Every month Ghost Cult polls our staff to see what they are listening to at the moment. Sometimes it’s the latest underground album, and sometimes it’s an old favorite. Sometimes the music isn’t even metal, and that’s okay too. You can always find the Top Five list in our digital magazine, out monthly. This month UK Deputy Editor Steve Tovey shares with us what he is listening to right now.

 

Pyrrhon – The Mother Of Virtues

Picked up for review, but keep spinning it, with each listen a new challenge. Cracking this is harder than cracking the Enigma code. Incredible intensity taken to the very extreme boundary of what is still music.
Amon Amarth – Deceiver Of The Gods

My favourite album of last year. Great for cardio! Stick this on, beast the first 20 mins, hit a good mid-tempo rhythm for 15 then amp it up for ‘Warriors of the North’ to round off your cardio work out.

 

Slayer – Show No Mercy

Hadn’t listened for a while, stuck it on while working out – instant grin, instant extra 5%, instantly reminded what a great album this is, instantly listened again. Perfect mix of Maiden, Venom and Metallica and possibly my favourite Slayer album. Yep.

Edguy – Space Police
I love a good bit of power metal, but I’m picky and most power metal albums fall short of my standards. This stands head and shoulders as best power metal album of last 2 years. All together now “Love T-T-T-Tyger!!!”

 

Whitesnake – Trouble
1987 is one of my all time favourite albums, but recently been dipping into the ‘snakes back cat a bit more, and this is timeless. Dave Trousersnake says he never stole another man’s woman but I find it hard to believe that…

Ghost Cult Top Five – Wren Leader

Every month Ghost Cult polls its staff to see what they are listening to at the moment. Sometimes it’s the latest underground album, and sometimes it’s an old favorite. Sometimes the music isn’t even metal, and that’s okay too. This month our scribe Wren Leader gets deep with us about what he is spinning right now.

 

Horrible Earth – Horrible Earth: These guys totally tore it up at Ralph’s in Worcester a few weeks ago. Their record is equally as awesome. Killer death metal with a little grind/hardcore touches to make things bad ass.

Beth Hart – Screamin’ For My Supper: Was driving back from DC listening to this album. For fans of chick rock that has a bit more bite and bitch then sweet and poppy.

Alcest – Les Voyages de L’ame: Last year I must’ve listened to this album at least twice every week. Sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. When Neige brings on the black metal vocals on “Là où naissent les couleurs nouvelles” I literally get goosebumps

Babymetal – Babymetal: I was into Babymetal before everyone and their mother loved/hated them! Gotta say, this is a damn fine merger of some of the most sweet cute pop I’ve ever heard and the gnarliest metal riffs ever.

Kevin Hufnagel – Ashland: Gorguts/Dysrhythmia guitarist playing solo ukulele. Very chill and relaxing but still complex. Great record to sit back and sip on some wine or tea and let the music comfort you.
