to like Steadfast somewhat in the sense that I figure you found the album solid, but seemed to complain about how there wasn't enough differentiation in the tracks, which was also a complaint for that Mondstille album I recommended.

That may have been how you saw it upon your first few listens and your opinion may have changed, and you forgot of how you initially perceived it possibly? To me the album is pretty diverse as far as a lot of Folk/Black/Pagan Metal goes, though I guess I could see how listening to an album just in that style from front to back could drag on for someone.

Either way, I feel pretty confident in Curse of the Cwelled, and while I tend to view Steadfast as a pretty diverse album, relative to that it's still staying in their defined genre, I figure Curse of the Cwelled is even maybe a little bit more diverse.

Also, if you haven't checked out Necrophagia's debut album called Season of the Dead, I highly recommend it as it's a somewhat obscured release, yet quite an important one for the Death Metal sub-genre (it was released before Death's Scream Bloody Gore.)

Maybe if you feel up to it, also review another album of theirs for Metal Month? (I feel there may be a rule against a band having two albums reviewed in a year, but I can't recall it for certain.) Necrophagia is fairly well known for focusing on horror-movie/occult themed lyrics and I feel like an album like WhiteWorm Cathedral, or Deathtrip 69 would go well as something for you to review around October.

No, there's no such rule. You can sugegst as many albums as you like. I can only however review so many, and it's only fair I don't concentrate on one person's selection to the detriment of those of others. I'll throw them on the list.

I haven't checked back on the Steadfast album yet, but I will.

Oh most definitely.

I'd just like to add that this is a torture chamber album since it's too noisy and formless for him to ever enjoy.
