Bulldozing Bastard- Under the Ram

See... I told you I was back...

2015 is shaping up to be a better year for metal than 2014 and that's saying something.  Lots of great stuff slated to come out and some of it already out.  This album is already going to be in my top ten!  Let's take a look...

Bulldozing Bastard burst into my life with 2013's Bulldozing the Vatican a satanic mix of Venom and Warfare.  I really enjoyed it and blared it all the time to the neighbor's chagrin.  While I absolutely loved it, I could see it as being described as one dimensional.  It definitely did a few things very well.

When I got a hold of the new one I did not expect the monster I got.  From the burning "Queen of the NIght" to the melodic sledge hammer of "Once the Dust has Settled", this record burns a whole through reality like the proverbial "Brassknuckle Deathstrike".  It is a true combo of NWOBHM me;ody and power and punk rock nihilism.  It cleans your clock from start to finish.  One thing that makes this album so distinctive is the use melody throughout giving it a slightly more rock n roll sound.

This is a record to grab a few beers, a few friends and burn down your neighbors' houses to.  Its the perfect soundtrack for a Mad Max film.  Actually it was oddly timed, releasing it just before the new movie.  Serendipity or planning? You decide.

Great record from start to finish that I have listened to at least 10 times since I got it.  All headbangers should totally check this record out! Highlights:  Mayhem Without Mercy, Brassknuckle Deathstrike, Once the Dust has Settled.

Well, Spring has been nuts- (a confessional)

So, I want to start this post off by saying that, you, may faithful readers have made my day...

I went today to see how the old blog was doing after my INSANE Spring to find some of you had actually been checking up on the site occasionally... That's awful nice of you... :D

With that in mind, I decided I owed my audience an explanation and a schedule for upcoming reviews and a few other things I have planned for the upcoming months.

First, my Spring has been crazy.  As some of you may know or have figured out, this blog is not my job.  I have been in a weird place as far as employment goes.  So the good news of the Spring is in July I will be gainfully employed! That made me happy.

The bad news was my mother went into the hospital three time for three major operations.  She had a rough time and required my attention as often as I could give it.  Good news is now she is doing well and things seem like they are going back to normal... for now!

So all that to say I am back for, again, the foreseeable future.  I am going to start reviewing fairly underground releases again starting tonight! First up, Bulldozing Bastard and Deathhammer! After I will be talking about Obsequiae and Megiddo (the latter of which is going to be amazing judging by the samples... Hell, they're both going to be amazing!).

And finally I have some ideas for a few different posts I am going to be working on.  I may try to do some interviews.  If you're in a band and interested, drop me a line! And I will be posting some opinions about the state of "underground metal" (cue old man bitching!)

That's all for now, but watch this space!
