El Thule : No Guts, No Glory

Italian self-styled drug-rock, a sublime mix of punk velocity and stoner fuzz, and catchy, seemingly (but not actually) wordless vocals.
Simple enough, but very enjoyable stuff, delivered with energy and spirit.

From El Thule's more recent, more stoner, less punk album, Green Magic:

El Thule - Black Mamba / album: Green Magic 2007

NO GUTS NO GLORY

Bulldozer : IX

Let's be honest.

That is one terrible album cover.

I certainly never would have picked this up if someone hadn't forced it on me, and that would have been a sad mistake as, despite the Sean Connery-playing-Doctor Strange fellow gracing the front cover(I'm afraid he may be the singer), Bulldozer were really an excellent thrash/black metal band who most people reading this site are probably more familiar with than me- my knowledge of 80's metal is all kinds of spotty. Suffice to say they're awesome: a driving, pounding (cape-wearing) metal beast. Listen if you haven't heard.
