Strapped down, screaming out to die

I put some really kick-ass thrash songs on my IScream (which is a strangely appropriate medium through which to be listening to thrash) and it's been great. I think a renaissance is in order.

ANGEL OF DEATH by SLAYER
BLOOD OF THE ZODIAC by MACHINE HEAD

Have been particularly important. I'm going to add some Arise-era Sepultura songs when I get back just to top it all off.

CREATION OF THE INSANE RULE
ALL WE HEAR
DESPERATE CRY

Good hunting.

Four hundred thousand more to die

The longest gap in blogpostings. I'm surprised I didn't give up altogether.
