Necrotic Nick Collection Update 162

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Tapping the Vein is not only my favorite Sodom album but may be my favorite thrash album. Love the new Thy Catafalque.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- It's a tough call for me between that one, Agent Orange and Persecution Mania for my favorite Sodom album. When that band is on they're on. Thy Catafalque has been on tear of killer releases here lately. I definitely have some catching up to do with that discography.

[@mindful2864]

Another great CD update. I loved the new Thy Catafalque and Sentient Horror albums. Also great choices with Ratt, Sodom, and Vehemence.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, I figure this was a good batch to close out the year for collection updates.

[@ProfJasonC]

Dude, thanks so much for the kind words about my new album (Puritan Opiate). So glad you liked it, and also that the drums are coming through with more and more clarity. Can't wait for the year-end lists. And now to listen to some death metal gravy.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Hey! Not a problem, man! Thank you for sending me more music. It's been awesome to hear the evolution of your music over time. The drums coming through was a big deal. I'm picky about drum production and levels and being able to hear them clearly filled out the sound well. I'm going to finish recording my year end stuff tomorrow and Friday will kick off the year end stuff with the Top 10 EPs for me. Enjoy the death metal gravy, man lol!

[@ProfJasonC]

@@thrallsofmetal Also, glad to know I wasn't the only kid to obsessively read those horror movie synopses. I knew a ridiculous amount of things about 70s and 80s horror movies before I was even allowed to watch one of them, strictly because of that habit🤘

[@matthewmacdonaldchannel1]

4:08: We have Nick doing an honest-to-god John Tardy. Archive this with all the Chris Barnes soundboard goodies, nerds. Christmas came early!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Eh, I think I've done better (well, not on camera though) but with an Obituary ranking on the distant horizon I'm sure you'll hear a better on in the future. Thank though, man!

[@MrLando0]

Dude, Devil Master plus Poison Ruin equals Demon Sacrifice for sure. Killer!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, that one was a bit of a shocker for me. I wasn't expecting something that melodic but man it was killer.

[@Yaummers]

Mausoleum whoops ass. Glad you got those records. Their new record is in my top 30 records of the year.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- From the first swampy riff I knew I was going to love them. I love Autopsy so it was an easy win for me. The new one is good but honestly I really dug the first one minus the production. It's just gross in all the right ways.

[@tainted_lord87]

Killer collection update Nick! Good to see Mausoleum, Sentient Horror, Sodom and Vehemence.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Those Mausoleum albums were a killer surprise in the mail for sure.

[@tobyfingland8149]

Another great update, thanks for the entertainment all year, been highly enjoyable, need to dive into Mausoleum and Desekryptor, always enjoy sentient horror albums, alchemy of flesh is a must find now. Cheers.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you're finding killer new stuff to jam on here and I'd strongly recommend all of those bands you highlighted there.

[@IanBullass-h5n]

Mausoleum I've added to my expanding list .. never heard of them .thank you .... I think 😂

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- If you love Autopsy and I guess by extension Abscess then you'll probably dig them.

[@IanBullass-h5n]

@thrallsofmetal love autopsy .. I like the re Union stuff the most tbh .. cheers

[@hvitekristesdod]

I have that Vehemence album! Great stuff. Thanks for the recommendations

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- It's pretty solid album. I definitely want to get the rest of their stuff for sure. I hope you find a bunch of killer new stuff to jam with this one.

[@corystafford4958]

Nice channel Also, nice Pelican picture behind you. I enjoy their jams a lot. 👍

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm a huge fan of Pelican in general. I own pretty much all their stuff.

[@corystafford4958]

@thrallsofmetal me too. 🤘

[@WilliamRyan-h2y]

Love all your updates, dude. And to be quite frank, you make me feel a lot less guilty of my addiction (I'm nowhere near you but currently at 3,300 cd's and about 200 vinyl). Also, I may or may not have ordered roughly 300 new albums during Black Friday week 🤣

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, some might say I'm addicted to collecting... but they're wrong and I don't have a problem and I can quit anytime j/k lol. For real though, don't feel guilty if it brings you some joy and it's not hurting anyone.

[@WilliamRyan-h2y]

@@thrallsofmetal Haha those are same valid points. Lots of worse things to be into!

[@JosephKissSr.]

You had me sold with Autopsy worship and death metal gravy 😂. Cheers to another great year of collection updates !

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Death metal gravy seems like it would be a harder sell to most lol. Cheers to you as well, man!

[@oildini8174]

Out of all your videos these are legit the most therapeutic for me, I chuckle these on when im working out or working and I think its the way you speak on things. Its really engaging keep it up

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Outside of the time it takes to shoot these and edit them down I really enjoy just getting a chance to riff about a bunch of bands. I'm glad you dig them, man!

[@jasonb328]

Hey, Nick, I think the Sodom album includes a remix, not a re-recording. I believe their old guitarist remixed it with some alternate takes here and there. I think I like the original mix more though. Edge of Sanity is including remixed versions with their new reissues as well. Great stuff!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- They have it labeled as a "redux" so I think it is re-recorded. It really does sound re-recorded rather than a remixed version and Sodom has been re-recording material so it seems like a real possibility. That's the impression I got at least. Either way, the straight up remaster of the original is the way to go for sure on that edition. I've been meaning to check out the remasters of Edge of Sanity reissues but I have pretty much all of their albums already and outside of maybe the first album I really don't have much of a problem with their production.

[@Vb98765]

That Vehemence album is great. I always find it amusing when some people complain about melodic death metal being 'too melodic' 😂

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I like it but in comparison to God Was Created I do think it's a bit weaker. I do like the fact that they overall do a heavier style of melodeath though which is refreshing.

[@JohannesDonnerstich]

Sadistic Ritual!

[@meanmetalmike666]

Great video nick

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!

[@bjwaters]

I agree that Ratt's debut album is pretty solid, and in fact, I've found that a lot of the pop/glam metal of the early 80s is pretty good, as they weren't as focused on polish and power ballads. I know you said you don't like Motley Crue, but I think their first album has some great songs on it, Europe has some interesting stuff on their first two albums, and Def Leppard's debut is also amazing (I think you already covered that one in a Collection Update, IIRC).

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- One of my favorite things about that Ratt debut is they skipped the trope of having a power ballad. All of the songs are flat out rockers and driven by killer, catchy riffs. Give me that all day over power ballads. I don't like Motely Crue much after Shout at the Devil. There was a sharp decline in quality after that one in my opinion and the same can be said for Def Leppard after Pyromania. I've never really listened to much Europe (outside of the obvious "Final Countdown") so I can't say much there. Maybe one of these days I'll sit down and jam some of their stuff. We'll see how much damage to my psyche this Motely Crue ranking does to me lol.

[@bjwaters]

@@thrallsofmetal Maybe if you alternate between Motley Crue and Bolt Thrower, you'll survive. 😂

[@KiwiDimi]

Hi Nick , have you ever heard about Negative Plane? They are coming to my town next year.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I know of them but I've never dove into their music. I believe they'll be at MDF next year so I may get a chance to catch them live.

[@JohannesDonnerstich]

Great band!

[@joerg721]

Hey Nick, what about some Mekong Delta? Would love to see a ranking...

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I have really never sat down and jammed that band but I'd be down to rank them in the future.

[@JosephKissSr.]

Ratt > Motley, not a doubt in my mind.

[@Nadinetherescuehound]

Warren is stud for sure.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Agreed. It's not even a fair fight in my mind lol.

[@heathertiller3644]

Yea, Pearcy is sounding awesome these days! 😂😂😂😂😂 There’s a reason none of them want to play with him anymore. And even Crosby had left the band before he passed. So umm, yeah. But I do like them, and I like that I can see him in concert, at community centers these days.

[@benng4376]

I have those Sedimentum and Sentient Horror albums. Both great.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I was pretty blown away by the new Sedimentum but the new Sentient Horror, while I dug it, didn't hit as hard as Rites of Gore did for me.

[@Gregbaltzer]

I might get some Ratt someday. I also think Lay It Down off their second album is good. As an 80s thrasher Ratt never offended me like Cinderella, Poison, or Britney Fox did. The older I get the more I find my taste going back to classic heavy metal/hard rock and death metal, and a lot less thrash. And when I want to listen to thrash its just thrash from 1983-1990.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I've been meaning to own some Ratt (or at least some of their earlier stuff) for awhile now. All I really know is Out of the Cellar but I think I'm going to hunt down the next 2 and then maybe check out more after that. I hear there's a real drop off after the 3rd album. To me, Ratt has more musically in common with old heavy metal than the rest of the glam scene so I think we're on the same page here.

[@lutfimakarim8258]

Wait. Didn't we just got a collection update? 😂

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- We're doubling down lol.

[@lutfimakarim8258]

A part of me wishes Ratt won instead of Motley Crue.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Most of me wishes that lol
