Portals new one Vexovoid is great. Was expecting to feel a little bit meh about it, wasnt the biggest fan of Swarth, perhaps that was Portal burnout after what was at that time about a decade worth of seeing them semi regularly and perhaps listening to them a little too much
. But yeah Vexovoid is great, feels a bit cleaner, maybe more like Impetuous Rituals "Relentless Execution Of Ceremonial Excrescence" (one of the best DM albums ever).Ive also been spinning Chelsea Wolfes entire discography alot. And the New Defeated Sanity album, genius Brutality if ever i have heard it. AAAAAAAAAAnd rounding out my listening habits with a liberal sprinkling of Profanatica. and the new Mournful Congregation. and i think thats it... probably not...
"
. On another note Iron Maiden is also or at least was huge in Japan. Damn I love Japanese maybe that's why I married one 
I like but I wish they would pick up the tempo from time to time. I find those extremely heavy riffs more satisfying when they arrive after an onslaught of speed that builds up during a song that increases with intensity and velocity and finally comes crashing down. I had to hear some good ol' "In The Name of Suffering" a true masterpiece from Eyehategod
