Bolt Thrower has perfected their own style of Medieval-ish melodic death metal, and they deserve to be heard because they do it better than anyone else.
While there’re songs I like better then those chosen to represent the bands, that might just clue ya into the fact I own a fuckload of Epitaph’s records.
Lazy man’s Black Crowes, sometimes salsified and rippled with steel drums, occasionally stirred with a little lounge music, or shaken with honky-tonk guitars.
Black Sabbath’s live history is patchwork at best. The record sounds great, everybody is doing their job, the secret weapon being Bill Ward and Geezer Butler.
