Great collection update, love OG presses! or at least seeing them. I only have a few but love that old school look from the hay day is killer... I also love that Stormkeep T shirt.. just listened to that album on the way to work yesterday. Awesome video Simon.

‘Terrible Certainty’ was my introduction to ‘Kreator’… so I have a lot of time for it! Is it as good as ‘EA’… no, but it’s a close one!! That clip of ‘ND’ from British TV was the first time I ever saw & heard them & I was forever fascinated! Good to see you Simon!🤘🏻

Cheers mate! That would have been wild seeing Dave Lister introduce Napalm Death lol. And then get Bill and Jeff Walker in an episode of Red Dwarf soon after? Madness!

Great scores Simon. Terrible Certainty is my 2nd favourite Kreator album behind Extreme Aggression. I've got exactly that copy. Totally agree with your summary of the album, 50% Pleasure to Kill & 50% Extreme Aggression. I'll have to check out ADX. Sounds interesting. Never heard on Mandator. Love Napalm Death. 🤘 Love those Synthese band photos 😳😂🤣😆🤙 Cutty Sark....some sublime artwork there. I've been trying to find the 2nd & 3rd Grinder album. Totally want those first 2 Scanner albums.

All Watch tower material is a must in any thrash metal lovers collection. Very important band as they were the first technical thrash metal band. If you like complex music with intricate riffing a lot of odd time signatures and acrobatic solos them you'll love it.

Its shit like this that makes you one of my favorite VC guys. Whats with the eternal Godfather sound loop in the background, hahaha. Anyway, fantastic stuff man! Classics like Kreator and Napalm Death, and some cool surprises in here like Mandator, who though an Aussir man would own a Dutch, ugly ass record like that. That Bulldozer record rips! My local record store has an OG laying around for around 60 euros (if it isn't already gone).

All kinds of cool stuff there Simon! GRINDER is a band I've never heard. Used to see their stuff on sale lists often but never picked any up. They seem to have avoided appearing on every compilation album too. Am checking out that Synthese- that's a totally new one on me. I think I had a different Cutty Sark album ages ago. I know Ken has shown that one from the non-death metal section of his crypt :) Thanks too for the Heavy Metallurgy shout-out; glad you enjoyed the show!

Hello there, I seen a comment on a video from you recently and I forgot where. You were struggling to find a copy of Fulci Tropical Sun on vinyl. I noticed they've done a 5th press on Bandcamp but it's low numbers so you'll have to move quickly. I got one ordered as I've only just clicked with it.
