Plant Page Curry Combo

Yummy for the tummy

All Hail (capital H hail) moshers! I bring to thee another wonderful meal which won't cost the earth but will almost certainly make it MOVE! Not to mention light you up like a firecracker up an arsonists azz. All you need is a Mayflower beef curry (can be bought in Farmfoods £1.39p) a carton of their egg fried rice (75p) and a teaspoon of Blair's Ultra Death hot sauce (800,000 Scoville Heat Units of hot.) Takes around 8 minutes of nuking in the micro (but you can use the oven) and the taste? F**king DIVINE, proper bloody lusho!
Its like a moshpit on yer tongue but BEWARE ONLY CHILIHEADS NEED APPLY because at 800,000 SHU, the Death sauce turns this usually tame curry into a ravenous sabre toothed kitty cat on the hunt for your screaming, melting innards. Im not joking either, regular readers of this blog will know from previous posts that the Ultra Death sauce isn't messing around.
I have added Blairs to many curries over the last few months but Mayflowers has brought the best results. Its truly very tasty. Also, unlike other readymade curries who skimp on the meat, Mayflowers has a tidy bit of beef in there, so be careful not to overcook (over nuke?) in the micro because if you do? It gets tough.
If you enjoy Vindaloo, this is a decent alternative if you can't be fussed with heading out to a takeaway. In fact its better when you compare it to some of the shoddier takeaways lurking on our high streets. It was definitely a great way to finish off my bottle of Ultra Death (see empty bottle below.) So I had better sign off this post and get ordering more!

Bah

(Interlude) Warbringer

Okay, spank my toned ass with hot chili pepper, because before a few hours ago I had never heard of Warbringer. And yes, that is the look of utter shame you can imagine me wearing right now. There is no excuse really, only with the advent of internet, getting to hear every single great metal band out there is becoming that much harder. Yeah yeah, you'd think with sites like SoundCloud and Spotify, the task would be made easier but no! By the awesome beards of Amon Amarth, there are too many studded fruits on offer, its like a child being let loose in a sweetshop with unlimited dosh and no threat of rotten teeth. To misquote the wise poet Coleridge; music music everywhere, and too many beats to drink.
But found them I have now (he says like Yoda) thanks to a thrash metal radio station on the TuneIn App, and be sure I will be checking more of Warbringer's stuff out just as soon as I finish spreading the metal gospel via my super Scoville fuelled blogs of doom.

Blair's After Death Sauce

Blair's Ultra Death Sauce

Sweet Chilli O' Mine

Bought a bottle of Blair's Ultra Death Sauce this week to replace my empty Mega Death bottle. Its a step up from Mega and contains red habanero pods, cayenne chilies, pirri-pirri chilies with added Naga Jolokia peppers and is a eye watering, nut melting 800,000 Scoville Units.

Clive Burr Lives On

Drum solo in Reading, 1982

Clive Burr passed away yesterday at the criminally young age of 56. Sleep well Clive, happy knowing you made Iron Maiden that bit extra special. I have been a Maiden fan since the beginning. Their 1980 debut "Iron Maiden" record was one of the first albums I ever owned and the band have been with me since I was 9 years old, making them feel like distant friends who accompanied me to school and who were around when I got my first girlfriend so this news was sadder than most.
Clive was an awesome drummer (check out a solo above) and those first three Maiden albums (Iron Maiden, Killers and The Number of the Beast) were simply stunning pieces of work. There isn't a bad track on any of them. Not one rubbish song, there aren't many bands who can claim that. (In fact besides the mighty Maiden I can't name any.)

Cliff Burton, Ronnie James Dio, Dimebag Darrel; it looks like God just needed a drummer.

Cheese Muerte

Cannibal Sauce!

A Wylde time

Blair's awesome hot (really hot!) sauces have teamed up with the equally cool Zakk Wylde to bring the world Zakk's Shot to Hell Sauce! Part of the blurb reads; the hottest sauce in Zakk's line, this one separates the men from the boys. Be warned, it contains ingredients 600 times hotter than a jalapeño chili. Use sparingly. Not recommended for use without dilution.

So same strength as the Mega Death Sauce? This is going to be the Feasts next purchase to try for the blog. Come to think about it,the hot sauce/metal combo is a f**king great one. Both compliment each other in their extreme versions of their particular talent. Slayer need to team up with Blair and create the Angel Of Death Sauce! Motorhead too, the Killed By Death Sauce! (Blair like to use the word 'death' in their product.) Theres no end to the possibilities, and the more I think about it, the more I feel it would be a raoring success. Hell's blls even the imagery with fire and skulls suit both bnads and sauce.



Beware!

Me v Blair's Death Sauce

Whisky and hot sauce wise?

Blair's Mega Death Sauce - A habanero sauce with cayenne, white vinegar, ancho chilies, chipotles, natural pepper flavor, molasses, guava nectar, ginger, salt, and spices. 550,000 Scoville units. 650 times hotter than a Jalapeño chile.

I did it!! I took on Blair's Mega Death sauce and lived to tell the tale! And to answer the burning question (see what I did there?) YES IT BURNS!! This sauce is not for the faint of heart (or those with cotton lined gullets.) But it is bearable, especially if you enjoy hot/spicy food. A lot of these powerfully strong sauces taste like dirt but this is rather tasty, and has a tomato flavour with a hint of pepper. If it wasn't for the fact it is so potent, I would be replacing my regular ketchup with it.
Most people buy Blair's sauces for the danger or 'novelty facor' (its one way of getting dinner guests talking!) but its so much more than a cheap trick at supper, Blair's Mega Death sauce really does add something special to any meal/snack. It certainly livened up my burger! (I will be adding a drop to my next vindaloo to crank it up further so stay tuned for that.)

I had read a lot of things online about the mega death sauce, some of it wildly exaggerated, some bang on the money accurate but this is what rang true for me the most ~ do not plan on dabbing a drop on your tongue to “get a feel for it”. This is very true, I only used a small blob and it was easily equal in strength to my hottest curry. So be warned: the wise will dilute this sauce with a drop of water if you are not used to hot peppers like the habanero. Im not kidding for the sake of dramatics either!
So final thoughts on Blair's Mega Death sauce; a tasty tang of tomato witha smidge of pepper, EXTREMELY HOT but bearable if you enjoy hot food. Very happy I tried it, will be adding this to a lot more snacks. Gulp!

Bonus extra ~ Its so powerful it works on toothache and headaches too. Seriously, the kick releases an endorphin rush which is the bodies natural painkiller, so it adds a nice extra to your meal.

Mega Death!!

Dare me?

Nope this has nothing to do with a certain Dave Mustaine's band but it WILL have you sweating bullets (see what I did there?) and a whole lot more I shouldn't wonder. Hold on to yer asses, this journey might get a little bumpy because my fellow moshers I give you the Mega Death Sauce! A sauce that contains ingredients 500 times HOTTER than a Jalapeno Chile. Crikey! To add to the fear factor(y) it has various 'Warnings O'Doom' on the bottle such as "Use sparingly" and "Not recommended for use without dilution". Gulp. Along with the other spices, Mega Death Sauce contains Habanero Peppers, Cayenne Peppers and Chipotle Peppers. And I simply have to try it. I can deny it to my tastebuds no longer.

Disclaimer: Warning: this product contains the hottest known ingredients on the planet earth. Please use with extreme caution.

It ARRIVED!!

Cannibal Corpse

Evisceration Plague

Cannibal Corpse are a killer f**king band. Their last three albums, Kill, Evisceration Pague and Torture have all been mighty slabs of pure death metal. (And I love the records before those too of course. Eaten Back to Life!) I always begin the day with a Corpse album, its like a power shot of adrenaline injected straight into the f**king eyeballs and make no mistake.
And when I first heard them way waaay back I dismissed the band as merely a gimmick and trying too hard to nick Obituary's style. What a fool I was and Id like to go back in time and kick my younger self in the ass for thinking lie that. Although in my defense, I didnt think that for very long and was soon a Cannibal Corpse fan having been won over by their unrelenting power, aggression and talent to write POUNDING-HEAVY-AS-SHIT metal songs. Hell when you discover such a bad ass band as the Corpsters, it isn't long before repenting those earlier words of doubt. (You can't really blame me for the initial doubt, ive seen too many wannabes in my 30 years of being a metalhead, but Cannibal Corpse are NOT one of them.)
Anyway enjoy these videos and if this does happen to be your first introduction to the band, then head over to Youtube and kick out some more of their brillantly heavy tunes. You won't regret it! Unless your ears and innards are made of cloth. MOSH THOSE NUTS OFF!!

Napalm Death Scum Redux

Bagsy the purple one!

In 1987 grindcore kings Napalm Death, unleashed the awesome Scum album onto the world. The world (especially the heavy metal bits of it) was staggered. It was LOUD and faster than a blue arsed fly on speed. I f**king loved it! Im playing From Enslavement To Obliteration (released not long after) as I type.
Feasts Of Metal bring thee great news. Scum is set to be re-released on limited-edition coloured vinyl LP (and CD) on March 5 via the super Earache Records. Get it in!!
