ALBUMS OF THE WEEK. Here are the nine albums that got the most playtime from me this week. The clear winner was All Hell’s The Grave Alchemist. This album came out in 2017, has awesome Castlevania-inspired artwork, and crosses a lot of genres. I love it. All Hell’s newer album, The Witch’s Grail, also made the cut this week. I also dug deep into the well for some ancient Skeletal Remains to help me prepare for their upcoming 2020 release. 1. All Hell - The Grave Alchemist 2. Kvaen - The Funeral Pyre 3. Sinira - The Everlorn 4. Skeletal Remains - Beyond the Flesh 5. Tribulation - The Formulas of Death 6. All Hell - The Witch’s Grail 7. Night Cobra - In Praise of the Shadow 8. Haunt - Flashback 9. Exhumed - Necrocracy What topped your charts this week?

I was given a challenge today to post pics of things I have signed. My favorite item is my beloved Gatecreeper skateboard deck. I’ve also chosen nine other prized signed items to complete this challenge.

#PerfectPairing is Wraith’s Absolute Power with All Hell’s The Grave Alchemist. Seriously, try this combination and just see if black magic doesn’t happen. While you’re at it, go ahead and listen to all of All Hell’s records to achieve full edification.

#mpvpatchchallenge Day 6: “Your coolest shaped patch.” This one definitely goes to my Haunt backpatch. I got this from the merch table at Hell’s Heroes II last year.

All Hell’s official patches are now live on the their Bandcamp page ($5). Your vest needs more black magic thrash representation on it, I’m sure, so go get one: https://allhell.bandcamp.com/merch/mist-logo-patch

Here is Part 2 of MPV’s Top 30 albums for 2019. To recap: rankings are based not only on music quality, but on data regarding my own personal listening history. Newer albums might be ranked a little lower because I haven’t had as much time to fully digest them. Conversely, older albums may have been disadvantaged by the onslaught of new releases. Regardless of where the album lands here, it has my seal of approval and glowing recommendation.
