S.O.D!!!!!!!!! I'm crying happy tears over here. One of the albums that defined my youth. So glad I joined this.

So, the April AOTM is Darkthrone's "Under a Funeral Moon". They're really starting to rack up the classics in extreme metal.

That’s cool!

FINALLY! One I don't own that was on my list of something I'd buy eventually.

Given a vote, I would have requested A Blaze in the Northern Sky, but still pumped this release.

My vote would actually be Transilvanian Hunger, as think that is their peak album. But I totally get this pick as it was such a huge leap forward in their sound (and for the entire metal genre at that)

Maybe they’ll release a Mayhem album

If they do, I hope it’s Grand Declarations or Ordo

For those interested in Hardcore

My choices would be Grand Declaration of War or Daemon. The former caught unnecessary hate but introduced a lot of really cool touches to the genre. It was ahead of its time. De Mysteriis is too easy and Live in Leipzig sounds too horrible.

Daemon was a staggeringly good album for these old guys, and selfishly I already own Grand Declaration and haven't gotten around to buying Daemon yet .

Just got an email for May’s album.
Exciter: Heavy Metal Maniac.
Going to listen first, but I might not sub for May.

 

[Whiteout75]

Exciter is a bit under the radar, but I it was fairly influental to the thrash scene of the mid-80s. Interesting from a historical point of view, but not really a great album.

 

[DMacanT]

My brother had this back in the day. I think it's a good album but am I Excited for Exciter? undecided

 

[Goatfish]

My first skip

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

I’m not sure when they added the skip feature in your account but I like it.

Interesting that they have decided to do the enamel pin as an add on this month. While I’m not a collector I liked it being part of the package, not willing to shell out for it though.

Was that in the email? While I don’t care either way, it was a cool touch.

Just went back and read that email. Initially discarded it. It’s cool that they’re trying to find a better way.
