Inquisition - Black Mass For A Mass Grave, 2020 CD Album      Agonia Records - ARCD205 Among the mainstream black metal stars, Inquisition are my favorite by a large margin. But first things first: that 1990 excellent EP is not black metal, it is plain heavy & thrash metal, it sounds like a hidden Kreator demo trying to slow down and be more accessible in 1986. The 1993 demo is an amazing evolution on that front: full thrash-Kreator mode with a more technical approach, complex riffs and elaborated song structures. Killer! Especially if you are a fat refugee thrashosaurus from the 80s.  It is only on the first album from 1998 that Inquisition switched to the full black metal attack. From this release on, it has been a non-stop avalanche of Bathory emulation and morbid blackness. Fans of the second and third Bathory albums are living their wet dream here. Of course Inquisition are much more than a Bathory clone, the riffing style is truly mesmerizing and more advanced than Quorthon's, but you get the idea. If you dig straightforward yet hypnotic black metal where you can almost touch the darkness and taste the decay, this discography is extremely comforting. It provides this feeling of returning home. It balances the brilliant, fast, heavy with the sinister beautiful, haunting, mature and grandiose without the bs atmospheric diabetes and orchestral cancer. Inquisition tops the popular black metal sector of the Zeriverse as the super dense triplazering black star! Remove brackets and unzip: [forever rezer] !ZER Inquisition ZER!

Armored Saint - Punching The Sky, 2020 CD Album      Metal Blade Records - 3984-15728-2 Heavy metal greatness! They were the big new name in the early 80s. If it were not for the speed metal explosion and Metallica (who opened for them), Armored Saint could have hit the arenas of the world. But they were not harsh enough for the new thrash metal scene, too heavy for the lipstick of the expanding glam scene, and too late after Iron Maiden and Saxon. This does not reduce the quality of their output that has the style and greatness of the likes of Metal Church and Flotsam & Jetsam. In the 90s, their sound incorporated something of the Mind Over Four | Soundgarden approach. Upon their return in 2000, they released fantastic albums that mature that hybridization of metal and more radio-friendly rock, and I totally love it all. The new album Punching The Sky is a masterpiece of engaging and catchy darkness like its two or three predecessors. Armored Saint triplazering forever headbanging til you drop!

Graceless

Let us set that tone for 2021. Graceless provide the avalanche of metallic sludge that everyone needs in order to correctly appropriate the current state of the world. The first album focuses on the death, the second one focuses on the doom and both crush your masked skull under the ruins of the smoldering remains. Fans of Asphyx and Bolt Thrower can't afford to bypass this herd of bulldozers. A little more sophisticated than Coffins, a little less oppressive than Beast Of Revelation, entirely fucking awesome!

Yo. From the very depths of the 90s, and outfit I was a member of in their last year. This is where Porno Coma began.

Sentinel Beast

01. Sentinel Beast - Depths Of Death, 1986 CD Album Reissue      Marquee Records Ireland - MRI 001      Reissue from 2015 Whenever "80s female-fronted speed metal" is invoked, we all think about Acid, Znöwhite and Détente. Sentinel Beast deserve to be in this reference list as their only album delivers a killer rendition of the genre - heavy, dark, catchy, energetic and simply great. Good production and execution, great songs: we would have enjoyed at least two more albums. The Iron Maiden cover is a ripper, and the whole album is a classic for fans of early Nasty Savage and the aforementioned trio of cult acts. Thrash til zer!

Idolatria - Tetrabestiarchy, 2020 CD Album      Signal Rex - SIGNAL118 Fast and raw, vicious black metal is what the doctor ordered to crush that meat. Two short albums delivering dirty blasts of expert blackness will delight fans of sophisticated evil not without melodies here and there, although this has nothing to do with the polished sound of symphonic metal in robes. Killer triplazering black death for the ages! Remove brackets and unzip: [black metal matters] !ZER Idolatria ZER!
