[@infernusrex796]

YAY, I live for your BM videos!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks for watching!

[@tobyfingland8149]

Thanks for the Malum recommendation, as always enjoyed the video

[@ExplosiveAction]

Killer band, enjoy!

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Simon!!! that's a lot of Black Metal for one video, but all great additions to the collection..... that Malum release looks very cool and the artwork too. cheers and be well

[@ExplosiveAction]

Can never have too much black metal

[@thunderhead7197]

Really enjoy your Podcast. Just stright to the point & honest reviews. Will be buying the new Spectral Wound & Perished Album..if i can find it. Keep up the great work.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks so much mate! Never thought of myself as a podcast but I guess it is.. with pictures!

[@MrLando0]

That Spectral Wound will be on my AOTY list for sure. You're right, it's very catchy, memorable stuff but still aggressive.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Top quality riffs

[@netram2000]

I call that new record "Stadium Black Metal"

[@ExplosiveAction]

@@netram2000 hmm, Behemoth is stadium black metal. Don't think this is as commercial. But I see what you're saying

[@rogerkjorvik]

Good stuff Simon. Just bought a couple of Maniac Butcher on vinyl, been on my list for a while. Love the enormous work they put into the cover art. Pure class. Nice to see good old Perished. Not been to impressed by Spectral Wound up till now, but have not heard the new one. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@ExplosiveAction]

Not sure if Spectral Wound will change your mind on the new album but it rules as far as I'm concerned. Yes Perished has been quite the find for me!

[@wheelsofmercury]

Yeeeeesssssss, glad to see Death Fortress in this collection update! I actually downloaded one of their albums when they used to be on Bandcamp, but stupidly I deleted it from my music library a few years ago; still kicking myself for doing that!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Ahh and I guess you can't get it back on bandcamp if the label is gone! Another point to physical media there haha.

[@wheelsofmercury]

@@ExplosiveAction Yup, true!

[@mendicantmedia]

haha Maniac Butcher will definitely be on my Bands Looking Evil video

[@ExplosiveAction]

Hahahaha! Key looking evil band! Don't forget Vondur's Galactic Rock and Roll Empire

[@mendicantmedia]

@@ExplosiveAction sadly I only own Striðsyfirlýsing which I'll show off (for the pure evil of having a photo of Grand Moff Tarkin) but the photos on that 2nd album are amazing

[@brainsmasher666]

Death Fortress are now Final Eclipse and are still great as ever. Maybe a bit blacker even.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Oh I had no idea!

[@mazeoftorment805]

The goofiness of the artwork aside manic butcher are a great band. Only have barbarians at the moment but i’ll get more eventually.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Yeah they are classic stuff.

[@manicyves]

oh i never get a chance to buy physical form of music, i hope i could buy one as soon as i get a stable job. Good collection by the way!!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers! Gotta start somewhere!

[@claytonbjork5687]

That Perished demo is all i own of that band as i reckon its their best effort...as for Monarque and Neige et Noirceur i love them both and have alot of stuff from both bands...i dont have that split tho!!....as for Spectral Wounds new album its up there with the best of the year..im not saying it beats Mutiilation, Merrimack,Ende,Seth,Tsatthoggua etc etc..but then again it might..its up there..its been a really good year with a heap of quality releases

[@ExplosiveAction]

I need to get that Tsatthogguah, completely surprised me how good it was

[@claytonbjork5687]

​@@ExplosiveActionyes surprised me too

[@spencergrady5501]

That Darkspace vibe always hits me (reference to that first split). You heard the new Paysage d'Hiver? By the way, is there an email I can catch you on. With my PR hat on, I have info about a new album I think you will be very interested in (you loved their demo).

[@ExplosiveAction]

Hey mate! Yeah the email is in the profile for this page, if the comments let me post this its diehard @ explosiveaction dot com

[@spencergrady5501]

@@ExplosiveAction That's great. Will send you a message end of the weekend / Monday. Speak then.

[@robotmechanicalwhizkid2521]

hi im a bit new to this channel although have watched a few videos here and there in the past, but not commented before. what turntable do you have? im looking to get back into vinyl still have my old collection and recently bought some new vinyl to listen to but i sold off my audio technica 120xusb turntable long time ago. do you have any recommendations when it comes to turntables?

[@ExplosiveAction]

Welcome aboard! I went vintage, running a Pioneer PL71 from 1979. It's paired with a modern Nagaoka MP110 cartridge and stylus. I wouldn't recommend vintage for a newcomer, but I would recommend the Nagaoka

[@robotmechanicalwhizkid2521]

@@ExplosiveAction thank you i will look into both.

[@CountFernandoPartridge]

Mate you’re brandishing a fresh stash of maniac butcher albums, you need a license to walk down the street now you’re a lethal weapon it’s too dangerous

[@ExplosiveAction]

Hahaha! I might cut myself on this level of kvlt

[@CountFernandoPartridge]

@@ExplosiveAction hahahah wait until that new Aethyrick album I spy goes on. Total worship!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Sneak peak, I've been spinning the promo for a few weeks - love it! Got the new split EP on the way too

[@Count_Deangeli]

hmm, probably listening to Spectral Wound on my phone doesn't help with the sound quality...😒

[@ExplosiveAction]

Black metal on phone speakers sounds like bees in a matchbox! Plug your headphones in
