Best Albums of 2014

Image
So I'm sat here listening to  Thrashking Radio  and posting up my 2014 Best of  list. It seems like you get inundated by the the best albums every year. Hundreds of albums get released and of course, I can't listen to all of them. But of the ones that I did spin, these are the ones that were played on repeat and that had me walking to work playing air guitar and singing loudly... off key! See Ya right back here next year with more music! On Instagram squeeeeeeee On Facebook On Twitter 10. Slough Feg - Digital Resistance This is a fun romp thru 70s style Viking Pagan lore. It's a drinking and party album. Digital Resistance is something for gamers, RPG-ers and LARP-ers alike.  9. Rough Boys - Blood, Booze, Gasoline ZOMG I love this band. It's all attitude and moxie! This is punk done right.  8. Dwellers - Pagan Fruit An incredible trippy yet totally enveloping album that again harkens to the 70s prog, acid trip metal. You can bu

LSE - Break the Clasp (album)

Image
Zowie... you don't really know what to expect when Break The Clasp starts. Its' the debut album from Montreal band LAE . It's part spaghetti western part doom and totally engaging. The title song 'Break the Clasp' is haunting yet you find yourself singing along to it. LAE totally threw out the handbook on making a doom album. It's like they said, "fuck it, let's do something different". The song has so many interesting layers and the more deeply you delve, the more stuck in the molasses pit of music you find yourself. But the sound is so sweet you just keep digging. It's truly a song you get lost in. Clocking in at 7:28 it doesn't seem that long. Your sense of time and space gets warped.  Bassist Ronald Jean-Gilles , drummer Serge Nakauchi Pelletier , and guitar players Stephane Desgroseilliers and Marc Lucas Ablasou created an amazing album that has to be experienced to be believed. Break the Clasp is the perfect album for a winte

Laugh At The Fakes - Death Awaits (video)

"Death Awaits" by Laugh At The Fakes is a by the numbers head banging metal song. There is nothing new here, but the execution is solid. The guitar solos are in all the right places. The over all guitar sound is perfect metal. There is even a little bass ditty. Plenty to head bang to without getting all cerebral. Their debut album, Dethrone the Crown , was released on November 14

Rivers of Nihil - Mechanical Trees (video)

Rivers of Nihil - "Mechanical Trees" Definitely a headbanging cacophony of sounds. So much is happening in this song. It oozes frenetic energy. It's impossible to sit still and listen to this song. There are layers and layers of compositional flavours. "Mechanical Trees" is one of those songs you will listen to over and over again and discover something new with each listening. Rivers of Nihil didn't write a strait forward metal, thrash, wot-ever box you want to tic song. The individual elements are interesting and combined make a deeply complex and thoroughly engaging song.
