Snowfall

been enjoying this after not having listened to it for a long time, and you know what? It's still the best thing Darkthrone have ever done.

Malfunction - Into Stranger Sphere

An obscure technical thrash treasure from '93. You really can't argue with the tunes or the production on here....enjoyable in an idiot-savant way. And isn't that why we enjoy so much of Dutch metal anyways?

Into Stranger Sphere

Cro Magnon - Zapp !

Sometimes you just gotta get your RIO skronin'-groove on. FUckin' loooooove this album....so come on, get Zapped!

Zapp !

Peter Evans Quintet - Ghosts

Been listening to this awesome jazz on a fairly regular basis since I found out about it. Swings hard with lots of skrees and skronks, bleeps and blops. Evans is a fairly young guy too. Hope to hear alot more from him and this quintet.

Pat Metheny - Zero Tolerance For Silence

I recently came across a band that I thought was called "Goatheny"; so naturally, visions of a black metal version of Pat Metheny came swirling into my head!! Unfortunately, the band turned out to be called Goathe"M"y and was not too good at all....this led me to remembering Zero Tolerance 4 Silence, quite the odd little gem in Mr. Metheny's discography. Zero Tolerance is a free jazz shred extravaganza...Pat breaking all his own rules and making a hideous wall of noise that will send even the most adventurous jazzheads running for their Charles Mingus records. Like a Black Legions rehearsal tape randomly spliced together with Brown Jenkins and Mick Barr's Orthrelm project...Kult as a heart-attak.

Zero Tolerance

Canvas Solaris - Irradiance

Boy these guys keep getting better and better.  This was one of my most anticipated albums of the year, and so far it has not disappointed in the slightest!  Beautiful cover art to ice this fucking cake.
