Cool collection James! Good to see Kataklysm and King Diamond!

Thanks, Tony!

Nice mate, I love King Diamond. Cool stuff as always James.

[@stormwind_7996]

Thanks a lot, Gordon! I also like KING DIAMOND, even though I didn't get into this particular album much. MERCYFUL FATE is legendary, though! Thanks for watching!

sick collection dude

[@stormwind_7996]

Cheers, man! Thanks for watching!

Hi James!! well done and cool to see more stuff from your Cd coillection.... I have heard about Kataklysm before, but not listen to their music, it's interesting how you described their music so it might be a good entry to death metal. Learned to appreciate King Diamond's music and voice, now ineed to add his stuff and Merciful Fate too. cheers and be well

[@stormwind_7996]

Thanks, Cristian! Yes, KATAKLYSM is a catchy and groovy way to ease into death metal for beginners without compromising on brutality and heaviness...great band! Yes, King Diamond and MERCYFUL FATE are legendary; be sure to check out 'Don't Break the Oath'! Cheers!

I have one Kataklysm album, I believe it is the 2020 release, can't remember exactly but I do like it. I have so many King Diamond albums and I still don't have all of them. I literally have 3 copies of Them, I always buy it if I see it in the wild. It is not my favorite but I like it ok, mainly love that artwork. Great vid bro.

[@stormwind_7996]

Thanks, man! Cool, I haven't heard too many recent KATAKLYSM albums, simply because they have so many, but I'm sure the new one is also good! Agreed, I think the best aspect of 'Them' is the artwork, which is what initially drew me in! For that reason, it would be a good album to collect in multiple formats! The music on that album, however, is just OK for me. Thanks for watching!

[@JoshKeech]

Cool stuff James! Kataklysm I have on my list, I do enjoy some Melodic Death Metal. I really like Illdisposed, so if Kataklysm sound like them I'll like it. Khold sound pretty cool from what you've said, I like Darkthrone so if they have that sound I'll like them. Cheers 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@stormwind_7996]

Thanks, Josh! Yes, based on what you said and your tastes in general, I think you'd like KATAKLYSM and KHOLD! See what you think!

[@JoshKeech]

@stormwind_7996 You're welcome mate! Ah nice that's great, yeah from what you said about them I think I'll like them too. I'll definitely check them out, cheers man 😁🤘🏻

I remember seeing King Diamond on a TV show and he seemed like a real cool guy. My favorite band with the letter "K" is Kromheim. Speaking of Canadian bands, have you heard the new Anvil? Good record. I think it's better than the new Blaze Bayley, which is a decent album but nothing really different from his vast catalog. Great video. I wish i would have had you reviewing the albums I was buying 20 years ago, I bought a few lame records. Cheers.

[@stormwind_7996]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I've also seen King Diamond on TV shows and he seemed like a very cool guy indeed! I haven't heard the new ANVIL, because it's hard to keep up with them, haha, but I'm definitely a fan and own a few of their albums! Yeah, it would also be fun to review other people's albums! Cheers!

@@stormwind_7996 I just drove to work listening to the new album by 200 Stab Wounds. Good album, a lot different than their previous releases where they are similar to Undergang from Denmark. I LOVE Undergang, especially the first couple of albums.
