What's up bro, excellent delivery, very good material, thank you! Shores of Evening surprised me, I had never heard it before, it is very good, there is so much strength in that music, but without so much noise, it is one of those things that can tear the rock apart with a slap, without the need of the war hammer. Ah!, and Dark Quarterer, my God, amazing! You might like an album called Dealers of Divinity by White Magician, great stuff bro!
Good to hear from you! I'll have to check out White Magician, I've never even heard of them before. Yeah though, Shores of Evening really isn't that bad, is it? It's certainly not a great METAL record, but it has its own charms, and it's nowhere near as weak and wimpy as I expected it to be, hahaha.
Thanks for the video 👌👌👍 Once my mate came over in his car to pick me and another friend up, and he was playing sabbat, my friend whos not really into metal commented "why does this sound like im being told off by an angry uncle" 😆 Really want a copy of Hobbs Angel of Death, been on my want list for far too long! The only thing i have found on Banzai in the UK is Détente - Recognise No authority, great album. Hopefully I will find some more stuff om banzai in the future. Got that Onslaught as a reissue only at the moment, if i see an original in the wild i would definitely pick it up congrats on yours! There was a unofficial release of that self titled rigor mortis in recent years, I was really pleased to find a copy online, great sound too. Apparently Rigor Mortis used to tease the Pantera guys. There is a documentary on Rigor Mortis that you've now reminded me i need to watch. A recent discovery of UK thrash for me was was Seventh Angel, i liked the first studio album(1990) but the 2nd isnt thrash really. Album art for both wouldn't make you think thrash either as its same artist who did Diamond head, praying mantis and Nazareth album covers. Worth checking out though. Cheers
Oh yeah man, Seventh Angel is really good! I have those relatively-recent reissues myself, I haven't come across originals. A friend of mine locally just put me on to the connection between Rigor Mortis and Ministry... that surprised me a bit, haha!
”You know, I kinda like shit” made me howl. I knew you like ’shit’, but it was the delivery hah. Shores of Evening: The Shore Of Evening is now on my wantlist. Never have properly checked out Sabbat. I think that Hobbs Angel Of Death artwork is awesome.
That Hobbs art work really is pretty awesome, but I didn't even look closely enough to realize it till after the fact. Oh well, we all make mistakes in our youth.....
Love the Onslaught album. I've got the Pussmore edition with the bit of color in the artwork. My other Onslaught album is the one where the record company forced them to use Grim Reaper's Steve Grimmett for the lead vocals. HUGE style change.
Believe it or not, I've never heard that third Onslaught album. Back when it came out, I wasn't interested in it because I thought Steve was crap with Grim Reaper; and ever since I came around on Grim Reaper, I haven't been all that interested in hearing Steve with a completely different band. Maybe someday....
@@MetalTheologian It's actually an excellent album, and you don't have to pay a lot for it. I would highly recommend buying it whenever you see it. Total style change into power metal.
Ha! Great response video. I dig the Morbid Saint - Eddie knock off character. Noticed they actually released a new album this year. Was talking to someone a few nights ago who was jamming with Hobbs before the Angel of Death band. Sort of blew my mind. Haha!
Man, I half expected my comment section here to be full of people telling me about newer/reunion albums by all these bands: Not just Morbid Saint, but also Infernal Majesty, Hobbs, even Onslaught. I haven't heard any of those, hahaha.
@@southportrocker I don't even know if they're active now, but I remember they had at least one reunion album in the 90s...... I _think_ I remember hearing someone say it was good, but I have no idea, hahaha. I'm a shitty fan.......
The debut of Rigor Mortis is kickers killer. Bought it when it first dropped in the late 80s based on the cover and fell hook, line and sinker. Absofuckinglutely the badass raddest Metal band to roll out of Texas. They used to make fun of Pantera. Death Thrash at it's best! HORROR METAL most Def. RIP Bruce Corbin & Mike Scaccia. If you have ever had the pleasure of seeing them live, you'll get the hype. Scaccia was a rabid maniac on guitar , fast as fuck. I'd put it up against Slayer's Reign In Blood as it's equal. 🤘
I read this and immediately had to go and put the record on again! This thing really is good..... I'm glad I got over my old hangups and snagged a copy!
Ha! C'mon man, I kinda like shitty records though! Actually, it's extra satisfying to play bad ones during videos because I know the audience knows damn well I have lots of good ones sitting here, too. Everyone knows it's a deliberate choice.
Oh man. Was working in the crusher room when this dropped. Rushed like hell. So honored, man. Made me laugh pretty hard. You did a better job than I did explaining the majesty of these slabs.
Ha! Well, you did a really nice job articulating your perspective/experience with these records, so much so that I almost didn't do this video, because I didn't think I'd be able to give it that personal touch, seeing how I've snoozed on about half of these until pretty recently. Besides, if your video hadn't ruled, I wouldn't have bothered!
Coming from England and being around during the start of Thrash Metal Onslaught - Power From Hell was a great gnarly Thrash Metal album. For me Sabbat were the best British Thrash Metal band. Acid Reign, Xentrix, D.A.M, Lawnmower Deth, Slammer, Anihilated, Virus, Arbitrater and Onslaught were all good Thrash Metal bands.
Y'know, you actually named a couple there that put me off of it: Acid Reign and especially Lawnmower Deth were just too goofy for me, it soured me on the scene. But I've been an Onslaught band forever, and i've finally come around on Sabbat, so we'll see..... there was a time when I wasn't really into German thrash too, believe it or not!
Good morning Aaron. While I was watching this one I Googled metal albums with skulls on the cover. There were hundreds of them. I only have one of the albums that you showed. But I now have quite a few to check out. Some of them I have listened to before. Now are bands like Rigor Mortis and Grim Reaper still around? Well done brother. Your collection shines once again~ Rob/Boston
Hahaha! Oh yeah man, if you're hunting for metal, you've got to be more specific than just "skulls".... there are tons! I can't take credit on these picks, they came directly from Chromie D... but I thought they were interesting ones because I don't know them as well as my own go-to thrash albums. And I figure it's healthy to challenge yourself a bit, right? Always good to hear from you!
Does an opener on a table with all my booze that’s right next to my kallax count😝🤘🤘wish I had a Rigor OG but I found a fan club unofficial a couple of years ago
Dude, I actually found that Rigor Mortis on ebay just a few years ago. It was sealed, and about $15 (US) postpaid. It reminded me that once in a long while, you can still find a deal on there....
Hi Aaron! The new Chromie D episode was a blast. Loved it. Top records mate, I'm into all these apart from the one you were playing, never heard it before so cheers. Infernal Majesty and Rigor Mortis are prob my favs outta the Thrash bunch here. Nice one mate!
.... and that's exactly *why* I was playing that particular record, hahaha! Yeah man, some good titles in Chromie's list, and they're ones I've spent less time with than they deserve. I love that there are still bands of this caliber out there for me to get into, though! Someone else here mentioned Holy Terror, that's another band I just got into within the last 10 years or so.....
@@MetalTheologian I was late to the Holy Terror fun bus too mate. I ignored them when younger, I call false advertising on their logo haha! I've been listening to them again recently actually and just mentioned them on a new vid.
One of my little linguistic pet peeves is when people refer to things that are famous or well-known as "infamous". Hopefully, you know me well enough that you at least were prepared for me to be using the word correctly! Incidentally, if you can think of a metal record from that era with a worse reputation, I'd be curious to hear it.....
As bad as Shores of Evening may be to some, they're exactly why I blow so much money on records. I would love to find this in the wild. A really interesting record.
Yeah man, exactly! And especially in a case like this, where everyone seems to hate it... it almost becomes a challenge to find something redeeming in it! hahaha
I remember being a teenager in the 80s and upon hearing that Onslaught album I thought it was so evil. The Sabbat lp is incredible, and Pagan influenced. Andy Sneap is now a big name producer.
Yeah man, I probably need a couple more listens to fully assimilate that Sabbat, but I'm all in on Onslaught! And I like their second album a lot too, but that one isn't special and unique the way Power from Hell is..... this one just has that special something about it, haha!
Onslaught was indeed a punk band before going full-on thrash. The punk shit RULES. They never released a proper record, only demos. It’s really simplistic metal-tinged UK82. I only really fuck with the demos and Power From Hell. Also, Infernal Majesty - absolutely ACE. Perfect record, artwork and all.
I kinda feel the same way about the early punk stuff as I do the metal records after the first one: Power from Hell is perfect in its own way, and I'm afraid to spoil it! I'll have to hear that shit one of these days though... I _am_ curious!
Haha, I know exactly what you mean about the Dark Quarterer. I really like the album, but the singer has a very theatrical delivery. I almost feel like he's doing jazz hands as he's singing...
I can totally get what you're saying about the two Dark Quarterer albums, but I just love 'em both. I think the key to getting into this band is watching beforehand the two videos (you'll know them when you find them) shot by their "manager"\"soundman" in what looks like and just has to be an abandoned Mussolini era bunker, with the guy's wife and little daughter just sitting there looking really petrified or confused. The "Gates of hell" video is one of the most epic yet cringy videos on UA-cam, and by the time you finish watching it, you'll know if this band is for you or not.
Man, on points, Dark Quarterer is right up my alley, but it just doesn't speak to me like some of the other Italian bands.... but I'm gonna keep at it till I get it, hahaha!
Someone did a writeup on Shores of Evening in the Discogs comments explaining a bit about it, but you may want to stay away if you prefer the mystery. I wouldn't order the record but if it was right in front of me I would probably buy it, haha. I was hoping you would address The Winger Paradox, maybe next time. Cheers Aaron!
Well, I couldn't resist: I did go and read the write-up, and it doesn't spoil the record for me, I'm happy to report. One thing though: The writer there says they were in art school in Atlanta, but the address on the record is Hauppauge, New York.........
It upsets me to see the mighty Sabbat in the company of such random bric-a-brac. That Hobbs cover looks like Pablo Escobar smouldering in futility at his private estate being turned into a theme park.
Honestly, I had to look up his name... it rang a faint bell, but I couldn't have told you anything about him. I'm relatively new to Sabbat, and I don't much care about producers!
Well, Shores of Evening was at least entertaining. You can’t say that they didn’t try to at least throw a few curveballs at their listeners. Nice thrash/speed/ picks. I think I’d throw one or the other of the Holy Terror records in with that group, also. You and your buddy might be more right than you know when it comes to Mr. Bowcott. If you search his name on UA-cam, you’ll find that he’s a real big fan of…Pantera. Later
Oof, Pantera...... well, in my experience, musicians tend to have shitty taste in music, and that tidbit does nothing to change my mind! hahaha. Holy Terror is really good, that's another band I came late to, but regarding the list, I was just going with Chromie D's picks anyway: I thought the picks were interesting precisely _because_ they weren't the ones I would have picked. Good to hear from you!
That first Dark Quarterer is exactly what I want from Italian metal, it sounds like it was composed and recorded in the basement of a decrepit mountain castle. That magic disappeared afterward, never to return. Grimmett singing for Onslaught was such a complete waste of an incredible metal voice, anyone could have shouted their way through the 4th-tier thrash on that 3rd album. Nothing about the word 'evening' could have anything to do with metal, wait an hour until you get 'night', 'darkness' and 'the black' etc. SOE was fine for what they were trying to do, which clearly just wasn't metal. My all-time metal cover art vs music letdown is SMITHWORKS--Covered In Blood, go check that one out. Epic hero cover and the music sounds to me like a milquetoast Christian rock band decided metal was getting big so they would go in and record a cash-in metal album. It's bizarrely bad music and still fetches a pretty penny based strictly on the unfulfilled promise of the artwork.
Oh shit man, I appreciate the opinion on Smithworks... it doesn't have the best reputation, and it _is_ Jesus metal, so I know to keep my expectations nice and low, but I didn't think it was as bad as you're making it sound. I'll be sure not to spend too much when the time comes, hahaha! Now regarding Dark Quarterer, you're articulating exactly why that fuckin' record eats at me: On points, it's 100% up my alley. They even have the goofy-looking bald guy with the glasses and mustache that seems to turn up in all great Italian bands. But somehow, it doesn't quite speak to me the way some of the Italians do. Fuck it though, I'll keep at it and finally crack that nut one of these days!
Yeah, it's a Century Media one that was easy to get when I bought it, about 8 years ago. All the others are originals except, depending on how you look at it, the Ulysses Siren.
Yeah man that Shores of Evening sounds pretty bad...lol...man I ordered that Crysys record and I freaking love it..thanks again for another great recommendation!! I want to find that Onslaught too..great video

Is that Morbid Saint a reissue?
Yeah, it's a Century Media one that was easy to get when I bought it, about 8 years ago. All the others are originals except, depending on how you look at it, the Ulysses Siren.
Yeah man that Shores of Evening sounds pretty bad...lol...man I ordered that Crysys record and I freaking love it..thanks again for another great recommendation!! I want to find that Onslaught too..great video
@@cameroneasterlin7882 Hahaha! I warned you that it was gonna be pretty bad! But I think it has its charm.... Glad to hear you scored Crysys though, given that that one is legitimately good! Hahaha
Mortal Sin > Hobbs AOD
Oh man.... I don't think I could pick one over the other, hahaha.
