A destructive vortex of extreme metal returns to Toledo, OH this coming June 8th, with TOLEDO DEATH FEST announcing its 2024 lineup featuring OCEANO, THE CONVALESCENCE, VISCERAL DISGORGE, ROSE FUNERAL, CASKET ROBBERY, and more!
Ok so starting off this is just my personal preferences, I’m sure you’ll have a different Top 10.
10. Rock Believer (2022)
You start to crawl until you walk You make a scream and learn to talk You discover life on every day From the first day you were born You walked a lifeline of your own And if you always keep the faith
No one can take your dreams away In the ruins of their souls You saw the beauty of it all Simply a generation change
Favourites includePeacemaker and the title track
9. Face the Heat (1993)
In the city of angels Death is just a moment away In the city of angels Your future won’t see the light of the day
Beware of the alien nation Beware of the truth that they seek They pray for eternal salvation They pray for your soul to keep
Favourites include Alien Nation and Under the Same Sun
8. Fly to the Rainbow (1974)
Life is empty, can’t remember anytime before, On a plain lit cold December, see it evermore, Gliding through this life, and another is a child, And we’re doing games, and losing things, Always playing gigs. Somewhere in the sky, where the moon the stars shine bright, Where the sun is shining, in the night. I am in disgrace, yet i see a smiling face, And i hope you let me, share your place. I don’t live today.
Favourites include Speedy’s Coming and the title track
7. Virgin Killer (1976)
Dark meditation Your second sight can show my light In a crystal ball Sweet are the days Intoxication Crow-black the nights caging my mind Behind the wall
Into the rock through walls of red dreams Into the rock to find the cream Into the rock through walls of red dreams Pictured life from yesterday
Favourites include Pictured Life and Catch Your Train
6. Savage Amusement (1988)
Let’s spend the night together I know you want it too The magic of the moment Is what I’ve got for you
The heartbeat of this night Is made to lose control And there is something in your eyes That’s longing for some more
Let us find together The beat we’re looking for
Favourites include Rhythm of Love and Believe in Love
5. Crazy World (1990)
Follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change An August summer night Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change The world is closing in Did you ever think That we could be so close, like brothers
The future’s in the air Can feel it everywhere Blowing with the wind of change
Favourites include Wind of Change and Send Me an Angel
4. Animal Magnetism (1980)

Girl, it’s been a long time that we’ve been apart Much too long for a man who needs love I miss you since I’ve been away Babe, it wasn’t easy to leave you alone It’s getting harder each time that I go If I had the choice, I would stay
