I didn't hear it yet but some people say that the new Portrait is fucking killer.

Gonna be going through JavySlay's list for a while now, I'm really into this stuff at the moment. How good are Manilla Road, fucking best shit ever.

oh, shut up!

ironsword kills!

It doesn't get more manly than early Manowar.

I just noticed no-one had recommended Omen's Battle Cry yet.

This is unacceptable.

HEAVY LOAD
