That's on the confessions list too. Coming up sooner rather than later on the randomised list.

Verdict: I've had an up and down relationship to Pestilence in the past. I remember really enjoying Testimony of the Ancients, finding Spheres interesting and thought Doctrine was a piece of shit. Debut album Malleus Maleficarum finds them more in thrash metal mood and it's a pretty solid release.

What I Buy It? Possibly, but I'd prefer to get Testimony of the Ancients based on my memory of that album.


Pestilence really smashed it out of the park with Consuming Impulse. I love it more than the albums either side of it.

Ironically I didn't put that one on my list. Picked The Outer Ones, Deathless and Chaos of Forms. I'll still check out Great is Our Sin of course.

Artist: Revocation
Album: The Outer Ones



Verdict: A quite recent one so not the most glaring omission on my part and I have heard some other Revocation, though they are a fairly recent one to be ticked off my bands to check out list. This one finds them much more in the tech death camp than they're known for, but it's a very solid tech-death album.

Would I Buy It? Yes, although not sure yet what my first choice for Revocation would be. They are certainly a band I'd like something by in my collection though.

Artist: Omen
Album: The Curse



Verdict: I've heard other Omen albums before and remember liking them to different degrees, but it's been a while. This one is fairly typical sounding USPM/heavy metal of the time period. Solid stuff, but it doesn't blow me away or get my blood boiling with meaty riffs the way the best USPM does.

Would I Buy it? If it was cheap enough, I guess.

Fixing the Confessions - A Metalhead's Journey Through Albums He Really Should Have Heard By Now

I recently posted my List Challenge Confessions of a Metalhead (link) where I collected 450 albums that I'd never heard (well, 449, because I included one I'd completely forgot I had heard), but felt like, based on factors such as overall notability and personal taste, that I probably should have checked out by now.

This blog, concurrent to my The Great Collection Rediscovery blog, aims to correct some of these omissions, album by album, though perhaps not with the same frequency as I'm going through the CDs I own for the other blog.

Ticking an album off this list can only be done if it cane be streamed free and legally. Usually this will mean Spotify, on which I'm making a playlist of albums which can be accessed here:


Selection and order of the albums has been done using a randomizer.

List of Releases Not on Spotify in the UK:

Arckanum - Fran Marder
Sabbat - The Dwelling
Sadus - Illusions
Sigh - Scorn Defeat
Spirit Caravan - Jug Fulla Sun
