“Album Of The Day” is a Last Rites Facebook feature we started whose purpose is quite straight-forward: highlight one album per day and say a few words about it. Understanding that not everyone chooses to participate in the booking of faces, we thought it might be nice to toss in a feature that gathers the albums in a single piece on a weekly basis.
Here are the seven albums we picked for the week of June 9th — June 15th.
Sunday, June 9th
Last Rites’ Album Of The Day // HAIKU EDITION
Deathhammer – Onward To the Pits (2012)
German style thrash
I like Destruction also
Please to listen drunk

Queensryche – Empire (1990)
Top tier prog metal
Goes hard rock for pop success
To old guard’s dismay.
Tuesday, June 11th

A classic among classics
A peak of The Wave

Tasmanian forests are
Alive with malice.

See you next week.
Why include Extreme’s Pornograffiti? Surely there are better records that could have been featured.
What’s next? White Lion, Winger and Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet? Jackal and the chainsaw song?
