GLORIOR BELLI.

If you're gonna fuck around with "Troo" Black Metal, a solid choice woild be these guys. Icy cold riffage that stays pretty true to the genre interspersed with plenty of stark and sinister quiet(ish) parts to keep it interesting. These guys have never let me down, and while I used to listen to fuckloads of BM, I am super picky about who gets my ear-time these days.
Heavy - and EVIL...

SAVIOURS.

Way back in the day - well, it wasn't that long ago - my first post here at L-RV was the first SAVOIURS record. Finally, these Bay Area riff-dawgs ring in the new year w/ some solid new material. These guys are defintiely giving High On Fire a run for the money in the "pummel" department. Ah it's cool though - they're all bros...

I've got to thank Cheeto & X-Angel for sending me this, those cats have been there for me in this game, and seeing as how my HD is still down, I could use a little help - THANKS, BROTHERS.
I suggest you go check their site out if you haven't already as they always serve up a full plate of "heavy".

Have a great holiday season - I'm off to the Sierra Nevadas of Northern California to hang out in the snow and rage with the Yeti...

D/L Saviours - Into Abaddon right here.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT.

While this ain't my favorite lineup, this is still one of my all-time favorite S.F. / Nor-Cal thrash bands ever.
These guys should have gotten more respect, and I'd have to say all the offshoot bands that sprung from this core of musicians stands pretty tall in my book.

I hear ex-vocalist Andy Anderson works (behind-the-scenes) in the North Hollywood porn industry...

DYSTOPIA.

A good live set from Seattle recorded in 2002.

(Updates are still happening - I'm not gonna let the blog die - it just wont be as frequent as it once was.
Bear with me as I rebuild my music collection.

HARD DRIVE FAILURE SUCKS.

SHIPWRECK A.D.

Riff-heavy / heavy-riffed heavy hardcore - that makes sense, right?
All I know is that I like it, and if you are a regular here at L-RV then you pretty much know what I'm in to.

D/L Shipwreck A.D. - Abyss right here.



(I don't foresee my HD coming back to life any time soon; the holidays have put a serious lock-down on my spending right now so a new HD & file recovery will have to wait for awhile.
Still, I'm not gonna give this up - it's too much fun)...

Now playing: Trap Them - Day Sixteen: The Iconflict

Now playing: Hellchild - Soul of Purity

ULCERATE.

Seriuously precise and dynamic brutal technical death metal from New Zealand with more than it's fair share of grindcore thrown in.
This CD has been my soundtrack to my drive to work more days than not; gets the blood flowing better than coffee...

D/L Ulcerate - Of Fracture & Failure right here.

ROTTEN SOUND.

(While I still haven't recovered all my music files yet, I am pretty bored NOT blogging lately, so I went out of my way - I had to hang the Xmas lights today - a fresh new post here at the L-RV, hope you like it).

New Rotten Sound for you.
Due to be released in January of 2008, grab it while you can.

Rotten Sound will go down in infamy around the L-RV as the first band to be featured twice - something I swore I wouldn't do until I had to - but yeah, they're that good...
