Iā€™m not really big on metal but Judas Priest caught my eye, been playing them for a couple years now.

CARCASS & GOATWHORE Hilariously Featured on CBSā€™ Elementary

On this past Thursdayā€™s edition of the CBS procedural Elementary, they had a hacker-themed episode with a metal twist. Deathā€™s Chuck Schuldiner as well as music by Carcassā€™ ā€œCaptive Bolt Pistolā€ and Goatwhoreā€™s ā€œBaring Teeth for Revoltā€ was also featured. Also, hearing Goatwhore said in a British accent has made my morning.

Priest is one of the greats. You could do far worse as far as ā€œ(One of) the only metal band(s) I like.ā€ Iā€™ve seen them live twice, they were amazing both times.

new Einherjer

Just got home from seeing Death. Such a great show. So unfortunate I never had the chance to see them live before. Chuckā€™s songs sound so vibrant live.

If the show was anything like when I saw them myself back in 2013, Iā€™m sure it was amazing. Death is indeed a great live band.

While weā€™re on the subject, Iā€™m reminded of one of the opening acts they brought along for my show. These guys are a trip.

Do you have a set list?

The songs order? No, I donā€™t. They played many famous ones starting with The Philosopher, Suicide Machine, Leprosy, Choke on It, Zombie Ritual, Scream Bloody Gore, Overactive Imagination, Human Form, Symbolic, Crystal Mountain, Zero Tolerance, Pull the Plug as the final song. Some from the older albums I donā€™t remember. Sadly, they didnā€™t play my favorites from Sounds of Perseverance: Spirit Crusher and Scavengers of human sorow. They played Bite the Pain which I am not crazy about :neutral_face:
