Metal Monday.

Every time this song pops up on my Spotify playlist, I think I should post it here….

Finally remembered. Love it….and it’s Monday!!

Out by a day, but anyway…. Butcher Babies:

i have had this on repeat for the last week. Absolute banger!

This popped up in my recommendations. Bollywod does metal… could do without the baldy nu-metal fella, but liking it very much nonetheless.

Metal! On a Monday!

Weirdly ambient in places.

A typically idiosyncratic  cover of Radiohead’s Paranoid Andriod.

I love this album but why has it taken until now to find this?!?! Love it 😂

This has been out a while but I only recently discovered it:

Some kind of involved 13/14/15 beat cycle is used to explain the structure of the piece, but the upshot is that it’s an hour of Mike Scheidt playing drone chords, because THAT IS HOW LONG IT TAKES. Love it.

Did anyone see Skindred pop up on BBC Breakfast on Saturday!? 🙂

Came in to discuss their new album going straight in at No.2 on the Album Chart…

Another Imperial Triumphant cover

I’m off to see Trivium on thursday…..

Time to add another one.

New album, etc…

Damnation Festival this weekend! Was anyone there? I wasn’t sadly 😐

One from the archives, which I missed back in the day:

Another great pre-Sunn-O))) project involving Stephen O’Malley. SCRAAAANNNG, stop, SQEEEEEEAAAL guitar lines reminiscent of Khanate.

Be rude not to…

…BLEURGH!

At the apex of metal Monday, internet gems and skateboarding (Fred took up skateboarding in his seventies😛):

Lots to go at in here…

The Closet Witch and Ragana records on this list I really enjoyed. The new Khanate, not so much. Maybe I need to revisit it?

This is my Metal for this Monday, just because it was warping my mind slightly on Friday:

Merry Xmas😉😉😉

Happy ‘kin Christmas!

Was expecting more corpse paint and leather spikeyness from a band called Black Moth.

Had a whiz over the Stereogum “Best Metal Albums of 2023” list the other week and found not only a bunch of records I’d missed, but also a lot of bands I’d never heard of. What a genre.

^ this is one of them, I like it a lot.

Metal! Monday!

I wasn’t expecting great things from a slowed down Slayer cover album & haven’t listened to it all but their version of War Ensemble is very good.

New HoF due out 4/20 (of course). I’m hopefully going to see them in Leeds in June 🙂

Off to see these fellas in May.
