Welcome to Source of Steel - The Heavy Metal Museum. For the metal head who likes to own or collect physical CDs, Source of Steel is my website dedicated to the love of physical metal on shiny plastic discs. Micro-reviews, thoughts, pics of my own collection and random utterances galore. The site started out purely as a way of sharing my rarities to like-minded fans, but now (for longevity's sake more than anything) it is open to new physical metal music bits I've picked up, including new releases and other random shit.

God Forsaken - Dismal Gleams of Desolation / The Tide Has Turned


These guys never quite won me over unfortunately, but I know they do have a fairly decent following in the underground. The music they made was indeed doom/death, but the doom side to it is more of a bouncy, Cathedral-esque doom which gives off a rock and roll vibe - all with death metal vocals! Both original Adipocere Records pressings.

    Their first release "Dismal Gleams" had some great tracks in my personal opinion. Though I can completely understand why some get caught up in some of the odd passages. I'm a sucker for Old School Death/Doom. Big fan of Winter, Disembowelment etc...

      Yeah, they're not bad albums by any means - they just didn't really grab me by the throat

      Yeah I completely understand. They're not that intense compared to some other Doom/Death releases.
